| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the River Oaks Country Club in Houston, Texas, focusing on their utilization of equipment to convert waste vegetable oil into biodiesel fuel. States that "for years, the club had paid to have the waste oil removed, and with some companies paying for used oil, it was determined that an even better solution would be to convert the used oil to biodiesel." Describes the selection of the Evolution Biodiesel company located in Huntsville, Texas, which provided staff training on how to correctly use their equipment. Provides a seven-step method for using the converting equipment, including: oil collection and storage; filtering the oil; heating the waste oil; titration; proper mixing of the methanol and KOH (potassium hydroxide); removing the glycerin; water washing; and drying the final product. Concludes that "biodiesel is not only a great way to reuse waste oil, but it also saves the club thousands of dollars in fuel expense [expenses]." |
