From JtF:" with a creamy white layer sandwiched between water and biodiesel, it's not quality fuel and your process needs improvement. Either you've used too much catalyst and made soap (better titration), or a poor conversion has left you with half-processed mono- and diglycerides, fuel
If you are after the suspended particles of water primarily, this link has "socks" that absorb water but not oil. Maybe if the suspended stuff was absorbed with something like these, heat and vacuum in much smaller quantities could be used to finish the task.

Just search biodiesel, it has a bout a day and a
half to run. You won't be able to miss it.

From all that I see on JtF, the normal, 1/2 hp pumps are not large enough to do 100 L batches. But finding a pump that has larger than 1" outlets seems to be alluding me. I probably knew this at one time, but does more HP make more capacity, ergo sufficiency to do 100 L and larger batches?I
After being turned away by several Asian restaurants to collect their oil, I tried a different tact. I contacted some of the people that collect the stuff and process it. There were a couple of interesting things I found out. The most telling thing I found is just how arrogant some of these
"I have some respect for Bin Laden. He's a really dazzling strategist, he hasn't put a foot wrong yet. And he's not a liar or a cheat."Keith, I had a feeling that I might be hitting a nerve with someone, but it was already sent. Can I substitute "Darth Vader" or "Satan Incarnate?" in
No problem...what's BioK?FWIW, I really don't feel myself on the antibiotics - my digestion is fouled up.It is clearly not infected I wonder it I can stop them? Conventional wisdom is that once you start a regimen of antibiotics, you finish them. If you stop in mid-regimen, you run the risk of
Senator Ducheny, the chairperson of the of the Senate Trans Committee, is an intelligent and caring person. I have worked with her on previous occasions trying to make meaningfull changes to the smog check program. My call to her is as yet unanswered, but I am sure she has home brewers interests
Being in the auto repair and maintenance business, I have access tolarge quantities of waste oil. I keep the automatic transmission fluid seperate, filter it and run it in my diesel. Runs well, little bit more power, little better mileage. But, it has red dye in it. Hope they don't ever stop me.
I am just about to do my first small batch of work, as per JtF, so by no means do I consider myself expert. As I have been putting my plan together, I quickly found out that someone or some company makes a living picking up,rendering and selling WVO as animal feed. That said, I decided early on to
As I have been building my biodiesel plans, other interesting ideas and plans are popping up. The most recent is the opportunity to acquire at a fraction of it's "worth" a hydrogen generating system. I wuill be going to the archives as soon as I get this sent, but am wondering what can be said
I believe pool acid is fuming hydrochloric acid.
They may also sell sulfuric, but the mainstream
juice is HCL, and not very pure, at that. An easy
source of the chlorine for the disinfectant. Greg Kelly

When the phosphoric acid disassociates the glycerine
into it's component ions, is it the move in the pH or
is it the strong acid, a combination, or the
particular ions (phosphate and such) that brings this
about. Anybody?

You mean I can't just do like Google? No wonder I'm not having any luck! No substitute for tunnel vision, eh? It just seems like a waste to simply flush anything that may have a use. Is anybody willing to talk about the ammonia process to make the mulch additive? Greg
I am very interested in finding a use for the glycerine made by the reaction. I don't need that much soap and the local companies I have called have not been interested. The idea of using ammonia to make potassium and ammonium phosphate. I am having a time getting a handle on the searches in the
I am wondering about where to start my search for places to get my WVO when I am ready for it. With Italian, Mexican and Asian restaraunts in abundance, in addition to the usual burger joints, which is likely to produce a better product? I did some scrolling through the archives, but apparently
Even though it seemed like the newbie was being chastised, I found the reply VERY usefull. It answered several questions that have come into my mind since I began this sojourn a couple of weeks ago. At the risk of also getting chewed, my question has to do with keeping the mixture up to temp while
