These three videos give the background on the process of making biodiesel. They feature Graydon Blair of Utah Biodiesel Supply.
This is part 2 in the series. <- Previous | Next ->
Discuss biodiesel production in our biodiesel production forum. The Theory In this video we discuss how Biodiesel is chemically produced. We use simple drawings and diagrams to keep it easy & simple to understand. Don't worry, we promise, there's no chemistry degree needed. We think you'll find it really educational! We also discuss some of it's chemical properties including some of the great benefits Biodiesel has over petro diesel.
Dealing with Used Oils Here we take things a step further and talk more about what goes on when Biodiesel is being produced, including how to make it from used oils that commonly contain things called Free Fatty Acids (FFA's). Yep. We keep this one simple too so that it's easy to understand.
The Basic Recipe Now that the theory & chemistry is out of the way it's time to talk about how it's made in a production setting. Using a basic diagram, we'll walk you through how it's produced from start to finish. From filtering the oil to drying the finished Biodiesel, we discuss it all! We then give you the basic recipe for making Biodiesel.
