Biodiesel, Basics And Beyond: A Comprehensive Guide to Production And Use for the Home And Farm

"This book draws on the collective experience of North American and European researchers, with the author redeveloping and detailing the step-by-step processes and equipment required for the micro and small-scale producer to produce biodiesel fuel that can meet North American standards. The book details the construction and operation of a 40-gallon-per-day (150-liter), scalable-size biodiesel production facility, including a test and measurement laboratory for determining fuel quality. Each process or method is verified by independent government or university laboratories, ensuring the reader of the accuracy of both the data and the methodology. Information is also provided on waste treatment including water recycling and methanol recovery to ensure that the production of biodiesel is not only safe and economical but also ecofriendly."--BOOK JACKET.
