in The Netherlands, so 'we' is indeed Europe. I read a lot in this newsgroup 
because it's very interresting. I've got a friend in Ghana who has some land 
there and doesn't know what to do with it. I was thinking to set up a 
palmtree plantage but I wasn't sure if this could be used for 
biodieselnow I know:) Thanks

Dear Pros,

How about a world map with growing seasons, rainfall etc.? Have I missed

Hello Chris and Frans and other listeners ,
My question is a little bit different ;

If you would make a trip around the world and seasons in each country

;

what are the chances for the whole year available ' fresh ' oils which



countries should you go and which time of the year ( I assume always
'fresh' crop ) .Eg if you start in Europe - in June for rapeseed oil
where would you go and when for palm oil  or is there a chance to get
one kind of oil in different continents all time from fresh crop ?

Julian , Poland


Hello Frans,

Palm oil is great for biodiesel.  I guess it depends which 'we' you
are talking about.  The 'we' that are in Brazil and other southern
areas use palm oil; the 'we' that lives in US use soy oil because

that

is what we grow here.  This time the 'we' is ADM I am afraid.  In
Europe, the 'we' have access to rapeseed, because that is what is
grown there.  The use of pronouns is so interesting in an
international list such as this one.  As always, the answer is on a
table on the JTF website.  Hope that helps.

The esteemed Frans van Dortmont wrote:


On the discussion which oil is best;

Why do we use so much soy oil rape seed oil instead of palmoil.
Everywhere is see that palmoil is best efficient way to produce oil.



Is it not good for making biodiesel?

[Biofuel] Re: Magnasol

2005-04-25 Thread Appal Energy



You might want to send these messages straight forward, rather than as 
attachments. Saves having to filter it through a secondary server first and 
reduces the risk of others picking up viruses.


As for Magnesol, your tentative results and presumptions are interesting.

Theoretically, Magnesol is essentially little more than a magnet, a 
synthetically manufactured magnesium sillicate with receptor sights that 
attract polar compounds. In practice it is supposed to remove these 
compounds from fryer oil giving it a longer life cycle before changing. This 
should mean fewer FFAs in WVOs that are turned into biodiesel.


In the biodiesel industry Magnesol is being experimented with and perhaps 
touted as a dry filtration method that will remove polar soaps, FFAs, 
residual glycerides, etc., yielding a fuel that meets ASTM D-6751 without 
the use of water filtration and fuel finishing other than filtering out the 
Magnesol.


About all we can say at the moment is that 100#s of Magnesol are supposed to 
land on our dock somtime by week's end. Our intent is to experiment with it 
as a dry filter in lieu of water. Perhaps it wouldn't be too difficult to 
pass some degraded oil through a small amount first and see if your results 
can be duplicated or not.


Theoretically, what you're describing shouldn't happen. But theory and 
reality are often two different monsters.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to make a batch of biodiesel with some WVO that I learned has 
been treated will something called Magnasol. This substance seems to 
inhibits the WVO from transesterifing by causing the NaOH to produce a 
stringy polymer like substance in the oil. The more NaOH you put in, the 
more stringy polymer like substance you get. Catch 22. The last batch of 
WVO I had was heavily contaminated with water that it was unusable. If 
anyone has information about Magnasol  how to deal with it, please pass 
it along. I currently have 20 gallons of WVO that I'd like to use for 
biodiesel.

getting a bad rap because of  double bond fears. but most of the soy oil I 
get is partally hydrogenated already which breaks the double bond. Then 
since this oil was used mostly to fry up some kind of meat it is 1/2 to 1/3 
saturated fat with no double bonds. Just to be on the safe side I have been 
blending in my soy-oil with other oils that have lower IV numbers like

Hi all you fine people.
I have been reading your input for about two months now and am about ready

I am confused about which Used Vegetable Oil is best to produce biodiesel?
It seems that I have read something BAD about every oil I know of, 
especially Soy.

Which UVO should I be looking for for my biodiesel?

[Biofuel] hydrogen fire place

2005-04-25 Thread Alt.EnergyNetwork



Hi all,
This is interesting - a hydrogen fireplace. Uses standard 
electrolysis of water.
You still have to use electricity for it to work so it is definately 
not free heat but it doesn't need any venting so it can be easily installed.
Company states output at around 31,000 btu's.
It is a pretty simple idea so I expect it won't be long before quite 
a few clones will be available.
Certainly doesn't help solve the energy crisis though it will burn 
clean and has the option of adding the oxygen to the room air.

of hearth products

I would like to run a still using alcohol as the fuel
source. Where can I find information on making large
alcohol burners. I have found information on small
pocket stoves but nothing big. Seems we should be able
to run on what we make rather than buy fuel to make

That's great J.L.!

Was it a school's school bus or privately owned? Doesn't matter much, 
it proves the point either way. Why do they blind-eye biodiesel? Eg.:

And how much more energy is going to be wasted, generating all the necessary
H2?

What a joke.

If anyone want to buy the fireplace, I want to know, I have a bridge to sell

 Hi all,
 This is interesting - a hydrogen fireplace. Uses standard
 electrolysis of water.
 You still have to use electricity for it to work so it is definately
 not free heat but it doesn't need any venting so it can be easily
installed.
 Company states output at around 31,000 btu's.
 It is a pretty simple idea so I expect it won't be long before quite
 a few clones will be available.
 Certainly doesn't help solve the energy crisis though it will burn
 clean and has the option of adding the oxygen to the room air.

