How to make bio diesal?

Question

and is it really as eco friendly as it would seem

Answer 1

It is called "bio" only because it is produced from (recent) biological matter, as opposed to biological matters that have been buried for million of years (petroleum).
How it is made depends to a great extent on what the raw material is. A company called Changing World Technology has developed a process that can convert virtually any organic matter or petroleum based substance into oil; old tires, plastic, agricultural waste, manure, you name it . This could be the ultimate approach, but there is nothing that prevents someone from using waste cooking oil almost directly as diesel fuel. All that is required in that case is to filter out the impurities, and perhaps add a few stabilizer to protect an engine that was not necessarily calibrated for that type of fuel. The limitation that remains is that cooking oil may turn into a solid lump at a temperature that can be reached in cold winter nights.

It would be eco friendly as long as the production is based on renewable resources. Turning vegetal or animal matter into oil taps into a resource where replacement will be grown back, and the carbon dioxyde that is released from burning such fuel has to be recaptured by the plants that you intend to use next (either directly or as feedstock for the animal), so it is a sustainable approach.

(and such biodiesel DOES contain carbon, this is at the intention of the other answerer...)

Answer 2

It's made by turning old used up oils or animal parts or retired circus animals. It's basically recycling because there is really no other use for these materials other than head for the landfill.
The process they use heats the garbage to 500 degrees F and applies a large amount of pressure to the vat it is in. By applying pressure to the heat, the entire thing reaches much higher temperatures, kinda like a pressure cooker would on your stove. After a few hours of hard cooking, the soup is removed and centrifuged. Spinning it out separates the viable parts of it necessary for making the fuel. The useful parts are comprised different carbon chain molecules that will be found in most of your regular diesel fuels and will actually burn cleaner than other fuels will.
Biodiesel is more ecofriendly than burning regular diesel in a vehicle, but it is still burning an organic material and putting carbon dioxide in the air. But for the most part it is more ecofriendly.

Answer 3

Not exactly sure hot to make, though one way of producing it comes from refining used vegetable oil. Here's one plan.

Try researching on the internet to see which is most economical and works best. There are plenty of websites that explain the process.

I think its more eco friendly in the sense that it is resusing a product that would normally be wasted, as opposed to supporting the production of more fossil fuels. I've even read that it could help your diesel engine run better and last longer.

Answer 4

regrettably no.This Bio Oil might desire to be very disappointing.no longer plenty you will do particularly,you ought to purchase scar patches that take approximately 3 months to artwork in spite of the undeniable fact that they are costly. Borage Oil is surely in spite of the undeniable fact that it wont placed off the scar,it will continually be there.

Answer 5

Yes it is good. U just need to filter it ,first to remove any particles and any water. Diesel's don't like water in the fuel ,it gets a drop of water ,it will tell u.
Do what you can I don't trust the Arab's .

Answer 6

I have emailed this question to my husband. He is a chemist at a petroleum lab and he was telling me how to do this just the other day. I hope he can answer your question.

Answer 7

how to make a hydro engine use water to drive the car.oh dear the oil companies would go bust..
