Class will cover everything you need to know to make quality fuel for
about 70 cents a gallon! This class will serve as both an introduction
to biodiesel and a hands-on experience for those interested in learning
how to make biodiesel from used restaurant oil. You will learn the
chemistry and tricks of making quality biodiesel by making small
batches and experimenting with various production steps. We will
also cover washing, methanol recovery, quality control, sources of
supplies and equipment, and reactor design. Other topics to be
covered will include: myths and facts about biodiesel, cold weather
issues, local availability, and what’s going on locally and nationally
with the movement. Whether you just want to learn more so you can
decide whether or not to use biodiesel, or you want to make your own
brew, this class will help you get underway.
