[Biofuel] FFA Dark bio
Hi All, I apologize to you guys,it is my mistake,the stuff is not any oil,but residues from refining oils in the process called degumming,where the oils are treated with water solution of lye and the resulting soaps are treated with acid to recover the FFA`s.Generally it is FFA with some oil in and a lot of lipids and any organic matter diluted in the source oil.But as far as I am sure that FFA`s are good stuff to make BD in a simple esterification process with a proper technology I am doing my best to put it back in the nature,where it came from.What really bothers me is that when we treat the glyc from the bottom of the reactors,the recovered FFA is dark colored!So I am going to experiment around:I will produce soap from a virgin refined oil and treat it with acid to produce a pure FFA to see if it is also dark.Wish me luck! By the way,we have offers for high acidic oils from Brazil,no idea about the origin,maybe refining residues too? Regards Ross Be a better Globetrotter.

[Biofuel] FFA decolorization
Hi All, I have a lot of high acidic /~60%FFA/ oil and had no problem to esterify it, but the BD is the same dark color as the source FFA`s and I am desperately trying to bleach it without any success.I`v already tested bentonite - no result.Has anyone any idea how to lighten the BD?

[Biofuel] FFA decolorization
Hi all, Keith,the quality is not a question,according to my NIR the BD is 99.2% esters - the foolproof method - acid stage and 2 alkaline stages with glycerin removal between ,but I am supplying a close circle of friends with fuel and the people asking me What is that black sh.t you are producing? Thanks,Mr Montenegro,the activated carbon is my last mean,I somehow kept the hope that I solve the problem with some bleaching agent since boiling the BD sounds no good to me/polymerization!/ and filtering is OK with 5 micron in the end of the line.

[Biofuel] Process details
Hi Joe,HI all, I have found a cheap alternative for the vacuum pumps.In the scrap yard you can find a vacuum amplifier from diesel Peugeot or maybe from another car-the diesels usually need an amplifier to increase the force to the break discs-gasoline engines take the vacuum from the air inlet.Connecting an electric motor to the unit to drive and connecting with appropriate pipes to the vessel where the condenser is plumbed will help to save energy.One point more-leave as less room in the vessel to be vacuumed as possible since the debit is not that mach.The unit has a self-sufficient lubricating chamber and the rest is question of RPM`s. Joe,I use both pump and mix washing but lately-only mix and I invented a kind of trick to shorten the settling time.Since I use hot water(35-45 degrees C),after mixing for 5 min at high speed I let it settle for 15 min,when the BD is almost separated with some emulsion still separating.I pump the emulsion in a different tank to settle-it is 85-90% water-and start the next wash.When the BD in the second tank accumulates,I give it another wash and let it dry under vacuum at 60 deg C.But this procedure is taken when I am not in a hurry,usually I use a marine fuel separator to avoid any settling times. My batches are 800l four-five times per week,depending of the supply with row sunflower oil and one batch WVO per 10 days for fuel for my burner. Actually I somehow lost interest for the one-stage process it is a kind of routine and now I try to work out the co-solvent process-if it works just imagine a reaction completed within 5 min!If it works...

[Biofuel] two stage proccess... doubts
Just an addition: In my early batches I was so curious how the BD will affect the engine I did that test-after the third wash the fuel was something like Fanta orange,with lot of water dispersed within,but I pour it in the tank.My Renault 11 was just fine.Then I heated the BD to dewater it and what I found?The MPG raised and some loss of power appeared(5-8%).The same BD with water was better fuel than without water.The mean problem is that the water does not stays dispersed!I recall in the early `80 there was a Russian invention how to mix gasoline with water by means of piezo-quartz(ultrasonic frequency)submerged in the tank,but all I can remember is only the idea!Nowadays I read somewhere someone was trying to rich the same effect by azeothrop agents. __ Do You Yahoo!?

[Biofuel] two stage proccess... doubts
Hi Mike,Hi Joe, I am completely agree with you on point one,Mike,I`v experienced it on my own neck.Point two-you are right about silica,but I gave it up-it is a mess when it comes to recovering the stuff;nevertheless it is useful to absorb any water content leftover,just pump it trough the vessel with silica long enough. Point 3 -heating always helps! Point 4 -I am not American,I dint know what ISA means-isopropil alcohol? Point 5 -I closed the circle too-I am using a small Rielo burner/3l/h/8bar/ to heat everything including the room with two SS pipes spiraling around the flame for heat exchange-the first is circulating oil for higher temp/distilling glycerin/ and the second is with water for heating all vessels.Did I mentioned that I put rock wool insulation everywhere. There is one more thing-I made the reactor and the dryer airtight, capable of vacuum and pressure, so I can work at temp well over 70 degrees C and put under vacuum when evaporating is necessary (and not to worry about any methanol fumes!). I started researching the so-cold co-solvent processing with tetrahydrofuran-I`ll tell you guys,it is an expensive stuff!The only plus is that it can be recovered almost completely.I`ll keep you informed how far I am trough. I will fully support the idea to co-experimenting and sharing the results-just tell me what I can do to help! Good luck to everyone! Rumen __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Biofuel] Pump size
Hi Joe,Hi Jim, My reactor is pump mixed too,but I am using two pumps of different types-one SS from the food brand and the other is clear water-cast iron case and turbine.As far I am controlling carefully the both and I didn't`t noticed any changes,the pumps are in fine condition.BTW,the pumps are capable of recirculating the volume of the R 20-22 times in an hour and the BD is prima!I tried for comparison injecting the MeOH in the inlet and to pore slowly on the top and did not noticed any diff in the BD-it is always OK.It seems that the temp and agitation are what counts.

