Home-Brew Biodiesel

How do these systems operate? After collecting several gallons of waste oil (Asian restaurants are generally preferred by biodiesel refiners), you first need to filter it and evaluate its quality by titration, a simple chemical test that determines the amount of lye and methanol required. Then, these two chemicals are carefully mixed together in a sealed container and then added to a tank of lukewarm vegetable oil (heat speeds the conversion process). After about 30 minutes, glycerin separates out from the oil and is drained off, which can be resold to make soap or as plant fertilizer (or to make propylene glycol, a nontoxic antifreeze for cooling systems).
