Biodiesel's fuel features

Power: one of the major advantages is the fact that it can be used in existing engines and fuel injection equipment (no modification required) without negative impact to operating performance.

Fuel availability/economy: virtually the same MPG rating as petrodiesel and the only alternative fuel for heavyweight vehicles requiring no special dispensing and storage equipment. And today it is cheaper than the "dinofuel".

Production/Refining: can be done at home (with wasted veggie oil, UCO) and at farms (with virgin crude oils from seeds), being the only alternative fuel that can boast of a zero total emissions production facility. By selling the simultaneously produced glycerol, the cost of BIODIESEL is basically the same cost of the oil used to make it.

Storage: readily blends and stays blended with petrodiesel so it can be stored and dispensed wherever diesel is stored or sold.

Combustibility/Safety: biodiesel has a very high flash point (300°F) making it one of the safest of all alternative fuels.

Lubricity: biodiesel is the only alternative fuel that can actually extend engine life because of its superior lubricating and cleaning properties. The present "low sulfur" diesel fuel is badly wearing the injection pumps of not protected diesel engines. (You should add biodiesel to the present commercial "dinofuel")

Environmental Impact: the only renewable alternative diesel fuel that actually reduces a major greenhouse gas components in the atmosphere . The use of biodiesel will also reduce the following emissions:

carbon monoxide

ozone-forming-hydrocarbons

hazardous diesel particulate

acid rain-causing sulfur dioxide

lifecycle carbon dioxide

What is "Biodiesel"

Biodiesel is a completely natural, renewable fuel applicable in any situation where conventional petroleum diesel is used. No modifications on engine are needed.

Even though "diesel" is part of its name, there are no petroleum or other fossil fuels in biodiesel. Biodiesel is 100% vegetable oil based. From new or used cooking oil too. By recycling WVO, we prevent pollution of the city water.

This environment-friendly fuel reduces tailpipe emissions, visible smoke and noxious odors. Can also be used in a blends with conventional diesel while still achieving substantial reductions in emissions.

** Technically, biodiesel is Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME). It is formed by replacing the glycerol with lighter methanol from each triglyceride molecule of veggie oil. Once the glycerol is removed from the oil, the remaining molecules are, to a diesel engine, similar to petroleum diesel fuel. Basis is> oil + methanol = biodiesel + glycerol

But there are some notable differences. The biodiesel molecules are very simple hydrocarbon chains, containing no sulfur, ring molecules, nor aromatics associated with fossil fuels.

Biodiesel is made up of almost 10% oxygen, making it a naturally "oxygenated" fuel.

Industrial grade, easy-to-use machinery for BIODIESEL manufacturing

Get the best base reaction yield (98-99%) with our pressurized high temperature protocol. W/O any
effluents, it can process crude oils, saves methanol, catalyst and reaction time (reducing thus the total
reaction cost)

dot

In one single step, will process any veggie oil or liquid yellow grease with up to 6% FFA's. The full separation
biodiesel-glycerol is by hot and pressurized gravity settling.

*** Biodiesel Quality control trough Viscosity & Specific Gravity (based on report JAOCS,Vol 72-11, 1995) -> FREE download here!

Easy and fast biodiesel quality control by two physical
    parameters and chemical 2 tests:
       * Specific Gravity at 15°C < 0.895 g/cm3
       * Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C < 5.5 cSt
       ** PH > 7 measurement, and the "27/3" quick test

*** On request, we can also supply a handheld REFRACTOMETER to confirm mono and di-glycerides content

Expandable from 400 to 5000 L/day (1250 gal/day), with hot gravity settling:
     With liquid lye, each module can perform up to 15 reactions in 24h. Then, by sending each mixture to external settling tanks (BD4-E type), the reaction
   processor becomes free to handle successive hot batch reactions. This way, one M50 module may settle, along the 24h, up to 5,000 liters/day(1250 gal/day) of
   high quality biodiesel.

SAVOIA M40
module makes 4000 L/day of biodiesel fuel

** NOTE: the 8-9h gravity settling time into the ISOLATED decanters defines the daily production. Each batch reaction, from the oil drying up to the reaction end, takes 60-90 minutes only.
