Re: Anyone doing the glycerol remix?
I have been mixing in about 5 gallons of glycerin by-product (I use the KOH method so it's liquid) back into my 160 gallon aluminum WVO storage tank to lower cloud point of the biodiesel plus hopefully to recover some methanol from the previous process.
Also, I've obviously noticed that the titrations are much lower. The one problem I have been having is adequate WVO filtration with my pump station from the tank. I'm going to have to engineer something that will fit on the output of the generic Harbor Freight rotary barrel pump. I have been using a section of nylon stocking (panty hose), but it will clog in short order. All biodiesel produced from my reactor is filtered through a whole-house water filter system to eliminate any particulates (I think larger than 5 microns, but I'm not sure).
