Whew! For a moment there I though the Future Farmers of America
http://ffa.org/ lost their trademark colors. :)

Hi Ross
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 ,
Good going!
Then it really seems a pity to bother about the colour.
By the way, where do you get the 60% FFA
If the coloured particles (maybe with so high percent of FFA, this oil has
been used for many cicles of heating or a strong treatment, and probably it
has a high decomposition ratio) are quite small, bentonite has not capacity
to recover from the media. The carbon is better for this purposes.
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?

Hello
A little bit of coloured sustances, can make a very high coloured solution,
so if the reaction goes correctly, it must not be a problem. Try to bleach
it with activated charcoal, heating close to boiling point and adding then.
The problem is that you will need to filter it quite well to remove

with fuel and the people asking me What is that black
sh.t you are producing?
