We are setting up a small co-op with a large automated reactor, etc. We would like to wash diesel without using water. Any home-made or even off the shelf...
... They could be used to clean the WVO and to get the last of the glycerine out of the finished biodiesel. That's exactly what I have in mind. What I was...
... There are, as far as I can tell, two waterless wash methods. One is to use a solid like magnesol to precipitate the glycerine. It costs money, of course,...
Just keep thinking "Alfa-Laval" David, and your dreams will be realized ;-) That is exactly what you are looking for in regards to Biodiesel. Here is a good...
Bill, We are a dry washing/waterless Yahoo group with lots of info: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/biodieselhouston/ William &Jacquilla Gillette...
The third possibility is the Falling Film evaporator. Search the archives for "falling film". There is a wealth of information there. Luther KB5QHU Alma,...
Greetings I am running on the old 20% calculation for my methanol. I was wondering if anyone was doing anything different?? I know my WVO is completly...
Remember too that if you use magnesol you are creating another waste stream to have to deal with. If you are just getting into this, you have to figure out...
Andrew went down this path. Using the 80:20 method and testing each batch with the 3:27 test, he was able to reduce his methanol use to the level after which...
Luther, Terri, Dave, and I last night successfully tested my prototype Thin Man falling film evaporator (FFE) based on David Barclay's FFE concept on biodiesel...
I have done the 3:27, typically I do not unles there was some strange varriation, such as really high or really low titration values. So far my results have...
I think it may be feedstock-specific, so you'd be wise to go down the path of reduce and test. As soon as I finish up the FFE I'm going to go down that path...
How do you currently recover your methanol, I have seen a couple varriations, just currious. Tim ... the path of reduce and test. As soon as I finish up the...
... Terri, Dave, and I last night successfully tested my prototype Thin Man falling film evaporator (FFE) based on David Barclay's FFE concept on biodiesel and...
I use my pot still, Tank Grrl, to recover methanol from glycerol. I'm working on building/testing a falling film evaporator (code name Thin Man) to recovery...
Just a reminder that there are only a few days left to pre-register for Local Biodiesel Conference 2007. Walk-up registration will most likely be available,...
Thank you very much for your response, Tilly, and I apologize for the tardy reply: been away from the board for a while. I got the 5.5g KOH amount from the...
I've been playing with chemical amounts, times and temps etc trying to get the perfect conversion on my appleseed. My last two batches were perfect so I'm...
Congratulations, Ed, and thank you for sharing your recipe for success. I see you're using 25% methanol. Have you experimented with a lower percentage? Do you...
it need to be liquid? do i need bulk isoprop???how ever it is spelled for the mix or is it for the titration test?wheres a good place to find appleseed mixing...
Go to http://biodieselcommunity.org for titration instructions, appleseed instructions, and one liter batch instructions. You use isopropyl alcohol for your...
hi there i notice you are running the same engine i am but i can run a filter for two to three months no problem [after it cleaned the system out] i have run...

thanks maud that's a great website!!! one more thing do i put the 7.8 koh in my settling tank as a base when do i indroduce the koh in the mix? and how if it...
Derek, I'm not really sure I understand your question. When I say 7.8 is your base, that means that you add your titration value to 7.8 after you titrate your...
