Week 5

     During this week we are continuing to try to figure out which two methods we will be combining, we are also trying to determine how we will test the purity of the product we make (which should be clean biofuel + water, since we're not focusing on drying the biofuel)

Dry Wash:
  1. Magnesol
  2. ION exchange
  3. Air washing
  4. Resin Tower
  5. Sawdust
Water Wash
  1. Static
  2. Pump
  3. Mist
  4. Bubble
 Purity tests
  • pH test
  • clarity test (cloudy vs. clear)
  • shake test (shake and see how cloudy)
