Home Biodiesel Production Part 2
Now that we filter the oil, we should make a batch of biodiesel. And we want to show you what you do. We have now filtered oil. I have oil in a 55 gallons drum, and I’m going to put the oil in this machine. Inside this machine has the
brands that tell me different sizes, and so I will transport the oil in to use this huge behemoth. Click it, and then we can start the flow by turning the power on. I have already pre-installed this machine full of oil, but basically this suction pump would suck the oil out and put it into this machine. When the oil is in here so we are ready to get started with
batch. Remember that it takes methanol and lye, and we use a secret ingredient, we use sulfuric acid and I’ll tell you
what is in a minute.
After we have loaded our oil in this machine, it is now time to load the chemicals and everything else needed to get started. Our next is to put methanol in these quarts up here. So I’m going to climb up here, and what we are: one liter
of methanol spring, one liter of our methoxide, which is going to be our combination of sodium or potassium hydroxide, we will use potassium hydroxide in this case, and some methanol. I have some handy gauges on this site that lets me know when I get a lot of methanol I need, into the machine so I’m just going to go down here for a moment, put my methanol in the barrel, and I’m going to chug away, with a pump, so I get methanol in our machine here.
The Hypertech Diesel Programmers & Quadzilla Diesel Parts are both fully compatible with biodiesel-
