Biodiesel Two-Stage Base Process

This process is designed for use with waste vegetable oils (WVO).

First Stage

• 1. Filter and measure the desired amount of WVO into the reaction vessel.
• 2. Heat the WVO to 50C (hold this temp)
  While the WVO is heating, prepare the Methoxide.
  - 25% Methanol/liter WVO
  - 6.25 grams of Sodium Hydroxide/liter of WVO .
  (Example: If you are processing 100 liters of WVO your Methoxide will consist of 25
  liters of Methanol and 625 grams of NaOH.)
• 3. Introduce 75% of the prepared Methoxide into the reaction vessel
• 4. Mix vigorously for 1 hour.
• 5. Remove the heat and let the mixture settle for 12 hours or overnight.

The next day

• 6. Drain the glycerol from the reaction vessel (fairly thin this time).
  

Second Stage

• 7. Heat the feedstock to 50C (hold this temp)
• 8. Introduce the final 25% of the prepared Methoxide into the reaction vessel.
• 9. Mix vigorously for 1 hour.
• 10. Remove the heat and let the mixture settle for 12 hours of overnight.
  

The next day

• 11. Drain the glycerol from the reaction vessel (very heavy and thick stuff this time).
  
• Note: Between the glycerol and biodiesel layers there will be a thin layer of creamy
  colored stuff consisting of various settled waxes. This stuff should not be processed
  further but discarded.
  
• Now you can wash, dry and filter your Biodiesel.
