INFORMATION AND TRAINING BIODIESEL MANUAL Sample Clauses

INFORMATION AND TRAINING BIODIESEL MANUAL. “Biodiesel” designates a group of esterified vegetable oils from different oil- containing crops, most importantly rapeseed, soybean, sunflower and palm. In common parlance, abbreviations like “RME”-for rapeseed methyl ester, the variant for which the most data exist-are used to describe these esterified oils. Esterification offers a low cost way to transform vegetable oil molecules into molecules similar to diesel hydrocarbons, although costs of such biodiesels exceed those of fossil diesel. With properties similar to those of fossil diesel, biodiesel can go almost directly into existing diesel vehicles and it mixes with fossil fuel diesel in any ratio; its energy content is a little (about 8%) lower, but it has higher fuel density and better ignition qualities with its higher cetane number. Biodiesel production begins with pressing the crop, which yields a liquid oil fraction to be converted and a first by-product, oil cake, used as cattle feed. After filtering, esterification provides a low cost way to transform the large-branched molecule structure of the extracted oils into smaller, straight-chained molecules similar to hydrocarbons in the diesel boiling range. During esterification, the addition of a monovalent alcohol, usually methanol, replaces the trivalent alcohol glycerine, which gives methyl ester and releases glycerine, a second by-product used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Well-to-wheel energy consumption of biodiesel is higher than for fossil diesel but generally lower than for gasoline. Well to wheel emissions are very similar to diesel emissions; high for NOX and particulates but relatively low for CO and hydrocarbons; CO2 emissions remain low because biodiesel comes from biomass. Biodiesel can be handled and used safely. Experience in handling stems for the oils used in the food sector and the ester employed as feedstocks in the detergent, cosmetics and soap industries. Biodiesel causes less health risk to humans or animals than fossil diesel and present less danger to the environment because of its biodegradability. Stored like diesel fuel, biodiesel needs approximately 15% more fuel weight than diesel fuel for equivalent vehicle ranges, but tank volume has to increase by only 9%. Deposits generated by biodiesel require more frequent filter replacements and shorter tank -cleaning intervals, and elastomers must be biodiesel resistant. If the biodiesel is RME, protection of the vehicle’s exterior from spill damage during ...
