Type of UCO for Biodiesel
« on: April 01, 2014, 08:48:15 PM »
** UCO = used cooking oil


Dear Chemists,

I am in the process of producing my own biodiesel, hopefully I can make it commercialize within my vicinity.
My questions are:


1. To produce biodiesel, do I have to check on the quality of the UCO, whether it is ok to process for biodiesel, or any UCO regardless it is still new or "expired" / "aged" type ?


2. If there is only certain UCO that can be used to produce UCO, is there any lab test for me to perform?


Thanks a lot!

Even though we might answer each question, It would be better if you did some self education.
I did GOOGLE of
homemade biodiesel
And got plenty of hits

Thanks a lot sir!

However I did Google on this subject matter but nothing came out, unless I have missed it.