Re: [Biofuel] Which Oil is Best

2005-04-25 Thread Frantz DESPREZ



Do you suppose that UK developed a taste for palm oil because it was 
readily available from 'the empire'?


maybe, but then It also should be available for France.
In fact here (France, EU) you can find palm oil bars in every 
supermarket. (the most famous brand is Vegetaline for frying purpose 
(i.e. french fries). Palm oil is also used as a substitute to butter. 
Tastyless and imported but healthier. This new taste may be came from 
the last world wars when butter was rare and replaced by margarine, 
fat matter from vegetal oil. Now the main reason to use it are diet 
(cholesterol free, overheated oil non cancerogenic)  and savings 
(cheaper than butter).
Other food habits remains from wars (napoleonic: i.e.sugar from beetroot 
; WWI  II : chicoree in place of coffee...)
But in southern France olive or rapeseed oil are still spread used 
probably because of the hotest climate that already limited the use of 
butter in mediterannean countries.
I guess that the global warming will soon do the same effects in the 
northern part of France... and allow to produce palm oil in the south ;-)

   Greeting  Larry

   Dear Larry 

Think of using  the  fuel  gel  made using cellulose
powder  or   wood charcoal carbon powder  for  making fuel from  
alcohol . Several  important information are available  from the old
list archives of this group. It is not very clear  whether  you want
use the  fuel  for   distillation of  ethanol  .Still for what purpose
?
 
 See  here  for  information for  the use of  jelled  fuel  alcohol:

Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable):
http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/

 We have not done so far  any experimental  work in this field but
surely wish to start  soon .
   Some  100 000  Brazilian Real  economy is  mad possible to  be 
the  gain  due to the operation  of  the  one small  aeroplane/ year 
that   have been adopted  to use ethanolinsecticide  applications 
of  big  Brazilian soy agribusiness  the  gain compared  to the 
conventional fuel. Thus big  one become  very big and small   farmer
very poor   in the globalised economy .
But , We  are interested  to use  the  ethanol fuel  to remote
area for  cooking  using  gel and  charcoal powder , thus  making 
possible  fuel for poor too and this is very costlier too due  to
transportation in remote area.
  In  Africa , the  jelled  alcohol fuel has been found to be 
very successful one as  advocated by UN .
Any useful information  and collaborations in this project  are well 
come as we lost  the cashew apple  of 500 000  hectare  in  our small
state alone  in the north east of Brazil  all wasted  due  to the 
local market, man power cost   and fuel  problems as these are all 
like  Forest making  food and fuel  , but all lost , yet  we have 
poor  with out food
   This  natural  vitamin products  with 100 porcent waste   need to 
very  urgently be  solved  by global and local  collaborative  work
which is  our major  research  work which  has  Brazilian  research
council  aid .But the problem is very complex to solve .
We are open for any  new product , process , investment  regard to
this  natural products
   In this respect we need  more novel methods , experience in other
country too .
Instead of  food we too think of  jelled ethanol fuel too for
sustainability  for the local sustainable developments as   biomass

Supplemental oxygen is mandatory in an unvented heater in most cases. Otherwise 
the oxygen level would get very low. Most ventless heaters are cycling on their 
low oxygen sensor as a result. Ventless heaters are cheap, thus the appeal. 
They are not of much use north of say Georgia. Besides, low oxygen levels are a 
VERY BAD idea.

Use the sun or a non liquid fuel that is of lesser value.

Try a marine supply store.  Alcohol is a common fuel in the galley of
pleaure boats. We had one aboard our sailboat. They are extremely safe
(compared to propane).

Ours was a two burner model, but they also make a one burner model
also.  Ours was made by ORIGO and is sold by West Marine.

RE: [Biofuel] hydrogen fire place

2005-04-25 Thread Juan Casimiro Boveda

Hello Greg.
I fully agree with you.
A common folk could use as a heat pump a standard or reversible (cold/hot) 
air conditioner with the cold side taking heat from the environment and 
releasing it at the hot side inside the room to warm it, besides it will 
heat the room with the energy of the electrical power in a given period of 
time plus the larger amount of heat taken from outside. Of couse the 
equipment needs some defrosting cycle for places were temperatures falls 
below the water freezing point.
One important point, the AC unit should work as a heat pump with the 
compressor running to deliver the heat from outside, the ones that produces 
the heating using only electrical resistances has no use for this heat 
pumping action.
Best Regards.

 This is just way to much to contemplate, first thing in the morning.
 
 I don't drink, but, this might drive me to it.

 Um, yes, well, sorry. Try coffee (best to stir it anticlockwise).

 I think I was just cavilling at the prospect of having to debunk John
 Nicholson (biopower), not exactly difficult, but I'll probably break
 out in carbuncles or something. Won't someone else do it? Please?

 Best

Re: [Biofuel] hydrogen fire place

2005-04-25 Thread Kirk McLoren

If your electrolyzer is 50% efficient then half the power is lost. I guess they 
are thinking they can make hydrogen in the daytime and burn it at night. A 
battery and a heatpump would be enormously more efficient.

electrolysis.

Does anyone have a link with some stats?

Supplemental oxygen is mandatory in an unvented heater in most cases. Otherwise 
the oxygen level would get very low. Most ventless heaters are cycling on their 
low oxygen sensor as a result. Ventless heaters are cheap, thus the appeal. 
They are not of much use north of say Georgia. Besides, low oxygen levels are a 
VERY BAD idea.

Hi all,
This is interesting - a hydrogen fireplace. Uses standard 
electrolysis of water.
You still have to use electricity for it to work so it is definately 
not free heat but it doesn't need any venting so it can be easily installed.
Company states output at around 31,000 btu's.
It is a pretty simple idea so I expect it won't be long before quite 
a few clones will be available.
Certainly doesn't help solve the energy crisis though it will burn 
clean and has the option of adding the oxygen to the room air.
