The Biodiesel-Electric Project
WHAT: The Green Biodiesel-Electric Project will virtually eliminate reliance on commercial electrical power sources for residential, farm, ranch, commercial and light industrial use. It, will almost totally eliminate reliance on propane and/or electrical power for space and water heating and will provide fuel for diesel power equipment and vehicles. This model can be replicated by most farms and ranches and for many homeowners. Power from NorthWestern Energy will be switched off at the main electrical service, but left connected as a potential backup. The main breaker will be locked in the off position and access to the customer panel will be padlocked.
HOW: Green Oxy Fuels, LLP, will purchase from a private party, a complete Fuelmeister biodiesel batch biodiesel production plant capable of processing 40 gallons per batch. Up to three batches per week is projected. The system recycles waste vegetable fryer oil from restaurants and institutions. Green Oxy Fuels has permission from MSU – Bozeman, Food Service Division to collect all of the used fryer oil from its five kitchens on campus, which will yield approximately 120 gallons per week. The chemistry is based on transesterification of the long chain oil molecules into short chain esters and drops out the glycerol (gum). The raw biodiesel is then water washed which removes any remaining traces of catalyst, particulate matter and some of the alcohol.
This resulting biodiesel will then be used to fuel a small diesel electrical generator to supply all current needs of the house, including power needed for the Fuelmeister. This source of power eliminates the need for propane for cooking, space heating and water heating. The biodiesel will also provide fuel for diesel engines of biodiesel fuel customers. In the applicant's case, it will allow for the sale of the 1993 Toyota and the 1987 F250 which are gas and allow the applicant to re engine the 1985 F250 diesel with a newer, more powerful diesel engine. Biodiesel produced in excess of the applicant's needs will be sold to help service the loan and save on the use of fossil fuels. Such excess biodiesel will be sold for off-road use (red dyed) as B99 (untested). The primary customers will be contractors, farmers and ranchers for use in their off-road diesel machines and equipment.
