A Report On The Production Of Biodiesel

On a large scale ethanol and ethanoic acid is added to get the product ethyl ethanoate and water.

The racing industry will come to a standstill (Pahl 05). Even at this moment, certain suppliers are selling biodiesel at the same price as diesel fuel but this trend is unlikely to continue in the future. Using biofuels for racing is an impractical alternative at the moment.

Chevron products Company, a Chevron U.S. A Inc. division, maker of the Delo(R) brand of technologically advanced heavy duty engine oils, lubricants and coolants, unveiled a new category of heavy duty motor oil designed to address the growth of severe duty applications in on-and off-highway markets. Quality heavy-duty engine oils must also disperse soot and control sludge in order to help guard against the loss of an engine’s life. Properly lubricating the inside of a heavy-duty engine requires more than just creating a protective film. Delo products have assisted in reducing operating costs and improving fuel efficiency. Switching to this product Delo 's fuel economy products, and a 4% fuel economy improvement compared to SAE 15W-40 oils. Actual results will vary depending upon vehicle type, load and other driving conditions [4].

injected to benefit the engine to help with gas mileage and all that and are said to have a ton of

Pacific Biodiesel in 2017 says Biodiesel balances energy by how much is required to produce, refine, and distribute the fuel compared to the amount of energy released when it is burned. This property is used to determine how ?renewable? a fuel is. A higher ratio indicates a lower environmental impact, as less fossil energy is needed to produce,

Ethanol is now found in most gasolines, except for the few and far between pumps that sell ethanol-free fuel. Ethanol acts as a “filler” in gasoline, because it is much cheaper than many gasoline components, however it comes at a price because ethanol infused gasoline procures about 33% less energy than ethanol free gasoline, dropping its competitiveness towards diesel even more. (Energy, 2015) Ethanol gasoline types include E10, E15, and E85. E10 represents gasoline with a 10% ethanol content, which is the norm now for most gasoline types, and what will mostly likely be in normal unleaded gasoline. E15, 15% ethanol, can only be used in flex-fuel or light duty cars because it produces not nearly enough power to run a large gasoline engine without major modifications. (Energy, 2015) E85, meaning that it is composed of 85% ethanol gasoline mixture (51-83% ethanol), and can only be used by special flex-fuel

In researching the data, I discovered that the use of biodiesel is an alternative fuel source as well. This fuel, a 20/80 mixture, does not require any type of retrofitting of the engine. This product has the added ability of cleaning out the particles that have built up by the use of using diesel fuel throughout the engine and fuel system. These particles are expelled via the exhaust or fuel filter. The only cost that will incur would be the cost to replace the fuel filter during the initial uses of the product until the entire system is clean. (Biodiesel facts, et. al, 2012)

As seen in Figure 1, the blend of ethanol and diesel produces more energy that standard diesel, and also burns ‘cleaner’ than standard diesel. Diesohol may be considered as an alternative fuel for the future, however the production of diesohols is 14% more expensive than the production of regular diesel. Even with the 14% price increase over diesel, the visible reduction in smoke emissions and consumption of the fuel, it could be a fuel considered for the future. However, further research should be undertaken to fully understand the properties and level of sustainability diesohols will present for

Methanol or methyl alcohol is the simplest alcohol and consists of a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group (CH3OH). To use as a fuel, methanol is reacted with isobutylene to yield methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), an octane-enhancing gasoline additive. MTBE can be used directly as a gasoline substitute or in a blend with gasoline. A popular example is M85 which is 85% methanol and 15% gasoline. In the United States, most of the methanol produced is converted from natural gas (BioFacts). However, methanol produced from biomasses, like bagasse, serves as a more renewable option.

It is with great pride that I announce Global Research Corp, National Motor Company, and Filters Inc. have entered into a strategic alliance that will allow approximately half of the 1 billion cars on the road and their owners freedom from traditional fossil fuels and ability to use biofuels with our transition package named The Gas Replacer. The advancement in biofuel technology has reached the point where Global Research Corp can now introduce a viable and sustainable alternative with National Motor Company and Filters Inc.to a global audience with your help!

Diesel has always had a negative connotation about it of being dirty and polluting more than gasoline. While this may be true looking at

Gas: Rationally, you don’t have to flush out existing gas in car, but you may gradually replace regular unleaded gas with a premium quality

Ethanol fuel is clear and colorless, and most importantly, it originates from plants (Ethanol Fact Book). Since it originates from plants almost anyone can help produce it.

In the world of global warming, all kinds of pollution and fuel shortages going on, renewable and clean/ green energy is increasingly the ideal solution of energy related problems we have to solve one way or another. Biofuel is one of the mainstream and highly supported solutions nowadays, an idea to make renewable fuel by living organisms such as fiber, corn, vegetable oil or sugar cane. Unlike nonrenewable fossil fuels over extracted by people causing various environmental problems like generating a considerable amount greenhouse gas, current technology already lets renewable fuel like biofuels to shrink a certain amount of greenhouse gas production, making it a more ‘clean’ source of energy.

According to Sarkar, et al. [17], SSF is superior for ethanol production since it can produce higher ethanol yields due to removal of
