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
