you can play in the big time, Ha!
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html Tells you how to do it and
also how to get started. Start at the top in order to get the gist of the
process before moving onto full sized batches. If you don't understand why
right now, you will.
Do not cut corners on good equipment either. Get a good electronic scale and
method of meassuring PH ( I prefer an electronic PH meter). You will need
other thigs also: 99%pure methanol, Naoh or KOH as a catalyst. Isopropyl
alcohol ( I use 99% from a pharmacy but apparently the rubbing stuff at 70%
works.) Anyway, you get the idea. There are other things you will need as
part of the set-up costs. The reactor system you decide on should be
fumeless (no escaping methoxide fumes during processing). There are examples
at the link above. Another consideration is the size reactor and wash system
that will serve your needs. Things to consider.

Subject: [Biofuel] learning and connecting in the eco-fuels ind.
Hiya.
My name is Yossi and I live in Vancouver. I am interested in getting
involved in the bio-deisel industry. My strengths and experience
include, networking, marketing, organizing and Co-operating.
Specifically, I am interested in helping to produce and distribute
bio-diesel in Vancouver, BC and learning as much as I can about the
process and business of it. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.
Eventually, I hope to get funding for something like this or something
related. I am currently involved with the Vancouver Re-newable Energy
Co-op who are presently concentrated on Solar, but I think I would
like to go more the eco-fuels route.
I also have a vested interest in biodiesel. I have a big, very useful
deisel van, Betsy, who is dying get some vegi oil into her. She
already has two tanks with a switch, but I am not a mechanic so I need
some help to complete the work and get her running clean and smelling
like a chip truck. If anyone knows someone who can help me, I'd be
grateful. Thanksh. I can also donate cargo service (ie picking up
waste oil)
Yossi. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 604 254 0009. 604 779 8807.
Have a great day.
