锘? Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Consider Making Your Own
Biodiesel
by shana
1. Biodiesel is EASY to make.
You can make
Biodiesel in your kitchen!. Anybody can make biodiesel.
2. Biodiesel is
BETTER than the Petro-diesel fuel
Biodiesel is cleaner. It cuts down on
targeted emission - better for the environment and better for health.
3.
Biodiesel provides good engine performance.
Your diesel motor will run
better and last longer on your home-made fuel.
4. The production and use of
biodiesel create less carbon dioxide emission compared to petroleum diesel.
Hence Causing less damage to the atmosphere.
5. The Raw Material for
making Biodiesel is Renewable and Biodegradable.
You can make biodiesel from
Vegetable Oil such as palm Oil

Jerseys , Rapeseed Oil, Soy Oil, etc.
6. Petroleum Oil Prices
is increasing.
Now, Biodiesel is at it's infancy. It is the best time for
you to start experimenting with biodiesel and if you know how to make it, then
when biodeiesel is in demand, you will be at the top.
7. Biodiesel can be
used neat or blended with petroleum diesel in any proportions.
So, when
petroleum diesel is too highly priced, like it is now, your biodiesel will be
very much in demand.
8. No modification is required on your diesel engine.
Biodiesel operates in conventional combustion-ignition engines, from light
to heavy-duty just like petroleum diesel and no engine modifications are
required.
9. Fossil fuel is depleting.
Fossil fuel products have been
used by mankind as a source of energy and it was assumed that they will last
forever. Time has changed: with fossil fuel on depletion and global warming on
the increase, it is time to create a sustainable world.
10. Best of
all is the GREAT feeling of freedom, independence and empowerment it will give
you.
Have you experience such a feeling? You know what I mean.
So,
How to make Biodiesel?
Biodiesel is most commonly made by chemically altering
an organic oil through the use of a catalyst and an alcohol, typically Methanol.
The chemical reaction that occurs through this process breaks down the oil
molecules and replaces the glycerine portion of the molecule with an alcohol
molecule. The glycerine falls to the bottom and is drained off resulting in
Biodiesel.
Biodiesel is known chemically as a 'fatty acid methyl ester'.
Which is just a fancy way of saying it's a product made from Methanol and an
organic oil with fatty acid chains in it. It is easily made and has many
benefits

and improved engine performance.
Biodiesel is actually very simple to make.
Anybody can make biodiesel. It's easy, you can make it in your kitchen -- and
it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the big oil companies sell you. It is
made by chemically altering the molecular structure of any organic oil through
the use of a chemical catalyst and an alcohol.
This is how to make
Biodiesel:
To do this, oil is simply heated to a designated temperature (to
help with the chemical reaction) and then a mixture of catalyst and an alcohol
are added to the oil. The oil, catalyst, and alcohol mixture are then mixed for
a period of time and then allowed to settle. If successful, the chemical
reaction between the oil, alcohol, and the catalyst will have broken down the
oil into several layers. The top layer will be biodiesel, chemically called an
Ester, the next layer may contain soap, and the bottom layer will be
glycerine.
Once the layering has occured, the glycerine and soap are drained
off. The biodiesel is then washed with either a mist-wash, a bubble-wash, or
both. The washing is done to remove any additional soap

After
it's been washed, it is then dried to remove any water. Commonly it is then
filtered through fuel filters and is then ready to be used.
So, do you
think yo can make biodiesel now? No, of course not. If it is so simple, then
everyone will be making it. You need to obtain more information and gain more
knowledge in this area. Come and visit http:howtomakebiodesel.blogspot. There is
plenty of information there.

microscope you can't actually see one. Instead lets look at a ping pong ball
