I'm about to try my first AE process... my oil is titrating at 20 NAOH... Does this process sound OK to you??
heat up my batch (100L) to 131 F add the 10L methanol and 200 ML acid react for a few hours and check titration level Assuming good titration level (<6 NAOH) let it settle overnight Next day heat back up to 131 F Add 10L methanol and appropriate amount of lye react and let settle overnight again
Am I missing something? Also- Once the tiration drops, is there a need to let it settle before moving on to the second stage? Do i need to drain off the acid/water?
