BIODIESEL COMPLETE TITRATION KIT, EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

2 x 50ml BOMEX GLASS JARS

2 x 30ml JARS WITH LIDS

3 x 30ml SAMPLE BOTTLES, ONE WITH COLOUR SOLUTION

7 x SYRINGES

5 x PIPETTS

500ml ISOPROPANOL (Bottle A)

500ml TESTER SOLUTION (Bottle B)

A PAIR OF DISPOSABLE GLOVES

AND THE TITRATION FORMULAE AS BELOW,  SEE SECOND PICTURE

STEP 1        ADD 10ML ISOPROPANOL ALCOHOL (BOTTLE A)

STEP 2        ADD 1-2 DROPS COLOUR REACTOR TO ATTAIN COLOUR AS DIAGRAM

STEP 3        ADD DROPS OF TESTER REAGENT (BOTTLE B) UNTIL COLOUR IS PINKISH/RED

STEP 4        ADD 1ML OF OIL TO BE REACTED AND SWIRL AT MIN OF 20c

Step 5        THE COLOUR SHOULD NOW BE YELLOW AGAIN – WITH A MARKED SYRINGE ADD DROPS OF TESTER (B) REAGENT UNTIL ONCE AGAIN YOU GET A PINKISH/RED COLOUR THAT REMAINS UNCHANGED. COUNT THE AMOUNT USED OUT OF THE SYRINGE AND ADD THIS TO THE BASE AMOUNT FOR THE CATALYST BEING USED.

                   CAUSTIC (SODIUM HYDROXIDE) = 5g + Titration Amount Example: If your titration is 2.5 (5g + 2.5g = 7.5g per litre of oil to be processed)

                   IF USING POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE YOUR BASE FIGURE IS 7g Example: (7g + 2.5g = 9.5g per litre of oil to be processed)                      

• After your reaction, a simple test to determine the conversion of all fats is what is called the 27/3 test. Take one of the 30ml screwcap bottles supplied and put in 27ml of methanol, next with a syringe put in 3ml of your bio-diesel, shake and your bio-diesel should dissolve and disappear and the methanol should remain clear.. If you have any amount of oil settle on the bottom of the bottle, this may indicate an incomplete reaction and it may need further reaction with a little more chemical and methanol to push it to 100% conversion.
• Assuming  you are past the conversion stage, next is washing with water, we must stress initial water washing must be done gently, failure to observe this simple rule most probably will result in chicken soup or at worst mayonnaise. After several washes you should now be getting clear water coming out, all that you have to do then is heat the excess moisture off along with any residual methanol, taking care to provide adequate ventilation.. Or you can use our new dry wash media BIOPURE, this product eliminates water washing .  It is far cheaper and less time consuming than water washing and can work out at less than 1 p per litre to clean your bio-diesel of residual contaminants and methanol,  giving you an end product that will help meet E.N. 14214 standard
