This video illustrates how to do a titration using our mini-titration kit.
To titrate:
1) Add 10 mL Isopropyl Alcohol
2) Add 1 mL Oil
3) Add 2-3 Drops Phenolphthalein
4) Mix Together
5) Slowly Add Titration Solution
6) Stop When It Turns Purple
7) Measure How Much Titration Solution Was Used
8) Add That Number To The Base For The Catalyst You're Using
9) Result Identifies How Many Grams Per Liter Of Oil Are Required To Produce Biodiesel From The Oil Titrated
Example:
100 liters of oil
Titration Yielded 5
KOH Is Being Used
KOH's Base Is 7
5 + 7 = 12 Grams
100 x 12 = 1200 Grams Required To React 100 Liters Of Oil

It measures the level of fatty acids in the oil. No. It doesn't necessarily have to be filtered to titrate it.
Well, glycerin is part of the oil molecule that makes up grease. When making Biodiesel, we chemically remove the glycerin; which usually comprises about 20% of the volume of oil. Crude glycerin (unrefined) isn't worth much. Soap per gallon is dependent on fatty acid levels.
Yes. It can be profitable to make Biodiesel and sell it as well as sell the soap to pay for chemicals too.

what does trytation actually do to the oil?? should this stuff be filtered by this point? is the glycerin allready removed?? how much glycerin is there usually per gallon of grease??? how mucch value does this glycerin have as just straight glycerin?? how much soap can this make per gallon?? can this make a profit to pay for biodiesel chemicals and more/?
