Re: Anyone doing the glycerol remix?
Mark and others more experienced--Your thoughts, please, on Scotts comments above concerning using the glyc with prewash water as a glycerol prewash to lower gel point. It is cold here in Nebraska tonight, but I do not believe we will be running less than B100 for very long. I will not be concerned with gel point until October or so.
If the WVO is heated to processing temp, 130 degrees, when the previous batch glyc is mixed in and circulated for 15 minutes and settled overnight, do you think there would be enough water transfer to interfer with the normal titration and processing of the oil for biodiesel? I would think that the water would move back to the glyc and settle out. Of course somewhat controlled experiments are probably needed.
