Biodiesel fuel of the future by https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz en-us 2022-09-18 20:17:59 UTC 2022-09-19 14:02:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f33d.png What is Biodiesel degiorgiotai https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz/wish/2301879049 Biodiesel is made/produced from animal fat or plant matter with aide of an alcohol through a transesterification process turning those plants, oils, fats into biodiesel and glycerin. Some diesel engines rely purely on Vegetable oil(s) for fuel.  It takes on average 100 pounds of oil or fat with 10 pounds of alcohol, in most cases methanol, to produce 100 pounds of biodiesel with 10 pounds of glycerin.

One bushel of soybeans can output (yield) 5.68 liters (about 1.5 gallons) of biodiesel. However, soybeans have an oil content of around 20%. Other fuels, like Canola and sunflower seeds, have double that amount at around 40% and 43% respectively.

2. Then from filter run lines to heat exchanger then from their run lines to the control switch/ lever to control the switch between SVO (straight vegetable oil) or Biodiesel  
3. Then from the switch/ lever to the fuel pump most of the fuel pumps and fuel systems in your diesel vehicle will be able to run on this product already but if needed a secondary fuel pump may need to be added 

The application and location will also determine some of the things you may need to add or not add to the vehicle. For example, if you are operating your vehicle in Canada you will definitely want to consider a heat exchanger due to the fact the viscosity of the fuel would be too thick for the fuel system, compared to if you're operating in Mexico a heater would not be needed.  ]]> 2022-09-18 20:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz/wish/2301883636 What I think about Biodiesel degiorgiotai https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz/wish/2301921764 Biodiesel faces many challenges to overcome and needs to be refined to be able to completely take over the market. However, the direction it is going in and the foundation already laid out shows significant upside for a more sustainable fuel source. Biodiesels high cetane number provides a clean burn and reduces carbon emissions by 74% compared to conventional diesel. That milestone is something to celebrate as we focus on getting our planet a little bit greener.

It will also get rid of a huge percentage of old food oil waste because it can be converted into that beautiful bio diesel for MO POWA BABY. Overall, we do believe that this will be the fuel of the future.

- It is a clean burning fuel
-Produces less toxic(s), pollutants and greenhouse gases (up to 78%)
- It can be used in blends with petroleum diesel or 100% bio fuel
- It has helped countries in reducing their dependence on foreign reserves
- It can be used in any diesel engine with little to no modification
- It can be grown, produced and distributed locally
- Less harmful to environment  in the process of making it in the refineries 
- When burn't, produces less particulate matter ,  unburned hydrocarbons and sulfur dioxide
- Higher flashpoint making transport and handling a lot safer than petroleum diesel
-If produced locally, it can improve the economy, increasing job opportunities and demand for farmers   
-It can have 30% better fuel economy

- When oil is extracted each crop varies in quality which affects the ability to produce power
- Gels easily in cold temperature, must be blended with winterized diesel fuel
- Can possibly damage rubber hose of engines
- Slight increase in NOX about 10%
- Producing one gallon of biodiesel equals several gallons of petroleum diesel in amount of energy used
-Not distributed widely like its counter part petroleum diesel 
-It can have major environmental draw backs producing the same crop over and over again, the farm land needs rotation for the nutrient to be put back in the soil
- Some regions are not able to grow oil producing crops 
- Biodiesels use animal and vegetable fat means that theres more demand for the products results in prices to raise 
- Biodiesel cost 1.5 times higher than standard petroleum diesel

Just like Biodiesels needing sources we do as well.

A catalyst is then used to improve the reaction rate and yield. Because this reaction is reversible, any excess alcohol is used to shift the equilibrium to the product side (glycerin).]]> 2022-09-19 02:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz/wish/2302154780 video degiorgiotai https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz/wish/2302157709 2022-09-19 02:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz/wish/2302157709 Biodiesels characteristics dmiller4702 https://padlet.com/degiorgiotai/of6fqpk4y4pdtiyz/wish/2302158728

As we look towards the future,  the development of Biodiesel is a very important step in reaching a fully renewable source of fuel for compression engines. Other attractions of this fuel besides its biodegradability is its massive help in lowering emissions (up to 74% compared to petroleum diesel) its low to none sulphur content and its high cetane number.
