RE: [biofuels-biz] Biodiesel Production Units

2003-07-18 Thread James Slayden

Here is another one:

http://www.superiorprocesstech.com/

It really depends on what your looking for.  Small, mid, or large
production.  As what's been said before, a small production unit can be
cheaply made, by you.  Most of the mid solutions that are out seem to be
skid or container types up to ~500K.  And the large production facilities
are using industrial plant builders at a very high cost.  Todd will be
putting out a whitepaper on a small 2 stage acid/base plant sometime in
the near future on JTF.  I believe that smallish (ie. under 1000gpd)
highly distributed plants are the way to go. Something akin to a city or
area plant depending on feedstock availability.

The scaling of BD production to a certain point really does simplify
things, all the way from feedstock sourcing, production, to co-products
reclaimation, and wastewater recycling.  But as a point to show here, I
make single stage batchs in 5 gal buckets 20 gal's at a time (looking to
build a 55 gal drum processor soon).  From that experience I would say
that if your going to do over 10 gal's at a time, it's best to go with a
larger processor, wash tank, etc system.  I kinda came up with a formula
for doubling and moving up to a larger processor and various gallon
intervals.  Kinda like 10 gal = 5 gal bucket processing, 20-40 gal = 35 -
55 gal drum processing, 100 gal, 200 gal, 400 gal, 1000 gal, 2000
gal, etc ..  You get the picture.

RE: [biofuels-biz] Biodiesel Production Units

Here is another one:

http://www.superiorprocesstech.com/

Already covered in the link I gave:

Biodiesel technology
http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_supply.html#tech

As are Winnie's two refs.

It really depends on what your looking for.  Small, mid, or large
production.  As what's been said before, a small production unit can be
cheaply made, by you.  Most of the mid solutions that are out seem to be
skid or container types up to ~500K.  And the large production facilities

Oh, will he be? News on me (on whom it depends), but good news, I expect.

James, you don't need a special processor for the acid-base process, 
any processor will do. I suppose you could optimize a processor for 
acid-base, but I'm not sure how, nor why. A 5 gal bucket'll do just 
fine.

Nothing special about two-stage processes as far as processors are 
concerned - you switch it off, you wait, maybe you drain something or 
maybe not, you switch it on again. Nor about acid-base: you add a 
catalyst each time, what does the processor care what catalyst it is? 
And you have to heat the stuff each time, as with all processes 
(well, nearly all).

This is what the acid-base process page says:

Equipment

A bottom-drained reactor vessel is best, closed on top. Tall, narrow 
containers work better than wide, shallow ones. Use a circulating 
pump for mixing rather than a mechanical stirrer. The pump should 
take the mixture from near the bottom of the reactor and return it 
via the top, to splash down on the surface. For a 35-litre reactor, a 
100-W washing-machine pump will do, along with a 1.5kW 
washing-machine immersion heater to heat the mixture (get a heater 
that's coated with stainless steel). You could use a thermostat to 
control the temperature, but they're expensive: just use a 
thermometer and switch on the heater as required.

- From The FOOLPROOF way to make biodiesel
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_aleksnew.html

That's just general information about processors, nothing specific to 
the acid-base process. Pumps need less power than stirrers for the 
same effect. The glycerine-draining part in the second stage is 
optional, as it says: If your reactor allows for it... A 
bottom-drained reactor vessel, closed on top, is best for any 
process, but not essential, and nor is it for the acid-base process.

Re: [biofuels-biz] Biodiesel Production Units

2003-07-18 Thread Appal Energy

 Todd will be
 putting out a whitepaper on a small 2 stage acid/base plant sometime in
 the near future on JTF.

 Oh, will he be? News on me (on whom it depends), but good news, I expect.

I believe it was placed in the context of it could be placed at JTF for
everyone to view if such were amenable. The thought was vocalized after a
question was posed along the lines of where can I buy a processor. My
response was after someone posted an extremely overpriced plastic bucket and
motor at Yahoo Biodiesel, with my thoughts being why should anyone put
themselves in a position of being shaken down when they can do the same
thing for pennies on the dollar?

None the less, that's the entire purpose of what's being done here -
solidifying a cookie cutter process and a 330 - 500 gpd system that can meet
any state, federal and local EPA regs on all accounts (VOCs, waste water,
MeOH recovery, glycerol disposal, etc.) all on a shoestring budget - then
publish it on the web and let all those with a little moxy reproduce it in
their own locals.

That's the best way to get this to mushroom as fast as it needs to. The
whole concept of capitalistic proprietary knowledge will only slow that
growth down or permanently stunt it.

 James, you don't need a special processor for the acid-base process,
 any processor will do. I suppose you could optimize a processor for
 acid-base, but I'm not sure how, nor why. A 5 gal bucket'll do just
 fine.

Sure don't. But going acid/base does slow production down a bit, making it
necessary to give some thought to enlarging a system or doubling the number
of reactors (1 acid, 1 base) if the system is already at or near max output.
