Biobuddy 53 gallon Biodiesel Processor

Product Description

The Biobuddy 53 Gallon processors concept is based on value. It is not another processor pieced together at a hardware store, it was custom engineered and each part is molded with HDPE plastic (no rusting or corroding) and special additives to allow it withstand the high heats and chemicals it will be exposed to for years without ever letting up. Before choosing the pump in BioBuddy, we ran it dry 2 weeks straight to ensure it was worthy, therefore it has a 1 year unlimited use warranty. Before we finalized the base mold, we placed it under double the expected weight to ensure durability. We went above and beyond during all fazes of testing before offering this processor to the public with the highest confidence. Along with each processor, we will send you a manual with very detailed instructions on exactly how to make a batch from start to finish as well as many other general tips. On top of all this, if your located in the continental U.S. shipping is free! How BioBuddy works: Mixing the chemicals: BioBuddy is designed to self-mix all chemicals, ensuring maximum results with minimal effort. The catalyst can be added to the main holding tank and mixed in accordingly. Washing the fuel: Improve the quality of your fuel by removing any remaining sodium hydroxide, methanol and soap that has been left behind with the aid of the integrated wash nozzle. Drying the fuel: Any remaining water that is present will be evaporated into the atmosphere during this stage, ensuring water-free Biodiesel. Filtering the fuel: Finally, your new Biodiesel is filtered and polished to 5 microns. This stage of the process will remove any final remaining contaminants, likely to be trace elements. Pumping the fuel: Transfer your Biodiesel directly into your car, storage tank, or anywhere you like with the aid of the fuel dispensing nozzle - just like a petrol station!

This review is from: Biobuddy 53 gallon biodiesel processor
I have owned this processor for a few months and have run several loads of biodiesel. My cars have been running great on it, and it is both inexpensive and easy to process.

Positives: Super easy & clean one piece design is great if you only need to run 35-40 gallons per day. Total processing time is about 4 hours (plus wash time), but it really only needs about 15-20 minutes of work per load. Steven @ BioBuddy has been very good to deal with, and has been very responsive to my questions.

Negatives: Not many... unless you want to process a couple 100 gallons at a time (which I admittedly would.) But, with an investment of 15-20 minutes of your actual time, plus a little time "babysitting", you can process enough to keep a family of cars running for a week on 100% bio. I have been mixing mine about 50/50 with petro diesel in our 2010 Audi A3 TDI, 2008 Mercedes GL320 and 2003 Chevy HD2500 Duramax.

A few things to watch for: (1) My machine was setup for 220 single phase power, which is basically the voltage of your clothes dryer. We had to rig a long extension cord for it. I'm not sure if this is the case with the newer machines. (2) I have also put the unit on a caster base so that I can wheel it in and outside easily for processing... which does make it easier. (3) The machine is a little bit vague on temperatures and volume (it really does not have an indicator for how much is in it, and while it says you need to get the mixture to a certain temperature, there is no temp gauge) these are both simple fixes... First, you make sure to get accurate measurements on your first fills and make the outside of the tank with a marker pen at the levels. I also plumbed in an auto coolant temperature gauge on the circulation stream. Easy improvements both.

Overall, a great machine

Proses Pembuatan Biodiesel dari Minyak Nabati / CPO

Posted by Flora Sawita Labels: , , ,

Biodiesel
Meminjam istilah yang dipakai Dirjen Listik dan Pemanfaatan Energi (LPE), Depertemen ESDM, Yogo Pratomo, biodiesel didefinisikan sebagai salah satu jenis bahan bakar nabati yang dibuat dari minyak nabati melalui proses transesterifikasi.

Andi Nur Alamsyah (2006) menjelaskan, proses pembuatan biodiesel dari minyak nabati disebut transesterifikasi (trans ? ester ? ifikasi). Transeterifikasi merupakan perubahan bentuk dari satu jenis ester menjadi bentuk ester yang lain.

