<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Crispin, <br>On the long chain to short chain bio fuel, would this change take place if say an individual from a village collected cooking oil and ran it through a jompy boiler once maybe twice with caustic soda at 1%, would this be a good supply of fuel for a community generator? Any one up for a trial?

The<br>> purpose is just to break the longer chains down a bit.<br>> <br>> What is the simplest (meaning rural micro industry) method of turning raw<br>> oil into a decent fuel? I was surprised to find out from the South African<br>> biodiesel association rep that they toss the shorter chains produced during<br>> this process. They did not realise that bioparaffin was little different<br>> from biodiesel. The point is a stove doesn't care what the mixture is. If it<br>> has short chains they simply add to the ease with which it can be turned<br>> into a gas.<br>> <br>> Stove users should not get stuck on definitions of fuel created by the<br>> automobile industry.<br>> <br>> Regards<br>> Crispin<br>> <br>> <br>> +++++++<br>> <br>> Dear Crispin,<br>> I think that those oils which have very high viscocity may have to be<br>> converted into biodiesel. An acquaintance of mine makes biodiesel from<br>> animal tallow, because you cannot fill tallow into the fuel tank of a car.<br>> Yours<br>> A.D.Karve<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ------------------------------<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Stoves mailing list<br>> <br>> to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br>> stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>> <br>> to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br>> http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org<br>> <br>> <br>> for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site:<br>> http://www.bioenergylists.org/<br>> <br>> <br>> End of Stoves Digest, Vol 15, Issue 11<br>> **************************************<br> </div></body>
