offer plenty of space.

Some come prewired for electricity, and have windows for ventilation, though this can also be added to other models. Regardless of where we decide to put our production equipment, ensure that there is plenty of room for the processor and other assorted necessities.

3.1.2. Safety Goggles

These handy little devices will keep biodiesel, lye and methanol out of our eyes during production. Lye is specially caustic and can cause blindness if care is not exercised during use.

3.1.3. Chemical Resistant Apron

Yes, it is necessary to wear an apron while concocting our fuel. By eliminating contact between skin/clothing and our chemicals, we can help ensure our safety. The apron chosen should be of vinyl and long enough to come just above our knees.

3.1.4. Protective Gloves

Never, handle biodiesel or additives without the aid of heavy-duty protective gloves. In addition, rubber gloves are not a viable choice due to the corrosive effects of biodiesel on rubber. Nit riles PVC gloves are a good choice. These are disposable and should not degrade due to contact with biodiesel.

3.1.5. Heavy Clothing

Finally, make sure that heavy clothing should be wear during production. Wear jeans, a long-sleeved shirt and appropriate foot wear. Heavier clothing helps eliminate inadvertent contact with biodiesel and associated chemicals.

3.1.6. Face mask

Wearing a face mask can help reduce the amount of vapours we inhale. In addition never work with biodiesel without proper ventilation. Ensure that there are several open windows in

our work area to allow vapours to be dissipated. A SCUBA apparatus is the best choice, as organic canisters do not filter out methanol fumes.

Fossil fuels are one of the major sources of energy in the world today. Their popularity can be accounted to easy usability, availability and cost effectiveness. But the limited reserves of fossil fuels are a great concern owing to fast depletion of the reserves due to increase in worldwide demand. Fossil fuels are the major source of atmospheric pollution in todays world. So efforts are on to find alternative sources for this depleting energy source. Even though new technologies have come up which have made solar, wind or tidal energy sources easily usable but still they are not so popular due to problems in integration with existing technology and processes. So, efforts are being directed towards finding energy sources which are similar to the present day fuels so that they can be used as direct substitutes. Diesel fuel serves as a major source of energy, mainly in the transport sector. Fossil fuels are one of the major sources of energy in the world today.

Diesel fuel serves as a major source of energy, mainly in the transport sector. Bio-diesel is replacement fuel that is manufactured from vegetable oils, recycled cooking oils and animal fats. Because plants produced oils from sunlight and air, and we can do so year after year on crop land, these oils are renewable. Animal fats are produced when the animal consumes plant oils and other fats and they are renewable. As per ASTM, bio-diesel is chemical composed of mono alkyl ester as long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils and recycled cooking oils and animal fats. The bio-diesel thus obtained is designated at B100. Linseed oil, jathropa, sunflower oil, neem-oil are commonly used oil for production of bio-diesel.
