I got stumped, the other day. And recently I saw a related comment. Someone asked me, where does the sodium/potassium ion go from the methoxide after the...
... No, there isn't enough acid around to bind it. Remember the "general" recipe, 3.5 g NaOH per litre of oil, plus a fitting amount to neutralize free fatty...
... [...] ... So would I, but in reality that doesn't exist or isn't where it should be from a barrier standpoint. Just look at the (per-)chlorates for sale on...

Hi, How different is the process used by home brewers vs large commercial plants? Besides the obviously larger containers, is there equipment and stratagies...
Yes and No. Depending on the design of the commercial plant, they can be done as large batch processes, several large appleseeds in a row (called a "continuous...
also, there are some other differences- a.if working with used oil ('yellow grease'- a much nastier version than what most homebrewers consider acceptable),...

I've seen commercial processors that basically are, in essence, giant appleseed processors. That is, they are large tanks that mix the oil and methoxide by...
In bigger batches, there's a better payback to using heat recovery techniques. Essentially, you use a heat exchanger to get some of the heat from the batch...
Wow. I had thought about premixing a concentrate to prevent spoilage of catalyst, but was not aware a pre-mixed anhydrous concentrate was available. Any ideas...
