Tomsk Scientists Find a Way to Develop Biodiesel Recipes Without Laboratory Tests
Published
Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have proposed a new method for producing biodiesel that meets the European standard EN 14214. The main advantage of the method is that it does not require costly laboratory testing.
Biodiesel is fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats. The EN 14214 standard sets out the quality requirements for such fuel. Normally, to check whether a new recipe meets these requirements, many tests must be carried out, which takes time and costs a great deal of money.
The basis of the new methodology is the selection of oils for the blend. The researchers propose using certain calculations that help determine in advance which composition will produce the required fuel properties. This approach makes it possible to reduce the number of experiments and find a suitable recipe more quickly.
The development by Tomsk scientists may be useful to producers of alternative fuels, as it simplifies and reduces the cost of the biodiesel creation process. Details about the application of the methodology and its further development have not yet been announced.
