domusbiofuel,
I take the stuff that I drain out and distill the methanol out. I then reused this methanol in the next batch. I also mix the glycerin from base stages with what's drained from the acid stages to neutralize the acid. then distill the mix. -dkenny

hi dave
this is really helpfull. is there a difference between KOH and KAOH with acid esterification? can i use anything other than sulphuric(cheaper)? can the acid be re-used? also ive heard that high ffa oil is solid, mine is 54% but still liquid, but it is in the sun all day, would it go solid in the cold? this oil has never been cooked it is a by-product of sunflower production neil
