Marc, Matti,
Thats right, why don't they... and when the reactor is old and unusable
already they can just fill it up with molten glass and let it stand there
buried. Nice disposal technique ofcourse its location would have to be in
granite or a place far away from ground water sources.

I bubble washed the methyl ester after removing the glycerine layer. Funny
thing is the water turned really white and the level of my ME really
thinned after 12 hours of bubble washing. The water volume i used was 100%
of the ME and i forgot to add the acid. Why did the ME yeild
Jan,
Sorry for the late reply. Did not see your question at the bottom before.
Since we produce biodiesel from different oil sources, these differences
could give different properties. Like coconut has better wintering
properties. Our vegetable oil here is mainly from coconut so thats it. If
Hi all,
I think when you hydrogenate the glycerine, it becomes a wax. Can someone
check on this. Anyone know where to get some hydrogen to test this?

Anyone producing biodiesel in economical quantity? Maybe we can set up an

Hanns,
The amount of liquid in the coconut deminishes as time goes by. Some of it
becomes part of the meat which will be the copra. But there is still
some liquid in a mature coconut. Processes oil by hand yields a very small
amount of oil, around 20 to 25 % if you are lucky(tried this in

I agree with Harmon. There should be distributed food production and not a
centralized production of food for the world. Right now WTO is almost a
reality. Excess food from the US(which usually is destroyed rather than
sold to maintain the price) can be sold elsewhere at a fraction of the cost
