Biodiesel Processor
this is regarding making Biodiesel at home?
I am planning to buy a bio diesel processor for use at home
plz guide me which one to buy and from where
i wish to use Pongamia Pinnata oil mostly
ne guidance or sharing of expa with those devices will be greatly appreciated
Now everyone look what Nata and Ron wrote..Diametrically opposite views
thats why i hate such fora..whats with the world
u will make a girl say ‘i am a man’ one day ! phew
thanx all u American blokes for RUINING a perfectly viable and fun idea..trust u guys to make the world difficult and chaotic !
if u want to see how we do it in India..visit www.svlele.com and see how normal household stuff has been used to make inexpensive Biofuel and more
u guys really need to get out of that Yankee culture !
Both Nata and Ron are right, it can be very expensive or very cheap to make bio-diesel.
Most of the methanol is only there to disperse the NaOH so that hopefully only one or two NaOH molecules encounter any given oil molecule as the idea is for it to react with hopefully a center portion of the oil molecule cutting it in half, the NaOH forms a glycerine with the center portion and the two shorter chains are esters. The idea is to reduce the average chain length of the fuel from the 18 to 35 carbon atoms lengths found in used Vegetable Oil down to about 11 or 10 carbon atoms.
You estimate the average chain length by measuring the specific gravity and you determine when all the NaOH has finished reacting by measuring the ph with litmus paper.
The methanol is “washed” out by mixing water into the mix which causes the methanol and water to precipitate out.
Obviously, if you recover the methanol then your costs can be greatly reduced though it may take some distilling to ensure the purity of the methanol, purity is only an issue in terms of reproducibility so that you can calculate the proportions accurately, if you’re willing to do more titration tests to adjust the proportions then you may not care about the purity of the methanol.
If you use too little methanol presumably to save money, you will probably produce more glycerin by the time you’re through as each oil molecule will likely react with more NaOH molecules due to the higher concentrations which also means your yield of diesel will be much lower.
Also the quality of the original oil affects how much additional processing must be done to make it acceptable as bio-diesel. It’s quite possible that two different people would’ve experienced very different economics while experimenting with bio-diesel at home.
