Abstract

A process, method, apparatus and materials for efficient conversion of waste vegetable oils into biofuel that does not use methanol as a reactant or catalyst. The resulting biofuel is mixed with kerosene or heavy oil to form a stable diesel fuel grade fuel that is mixable with diesel fuel. In addition, the process and apparatus are also applicable to the conversion of virgin vegetable oils and other waste or virgin oils, such as used motor oil, into fuels or fuel additives.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Biofuel is a type of fuel made using non-petroleum based oils converted to allow combustion within power plants and engines as a replacement for heavy oils and diesel fuel. Biofuels have desirable burning characteristics and are derived from renewable resources. For example, biofuels may be derived from vegetable oils processed from crops.

[0002] Vegetable oils are used extensively in food preparation in restaurants, hotels, hospitals and other large institutions. The use of vegetable oils in food preparation generates substantial waste product that must be appropriately disposed of. Processing of these waste vegetable oils into biofuel thus serves two beneficial purposes, creation of a clean and environmentally friendly fuel source and the elimination of waste disposal requirements.

[0003] To understand the scope of the potential use of the present invention it is beneficial to appreciate the extent of the generation of waste vegetable oils in our...