[Biofuel] Liquid-liquid separator
Hi,all, Hi,Juan, Hi,Pieter, Hi,Mike, The purpose of the fuel purificators/l-l separators/ is to separate the WATER and any contaminants in the fuels/heavy fuels/.They are commonly used in the ships,the manufacturers are well known companies as Alfa Laval,Sultzer and so long.Juan,I'm sure that you can find the machinery in the near-by ship yard.Piet,you are living where the biggest port is(Euro-port-R-dam)and there won`t be a problem to find fuel separator in the scrap yards. It is best to separate impurities and the water from the WVO,but it is not all.You can use it to separate the glyc after completing the primary reaction,you don't have to wait the water to settle out by washing the BD-just put the emulsion in the separator and voila!So you can see how a simple machine can speed up the technology,the batch can be ready within a day. Ask friends and sailors as I did,somebody will guide you to the source. Best, Rumen __ Yahoo!

[Biofuel] Liquid-liquid separator
Hi,all, Thank you,Mike,for the e-mail of Mr Hinman,I will try to contact him for more info. Hi,Lee, Couple a days ago I heard about this fuel-cleaning system and make some calls to some friends of mine for inquiry.It seems this kind of separators are commonly used in the ships,the fuel does not com well with the see water together.As I`v been told,every ship is equipped at least with 2 separators,especially in the navy,but in the commercial fleet too. Today I have some responds-I found one capable of purifying 3,3 t/h mazut and the offer is $3500-second hand of course,3,7 kW/1400 RPM.Since the oil is with lower density,the rate can be increased,and I am going to switch an inverter to the motor,what gives me the opportunity to increase the RPM`s 6 times.I should see the specifications of the bearings and replace them if they are not suitable. Yes,Michael,this is the construction-one inlet,two outlets,exactly as you described it.The one,with the price was in the navy arsenal in Varna,the biggest port in Bulgaria.It is Russian made,and I am still waiting for more offers in Monday to come.I just wonder why,if this machines are so wide spread,we did not have used it before? To everyone interested:Search the maintenance facilities of the navy and the ships yards,there should be The Separator! I am still concerning about the use;I imagine this way: WVO-seprtr/dewatering/-reactor-seprtr/glyc out/-washing-seprtr/dewatering/-finished BD.Am I somewhere wrong with the sequence?

Dear Friends, As I wrote, there are not viruses for Linux. In the earliest `80 there were a couple of exploits ( not viruses!), but they dyed soon, when the kernel has changed. The creation of a virus is a complicate process, one has to know the exact target, what is almost impossible with the variety of kernels in the comps of the net. Linux is quickly evolving OS and this is understandable - say 2000 programmers in Richmond can not lead competition with 2 000 000 worldwide.

[Biofuel] New BD instalation
Dear Friends, Today I started assembling a new BD batch production installation down here in Tryavna, Bulgaria.The purpose is to supply the local bakery with eco fuel. I`v got everything I need as equipment and vessels, so it will be functional within two weeks. Here is the general idea: The feedstock will be neat sunflower oil (an oil refinery is a part of the company I am working for) and the process will be The FOOLPROOF method of St Alex Kac (Got bless him!).And here it goes: Filtered oil trough transportation pump flows into the drying vessel (dryer), where is heated to 600 C, the water is separated and drained from the cone bottom, then under vacuum is circulated with pump trough container, filled with silica gel to remove any water content remaining. Next step the same circulating pump (turbine) is transferring the oil into the reactor, where the acid stage is processed turbine pump mixing adding methanol H2SO4 point by point according to Alex receipt. After processing is over, the oil is transferred into storage tank for settling. In the mean time the dryer is preparing batch #2, which goes the same way. The next day, after settling overnight, starts the second, base stage (batch #2 is still in the reactor). After processing batch #2 goes into storage tank #2 and batch #1 starts processing. Notice: the dryer is preparing another batch meanwhile. Next day: Batch #1 goes into washing vessel #1, equipped for mist and mix washing (there are some references about oxidation of esters by aeration, so I am going to avoid bubble washing). The tank is heated to 350C (propane burners).Drained water is collected and the BD goes to wash tank #2, while batch # 2 starts first wash and the dryer and the reactor are preparing batches # 3 and 4. Eventually, after wash tank #3 the BD goes to the dryer again, where is heated to 450C paces trough silica gel and is filtered in 5 micron filter. Next station lorry`s tanks. Titration is made with samples, taken from the reactor, using digital PH indicator. Unfortunately, the only supply of NaOH is carbonated, so I am going to increase the amount by 25% ( 3.1 x 1.25 = 3.875 g ~ 3.9 g/l). All vessels are stainless steel, around 1100 l each, thermo insulated, propane/immersion heaters, digital thermostats, cone bottom. Pipes are stainless steel, so are the valves. The circulation pumps are stainless steel, turbine, TEFT 3p motors, made in the USSR. The transportation pump is stainless steel, gear, for both directions. The meth is recovered from the BD in the reactor (heating vacuum) and from the glycerin after treating with phosphoric acid. The condenser is 1 inch stainless steel spiral. All equipment origins from a formal dough mixing system. I presume the batches will be 800 l oil. Dear Friends, dear Keith, I will be REALY glad to have your comments and advices! And I have two questions to all: Have you any opinion about concentrated aqueous catalyst ( www.BiodieselGear.com)? Can anyone explain me how could I make paper chromatography test of the BD (the kind of solutions and how to read the results)?
