I am interested injoioning youon the book writing venture
I am already working on a book on bio- fuels but have yet not tied up with
anyone. If you are interested please let me know.I have authered 4 books
which are running as best sellers in India for last 17 years

Does anyone have experience in processing feedstocks with very high
free fatty acid content (up to 85% w/w)?
Also, any information as to the relevance of acid value of
feedstock for biodiesel? The two feedstocks that I have available
have acid values of 93.6 and 8.1 respectively.
All,
I would be glad if anyone could help me.
What is the porcentage of Ethanol and OHK that you are using to
transesterificate?
Do you use vegetal and solid fat too? What is the process diference?
Do you do it in Batchs?
How i the reaction temperature? How do you supply heat?
Do you use
Check out work done by Canakci and Van Gerpen. I'm trying out their ideas,
but finding it difficult to get good results. Also, an acid value of 1mg
KOH/g = 0.5 % FFA. They identiified water formation in the acid stage as the
inhibiting part of the reaction, which is where Alek's 'foolproof'
It's a bit difficult to say that acid/base catalysis falls
down, whether it be the ambient procedure as presented by Aleks
Kac or a HTP industrial procedure.
Most of what industry achieves under high pressure and
temperature can be achieved at STP by conducting the reaction
over prolonged
I am able to source large quantities of the high ffa feedstock (FFA
85%), however initial miniature tests (1 litre batches using Aleks'
two stage Acid/Base method) have proved unsuccessful.
Would the same process, under high Temperature/Pressure, be
sufficient to convert feedstocks of this
Yes. HTP is required to obtain high esterification conversion on
such material. I would suggest that you seek out your nearest
college's chemistry department head and/or chemical engineering
department to determine exactly what ballpark you will be in
relative to pressure and temp. They may also

Hi Craig
Keith and Ed,
It was tedious to read it as prose, but the content was interesting to
anyone who cares about either biodiesel or SVO/WVO. Good points were
made my both of you.
What I object to is the over-confident and misleading impression
given that SVO is a mature technology and a

to reports of engine usage and damage on SVO/WVO I would find most
interesting and would help to add clarity to the whole situation. Biodiesel
has been more extensively tested in 'proper' scientific tests but
I think this article highlights how critical water is to us.
While we may think fuel (liquid energy sources) are important it pales
beside water.
Currently large areas of Australia are experiencing drought conditions, and
there will be insufficient irrigation water for a significant number of

I've had my fill of cracking my head or my knees in small cars, and I have a
growing family that even now is pushing the limits of the cars we have. Do
you know if the BJ60's are DI or IDI?

Agreeing with what you're saying, but taking it a bit further, I think the areas
of alternative energy sourcing and ensuring clean water supply for human use are
not unrelated. Waste treatment and recycling are critical areas perhaps
somewhat previously inadequately linked to issues of energy

Why isn't hydrofracturing tried before drilling the well deeper, to open up
crevices in the rock to draw from a wider area, if there is already some flow
