Entry Level Biomass Diesel Fuel Manufacturing For Fleet Managers

Fleet supervisors from many different companies and municipal city managers have been taking a look at biodiesel in an effort to help save fuel cost and lower their emissions.

Bio-diesel is produced from soybean and various vegetable oils like corn, mustard, flaxseed, sunflower, camelina and now algal oil. These are all renewable resources that are produced in America.

The downside to using retail biodiesel is cost. Whenever you purchase biodiesel at a fuel station it is approximately 20 cents more per gallon when compared with petroleum diesel. As much as 50 cents of this cost is a result of local tax and fuel transportation fees.

To eliminate those fees many fleet managers are opting for on-site biodiesel production. Some city managers have even set up waste cooking oil collection centers that make it easy to recycle the waste vegetable oil. All of this effort has a enormous pay off to the fleet managers bottom line.

As a fleet supervisor with more than 150 pieces of heavy duty machinery, including 18 wheelers, dump trucks, ambulances, bulldozers and large mowing tractors. This biofuel system can really improve the operation of transportation equipment and have tremendous impact on the environment even with a B-20 biodiesel blend.

When compared with compressed natural gas; propane; E-85, which is an alcohol mix gasoline, biodiesel does not require expensive equipment alterations to storage tanks, vehicles or other infrastructures or additional spare parts. Biodiesel is a true plug and play fuel alternative.

The first step to making biodiesel as a fleet manager is the availability of raw ingredients, such as vegetable or animal grease of some sort, methanol or ethanol for the Transesterification process and after that it will be time to acquire a biodiesel plant to handle your production goals.

A high quality commercial biodiesel processor will allow you to have full automation, safety features and methanol recovery all in one compact package. The physical footprint of these machines is usually small so the plant manufacturing space can be used efficiently.

When biodiesel is used, it releases no net Co2 into the environment because the plants form the oil that is used in biodiesel production, these plants sequester the same amount of Co2 from the environment then is released when the biodiesel is burnt as fuel in vehicles. Biodiesel is the only serious candidate for sustainable energy that will help the environment and mankind.