Dalam proses transesterifikasi diperlukan katalis untuk mempercepat proses. Lemigas sendiri, menurut Evita Legowo, menggunakan methanol dengan NaOH sebagai katalisnya. Selanjutnya campuran tersebut ditambahkan ke dalam reaktor yang berisi CPO, lalu diaduk sesuai dengan kondisi operasi yang diinginkan.

Kepada WePe Arman Siswandi dari Pemasaran dan Niaga Pertamina mencoba membantuk menjelaskan soal ini. Menurutnya biodiesel itu bisa dari crude palm oil (CPO) atau dari jarak pagar. Tapi apapun yang digunakan harus sudah melalui proses transesterifikasi. Untuk mempercepat reaksinya digunakan katalis methanol dan ethanol. Dalam produk hasil transesterifikasi sendiri, kedua unsur katalis itu (methanol dan ethanol) tidak keluar, semata-mata sebagai katalis saja, untuk mempercepat proses transesterifikasi.

Arman yang didampingi Yohan Soelaiman dari PT Esterindo, perusahaan yang menjadi rekanan dalam proyek pembuatan biodiesel Pertamina, menjelaskan, biji kelapa sawit diperas dan disaring menghasilkan CPO.
Dari CPO proses berikutnya bisa digunakan untuk minyak goreng, yaitu melalui pemurnian terlebih dulu. Karena warna asli CPO itu gelap sekali. Sedangkan untuk menjadi bahan bakar, CPO akan diproses lebih lanjut dalam proses transesterifikasi.

Dijelaskan oleh Arman, sebenarnya dari CPO akan keluar dua jenis unsur, yaitu 20 persen tearin dan 80 persen olein. Unsur olein direaksikan dalam proses transesterifikasi menggunakan katalis ethanol dan methanol untuk mempercepat reaksi sehingga didapatkan FAME (fatty acid methyl ester). Transesterifikasi antara minyak nabati dan ethanol menggunakan katalis basa NaOH atau KOH.

Dari proses transesterifikasi itu sebenarnya keluar juga gliserin. Tapi gliserin ini tidak bisa dipakai untuk bahan bakar, kecuali untuk kosmetik dan sabun. Unsur FAME yang digunakan sebagai bahan bakar.
Dari hasil proses transesterifikasi keluar unsure FAME yang akan digunakan sebagai bahan baku biodiesel.
Yang dikembangkan dan dijual Pertamina saat ini adalah biodiesel jenis B-5, yang berarti formulasi 5 persen FAME dan 95 persen solar murni. Unsur-unsur FAME dan solar murni di-blending dengan metode blending flash. Prosesnya cepat, sehingga begitu di-blending langsung bercampur.
Setelah dicampur begitu, masuk ke inland blending, lalu masuk ke isso tank. ?Di situ bercampur sendiri,? jelas Arman.

Dari situ langsung dibawa ke lokasi penjualan. Di lokasi ini disiapkan pompa dan metering-nya. Proses pencampuran antara solar murni dan FAME itu menurut Arman berlangsung hanya sekitar 10 menit.

KEYAKINAN INSINYUR JERMAN
Tim Lemigas, Balitbang Departemen ESDM, menjelaskan bahwa minyak nabati merupakan salah satu alternatif yang dapat digunakan baik sebagai pengganti maupun subsitusi bahan bakar diesel.
Sebagai bahan bakar pengganti, diharapkan minyak nabati dapat menggantikan pemakaian bahan bakar diesel fosil. Dan sebagai substitusi bahan bakar diesel diharapkan minyak nabati dapat mengurangi kebutuhan terhadap bahan bakar diesel fosil.

Minyak nabati sebagai bahan bakar diesel menurut jenisnya dapat dibagi atas:
1. Crude vegetable oil (CVO), yaitu minyak nabati mentah hasil pemerasan atau ekstraksi buah atau biji nabati yangh telah melalui proses penyaringan dan pembersihan.
2. Refined vegetable oil (RVO), yaitu hasil pemurnian dari CVO.
3. Methyl/ethyl ester vegetable oil yaitu hasil transesterifikasi dari VCO atau RVO.

