Making Biodiesel From Waste Vegetable Oil | Utah Biodiesel Supply

Watch In HD! You'll love it!

Hosted by Biodiesel Expert Graydon Blair from Utah Biodiesel Supply, in this video we'll show you how to make a small batch of Biodiesel from waste vegetable oil.

We cover the whole process from start to finish including how to titrate the oil, how to mix the methanol and catalyst, how to mix everything together, and then how to wash & dry the Biodiesel.

If you've ever wanted to learn how to make Biodiesel in small batches from waste oil, this is the one to watch.

Hello, i have one question.... Can i use ethanol instead methanol?

[UtahBiodiesel]

@SteelerSVK Yes. But it's a royal pain in the rear. You have to use quite a bit more, and washing it can be really, really tricky, but it is doable.

How can I make the titration solution with sodium hydroxide instead of potassium hydroxide???... actually, how I can make the whole thing using sodium hydroxide, because It's all I could get in Va.

I bought the DELUXE TITRATION KIT from your web site, and that comes with 10 grams of potassium hydroxide.

Do you guys have a book I can buy for this kind of questions???.

[UtahBiodiesel]

@boliviangirls Use 1 gram Sodium Hydroxide, 1 liter distilled water & you have sodium based titration solution. Yes. You can use sodium for the whole process. Adjust your base down to 5.5 though. Divide it by the purity though. 5.5/.95 = 5.8.

We don't have a book, but we do have a great DVD. It's our Biolyles Biodiesel Workshop DVD & is available on our website. utahbio dot com

@UtahBiodiesel Thank you very much, now, I have a question, if this small batch you mix it for five minutes, for how long should I mix a larger batch???, lets say 10 litters.

[UtahBiodiesel]

@boliviangirls I'd mix it for at least 20-30 minutes.

@boliviangirls We don't offer a book, but we do have a really great (2) DVD set available that will walk you through making Biodiesel from scratch. It's right on the front page of the website utahbio dot com

@boliviangirls Using the Deluxe Titration Kit, use the scale that came with it and measure out 1 gram of your Sodium Hydroxide. Put it in the titration solution bottle and add the distilled water. Then you'll be set to titrate with sodium hydroxide.

The formula for making bio with Sodium Hydroxide is in our titration kit instructions as well as on our website utahbio dot com (left-hand side under Biodiesel Basics: How To Titrate)
