ASTM-D6751: The grade of fuel approved for sale by the US Federal Gov't.
B20: A blend of biodiesel and diesel containing 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel (the B stands for biodiesel and the number stands for the percentage in the blend.
B99: 99% biodiesel
B100: what the BioPro equipment makes.
Biodiesel: A clean burning fuel that can be made from a long list of vegetable and animal oils and which will run in any diesel engine.
Diesel fuel: Petroleum based fuel.
Drywash systems: Any system, like the SpringPro™ T76, that uses solid media to filter and clean biodiesel after the reactions, obviating the need to wash the fuel using water.
Duel reaction: An acid reaction (esterification) followed by a base reaction (transesterification), allowing dirtier oils to be converted into ASTM grade biodiesel. Also sometimes referred to as the acid/base reaction.
Emulsion: a mixture of biodiesel, water and soap.
Esterification: an acid reaction usually performed by adding an alchohol and an acid to a feedstock oil
Feedstock oil: Any oil that can be converted into biodiesel fuel including but not limited to used cooking oil (UCO), animal fats, canola oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, etc.
Flash point: the temperature at which a liquid is ingitable when sparked.
FFA: Free fatty Acid
Greenhouse gas emissions: What we're trying to reduce.
Lubricity: the quality of lubrication in a fuel.
MIUs: A measurement of the volume of contaminents found in a feedstock oil, specifically, Moisture and volatiles, Insoluble Impurities and Unsaponifiables.
Particulate matter: That which is emitted from fuels which can cause respiratory illness.
RINs: Renewable Identification Numbers. RINs are the credits that the US EPA uses to track and enforce compliance with the renewable fuels mandates set by the RFS in the US. RINs are records of individual batches of renewable fuel being blended into the gasoline and diesel pools. RINs are created when a batch of renewable fuel is made.
SVO: Straight vegetable oil.
Titration: A method for determining the free fatty acid content of a feedstock oil.
Transesterification: A base reaction usually performed by adding a mixutre of alchohol and sodium or potassium hydroxide
ULSD: Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel.
Viscosity: A measurement of the resistence of a fluid to flow
WVO: Waste Vegetable oil.
