Biodiesel classes with Maria 'girl Mark' Alovert, fall 2008 (http://www.girlmark.com/tour)
This class covers the basics of producing biodiesel, quality control and testing, and equipment design.
This class is discussion-based, as well as hands-on- so bring your questions. We will build an "Appleseed" style homebrew reactor at the end of Sunday's class.
Although the class assumes no prior experience, experienced producers have also found this class useful. The class is a combination of lecture and have hands-on 'lab' sessions where you will practice titrating oil, making test batches, making mistakes intentionally and learning from them, testing the biodiesel, washing the biodiesel in test batches, and testing oil. We will discuss some advanced topics depending on interest- "waterless washing", ethyl esters, and high-FFA oil.
