[Biofuel] Inline Refractometer?

just worried it wouldn't be sensitive enough to tell the difference...or that dirty wash water doesn't refract enough light to actually make this possible. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Will Kelleher ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel

[Biofuel] 450 gal batch reactor

Hey all, I'm looking for a stainless steel chemical reactor that can handle about 450 gallons of oil. Does anyone know where I can find something like this? Thanks, Will K ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org

[Biofuel] Cold Weather Oil Collection and Other Questions

Hey everyone,I am currently attending the University of Illinois. A student group that I am involved with has recently begun a project to convert all of the used cooking oil from the university food services into biodiesel to power university vehicles. The WVO is currently collected by a company

[Biofuel] Cold Weather Collection and Other Questions

Sorry, I hit send before I was finished. As I was saying:We are concerned that it will be difficult to collect the WVO in the winter because it will be solid. The company uses a heating element on the collection trunk, but we'll just be sucking it out with a hose. Does anyone know how we should

[Biofuel] Production Trailer

Hello everyone,I'm starting college this August at the University of Illinois. I've been playing around with biodiesel for the past year and now I'm trying to set up a 200 gallon batch reactor. The only problem is, I have nowhere to do it. I've been collecting parts for a couple of months. I

night. Bubble washing takes days .. not to mention the potential for oxidizing the fuel. Sounds like a commercial, no? Give stir-washing a try. Tom - Original Message - From: Will Kelleher To: biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 1

Re: [Biofuel] Tanks for storing Biodiesel

Yes, BD destroys rubber. I was bubble washing a test batch a few weeks ago and i used a rubber band to tie a weight to the end of the bubble tube. I removed the rubber band and let it sit in the sink and a few days later it was dissolved! Very funny to see, unless of course it's your fuel line...

Re: [Biofuel] water-fuel system

Hello,I always thought it would be really cool to power an internal combustion engine with hydrogen derived from electrolysis powered by the engine itself, but doesn't it take more energy to split the hydrogen/oxygen that the hydrogen is able to produce when combusted? I guess that's why this

Re: [Biofuel] Worldwide oil consumption seen soaring

Everyone,The only reasonable solution to the energy crisis is solar! It's free and basically infinite. All we have to do is develop some better solar cells and batteries (or those new capacitors that everyone is talking about) to power our electric engines! Will KOn 6/26/06, Mike Redler [EMAIL

Re: [Biofuel] Tanks for storing Biodiesel

Tom,I know that some drum manufacturors sell 55 gallon steel drums with an epoxy lining. This could be the case with your methanol drum. I don't think the biodiesel will dissolve the epoxy, but I don't know for sure. Hope that helps. Will KelleherOn 6/18/06, Thomas Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

[biofuel] Washing technique

I'm looking for an appropriate washing technique based on a 50g oil run. I'm using a 5% H3PO4 initially, then centrifuge and separate off the top layer, then I wash this with water and centrifuge again until I achieve a straw yellow colour. Not sure if a direct contact or spray effect better?