Dalam pemakaian minyak nabati sebagai bahan bakar diesel dapat dilakukan melalui beberapa pilihan atau alternatif, antara lain:
1. Bisa saja CVO murni.
2. Campuran CVO dengan bahan bakar diesel fosil.
3. RVO murni.
4. Campuran RVO dengan bahan bakar diesel fosil.
5. Methyl/Ethyl ester vegetable oil murni.
6. Campuran Methyl/Ethyl ester vegetable oil dengan bahan bakar diesel fosil.

Terjadinya krisis minyak bumi tahun 1973 menimbulkan kembali perhatian pada pemakaian minyak nabati sebagai bahan bakar diesel. Padahal pemakaian minyak nabati sebagai bahan bakar diesel sudah dikembangkan Dr. Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel (1859?1913) yang menciptakan motor diesel. Waktu itu, tahun 1910, Rodolf Diesel menggunakan minyak kacang tanah sebagai bahan bakar untuk menjalankan mesinnya pada suatu pameran Pekan Raya Dunia di Paris.

Namun dengan tersedianya bahan bakar fosil yang melimpah, maka penelitian dan pemakaian minyak nabati sebagai bahan bakar diesel ditinggalkan orang. Sebagai inovator insinyur dari Jerman itu yakin bahwa minyak nabati akan kembali digunakan orang pada saatnya.

Karl Diesel bilang begini: Der Gebrauch von Pflanzenol als Krafstoff mag heut Unbedeutend sein. Aber derartige Produkte konnen im Laufe der Zeit ebenzo wiching warden wie Petroleum und Diese Kohle-Teer-Produkte von heute (Pemakaian minyak nabati sebagai bahan bakar untuk saat ini sepertinya tidak berarti, tetapi pada saatnya nanti akan menjadi penting, sebagaimana penggunaan minyak bumid an produk tir batubara pada saat ini).

Dan pada saat ini ? atau 96 tahun setelah kalimat itu diucapkan ? apa yang diyakini Karl Diesel terbukti. Orang heboh melakukan pengembangan bahan bakar nabati. Berbagai penelitian telah dilakukan secara intensif oleh berbagai lembaga riset dari berbagai penjuru dunia dengan menggunakan konsep baru.

Plant Oils as Fuels: Present State of Science and Future Developments


Plant Oils as Fuels: Present State of Science and Future Developments Description:
Among renewable energy resources, Biodiesel fuel made from rapeseed is of special importance in Europe. Economical, technological, ecological and toxicological arguments have been advanced implying that, at present, Biodiesel is at best just a "niche" product that can only compete with traditional fossil diesel fuel because of significant tax incentives. Given the present state of knowledge in these very different areas, the decisive question to be asked is whether the competitiveness, and thus marketability, of Biodiesel can be enhanced by biotechnological manipulations of the rape plant.

Palm biofuel to replace diesel

Posted by Flora Sawita Labels: , ,



Records from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry showed that last year, industry demand for diesel was 2.8 billion litres while diesel sold at subsidised prices for other uses totalled 5.56 billion litres.

Having a 5% mix would mean cutting down the reliance on diesel for industrial use by 140,000 litres and for other uses by 278,000 litres annually.

The use of biofuel will also help cut down carbon monoxide emissions from vehicles and machines, as the combustion of biofuel produces carbon dioxide.
 
Former Malaysian Palm Oil Association chief executive M.R. Chandran said it was important the Government ensure that petroleum companies complied with the National Biofuel Policy and Biofuel Act.

“We need strong political will to compel petrol kiosks to make biofuel available,” he said.
He said it was important for biofuel producers and petroleum companies to work together to make biofuel available to the public at petrol stations.

Chandran said Malaysia could convert 500,000 tonnes of its total production of 15 million tonnes of crude palm oil into biofuel.

“The 5% mix of processed palm oil with diesel will not affect the performance of vehicles,” he added.

On concerns that the push to use biofuel meant clearing more land for planting oil palm, Chandran said any expansion in the future would be done in a sustainable manner.

“The country is the top producer of palm oil in the world with almost four million hectares in plantations.

“Our maximum capacity is to plant another 600,000ha and produce a maximum of 20 million tonnes of palm oil annually,” he said.
