Enforcement of more stringent regulations, availability of more efficient grease interceptor technology and greater awareness of the impact of FOG on communities and the environment is gradually improving grease trap waste collection. ...
Flint Hills Resources' biofuels business now includes seven ethanol plants with a combined annual capacity of 820 million gallons, a biodiesel plant, and investments in biofuels technology and feedstock development. ...
More than half of that mass consists of lipids or triacylglycerides which are also found in vegetable oils and are used to produce such advanced biofuels as biodiesel, green diesel, green gasoline and green jet fuel. Algal remediation technology helps in pH correction of acidic mine water and effluent and complete reduction of sludge formation, the use of algae ...
Any animal or vegetable fat can become raw materials for production of the natural diesel practically. Biodiesel economy is really changed after technology was allowed to make fuel from algas, commercial crops, animal fats and even the fulfilled culinary oils can become the most widespread source of fats. ...
As alternative fuel, the biodiesel represents the diesel oil received from vegetable raw materials. ...

Injection timing, along with engine operating parameters, significantly affects the performance and emissions of Jatropha biodiesel engine. Optimal setting of these parameters is indispensable for efficient operation of diesel engine when fuelled with Jatropha biodiesel. The present work is to optimise these parameters using response surface methodology (RSM) for ...
Infrared (IR) analysis is the most widely used measurement technology for measuring biodiesel in diesel. Both EN 14078 and ASTM D7371 methods use infrared as the analytical method and more specifically FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy. ...
The main obstacle in biodiesel production from waste fats and oils is their high free fatty acid content. Its precise measurement helps Professor Karel Kolomaznik’s Faculty of Applied Informatics team at Tomas Bata University in Zlín (Czech Republic) to develop suitable new technology. Biodiesel from waste The Tomas Bata University ...
IR can be a simple, effective way to measure biodiesel blend ratios from a variety of feedstocks BY SANDRA RINTOUL With biodiesel hitting a new production record of 823 million gallons through October and expected to reach 1.28 billion by 2013, more biodiesel will ultimately be blended into our diesel fuel. ...
