Biodiesel Company In The Dr

[membruce]

If they are generating electricity, then why not burn the WVO strait without conversion?

Let me ask the DR1 members ...
Do any of supply, or do you know of anyone who supplies WVO (waste vegetable oil) to this business? A restaurant perhaps?
Do any of you receive, or do you know of anyone who receives biodiesel from this business?
Have any of you used, or do you know of anyone who is using this biodiesel in a generator for power generation, that has not been engineered or reverse engineered for this? I do know there are sometimes problems specifically with the injectors.

and lastly,

Have any of you visited the premise or seen the various reactors?
Does anyone know about the tax incentives for using biodiesel in the DR?

OK, why all of these questions? Simply because I can ... and something feels strange/funny to me. Yes, yes, I know .. too many years on DR1 will do that to you! Make you strange/funny!

Well, if they're located near Puerto Plata maybe some of us could take a look? I couldn't find it in the phone book, though.

There are one or two things going down about Bio-diesel at the moment so I would be interested in getting myself up to date on this company. Drop me a PM/e-mail or respond here Andyman & I'll make contact with you. My Stateside contact will be down later this month & I am sure will be happy to discuss things with you! ~ Grahame.

Several processes have to be carried out before straight WVO can be used as an alternative fuel (for comercial use)...

There are a lot of members interest in what you are doing. I agree with Chris that that you should invite some people that are known on the forum to tour your facilities. Being a business person, I am know that you realize the importance of confirming that all is what it seems to be. You should also be able to provide a verifiable history of the business experience of the companies leadership.

I have the following concerns about your statements.

1)You say that you are using solar to heat your oil. To do this on a commercial scale would be highly expensive. It would also be vary revolutionary. Have you made any press releases?
2)You say that you have a large number of reactors scattered around the country. This doesn't make economic since to me. The reactors expensive and economies of scale are a strong influence.
3)You say that SVO (Strait Veritable Oil) needs processing before it can be ran (commercially). SVO is burned strait simply by adding a preheater to the engine fuel line and filtering the particulate mater. This is done even on large co-generation facility's at food processing factory's.

If you are doing this successfully then you are my hero. However, I don't want to insult but I think that you understand the need for verification in business.

OOOPs - That should have been "(Strait Vegetable Oil)" not "(Strait Veritable Oil)"

What do you use the fuel in, generators or tractors or trucks or all of it? Is there a large market?

I have PM'd you, I will be in DR tomorrow.

I don't think anyone answered this question. Are you going to sell the bio diesel fuel for use in cars and trucks?

Anything Diesel.
