Re: [biofuels-biz] wvo

wvo already has a market in most parts of the world. adding demand for biodiesel production will soon erode whatever price advantage over vvo it might have today.  What is the WVO market? In the UK this market is in decline because of stricter aniamal feeds regulation.   my plant is not capable of transesterifying wvo, unless it's treated  previously, and cannot do the acid/base reaction the plant was really designed to do the base reaction, very reliably (temp and pressure). Is this because it's not made of stainless steel components?   palm and coco oils are presently selling for u$s 200 a ton, refined. and the world vvo glut continues, and is projected to remain so for at least five more years. This is great if you live in Malaysia or can buy in 1000's of tonnes.   as edison said after doing 10'000 experiments before he finally made a working bulb: 'i did not fail 10'000 times trying to make an electric bulb. actually, i discovered 10'000 ways how NOT to make one' How come those guys in Florida are using WVO? Bet they made a few gallons of MUD (Messed Up Diesel) in the process of getting it right!   using heavily used wvo, in my opinion, is one way NOT to make biodiesel. This is because of the area you live/work in ...... not relevent to everybody on the list, particularly us in the UK.
