That's a very nice piece of work. He lives in Alberta where there is a surplus of sub-grade canola oil and slaughter house waste being used to make biodiesel for meeting Canada's mandate of a minimum 2% biodiesel in all diesel fuel.

I hope Christian finds this website and your website and learns how to make better biodiesel.

Biodiesel Quality: is All Biodiesel Created Equal?

Rick, I've really enjoyed your "Link of the Day" thread as well as found a wealth of valuable info in the various links you've provided. I'm quite certain you are a busy fella just like the rest of us; however, if you do find the time to continue this thread, I for one will be very glad to see it. Thanks for your contributions to the site!

Since that last post, I've moved to the Dallas - Ft. Worth area and working to get settled in. I'll try to get back to the thread in a few more weeks.

Rick,

If you are ever in Houston, pm me or shoot me your email, drop me a line and I will give you a tour of our 60 mil gal/yr bio plant...

This pub from the NREL was one of the first scientific documents I read on making biodiesel.

Feedstock and Biodiesel Characteristics Report

That's an excellent paper, thanks for posting Rick.
Nice to see canola won the CFPP test since I collect a lot of that, interesting though that castor beat them all hands down with the CP test, you would think that would lead to a winning CFPP result but instead it was nearly last place on CFPP... Interesting...
Cheers,
