Bobby, After the process, what should I use to test the oil so I can be sure it is ready to be used for biodiesel? Should I run it through a gas chromatograph?...
Bobby, I have found a test kit for the oil. Please review and advise. http://www.utahbiodieselsupply.com/bioprogonogokit.php Thanks, Rowland Bobby Yates Emory...
... That just looks like a test for waste vegetable oil to see if it's too broken down to use in a commercial processor. It doesn't do anything at all to tell...

This is a GREAT presentation. If I wanted to use this to show to some local government officials where I live to try and generate interest in algae as a...
Bobby The point here is that peak oil is leading the push for alternative biofuel sources, and this is causing alarming environmental impacts from palm oil....
Hi curious If you are using hexane as the solvent you can wash the recovered oil in solvent with high pH 9-10 water(you need to do some trials with diffrent pH...
try Google to find a contact for John...he is a cool dude... I don't think he would mind as long as you leave the pdf unchanged I found the link originally ......
Rowland, I do not have a ready answer for you. I would first try to burn it. A simple Aladdin lamb should do. It should be a little hard to light, but then...
David, I agree - the Utah kit just test for FFA. It might be useful, but it is only testing one thing. Rowland's virgin oil should have no FFA. Bobby ... -- ...
Rowland, Most natural vegetable oils are combinations of several oils. So there are many possibilities. Some of the research reports have an analysis of the ...
Rowland, I have no idea. Patrick on biogasoline did this. He may have left a hint in the archive: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biogasoline/join Bobby ... -- ...
Rowland, They are used to testing used oil to see if it is still usable to make biodiesel. Their tests are designed to catch soybean oil that has been used ...
Tom, I disagree - this could be a disaster in the making. These people keep talking about biofuels. They refuse to specify the ones they are talking about....
Bobby, I'm not sure what you mean when you write, "Their tests are designed to catch soybean oil that has been used too much." The reason for testing oil is to...

Hi! Anyone did ultrasonic? I'm wondering how does ultrasound break cells, will the cells look totally different before and after, i mean do they seem really...
G, I have also seen it expressed as oil that has been used too much has too much FFA. As the oil is used (heated) over and over, the percentage of FFA goes...
Qingxia, I think ultrasonics are used to increase the effectiveness of solvents. If it is working, the cell walls should be ruptured, but the cell would look ...
