Biodiesel Chemistry
By Rick Da Tech
Specific Gravity and BiodieselOne of the field tests for Diesel Fuel is to measure it’s specific gravity with a hydrometer. This test can tell you how much energy is in diesel fuel. This article covers hydrometer use for both diesel and biodiesel. |
Biodiesel StabilityHow long can you store Biodiesel? This article goes into the chemistry behind the answer. |
Time to Heat OilThis Article answers the question, "How long does it take to heat up my oil?" Moreover, it includes all the math. |
Acid Number to FFA ConversionsFree Fatty Acid content, Acid Number, and WVO titration number are all different ways of talking about the same thing. This article shows you how to convert back and forth. |
Enzymatic BiodieselCommercial biodiesel producers are using enzymes as a catalyst for making biodiesel from high FFA oils without the need for strong acids. |
