Is Bio diesel made in a continuous process anywhere? How is it made?
Are reaction vessels always needed in continuous processes? Can a flowing stream of hot oil be joined with a stream of hot flowing methoxide using a simple "Y"-type connection and allowed to react as they continue to flow downstream? Since the products, esters and glycerin, are all liquid while hot and since there is little or no expansion and no gasses generated, would a reaction vessel be needed? I have made several small batches of biodiesl thru base catalyed esterification of triglicerides……i have been reacting ethanol and used cannola oil from the back of my local mc donalds to make biodiesel. it works!

As far as I can tell it takes more energy to make Bio Diesel than it gives off. Just like solar cells which take 20 years worth of energy to make.
A friend of mine uses biodiesel in his station wagon. It’s used vegetable oil. The only treatment he gives it is to filter it. It tends to gel in a NZ winter. This would be a problem in a North American or European winter. You’d need some way of warming it up.
