Product Description
Here is your authoritative guide to the business aspects of biodiesel, from the Federal Government! This unique guide, with a ringbound book and two CD-ROMs, combines the contents of Business Management for Producers and Biodiesel Handling and Use Guidelines, with an additional 56,000 pages of biodiesel coverage on the CD-ROMs. Every aspect of biodiesel is covered: an introduction to biodiesel, review of diesel fuel properties and characteristics, and an introduction to the liquid fuels production, marketing, and regulatory system. Business start-up issues are covered, with information on business plan development, financing, identification and development of markets, equipment and process planning as related to feedstocks and processes, inventory and management issues, legal and regulatory issues, taxation, environmental requirements and permitting, EPA registration, workplace safety issues, government incentive programs, operational concerns, biodiesel transportation and storage, feedstock acquisition, alternative feedstocks, glycerol, product quality, and making a profit. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines that is gaining attention in the United States after reaching a considerable level of success in Europe. Its primary advantages are that it is one of the most renewable fuels currently available and it is also non-toxic and biodegradable. Contents include: basics of production, basic organic chemistry, specifications, properties, plant, equipment, chemical plant controls, pretreatment of feedstocks, patents, post-reaction processing, treatment and recovery of side streams, logistics, feedstock preparation and quality, plant safety, transportation and storage, product quality, and an evaluation of biodiesel fuel bio-deterioration susceptibility to microorganisms. BUSINESS MANAGEMENT FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCERS "The material contained in this book is intended to provide the reader with information about biodiesel in four basic areas: 1) Biodiesel and the liquid fuels industry 2) Biodiesel business start-up issues 3) Legal and regulatory issues 4) Operational concerns. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines that is receiving great attention around the world. Although it attracts the most attention because it is renewable, it can be used either pure or in blends with diesel fuel in unmodified diesel engines, and it reduces some exhaust pollutants. BIODIESEL HANDLING AND USE guidelines for those who blend, distribute, and use biodiesel and biodiesel blends - fleets and individual users, blenders, distributors. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oils. Biodiesel is renewable, energy efficient, displaces petroleum derived diesel fuel, can be used in most diesel equipment with no or only minor modifications, can reduce global warming gas emissions, can reduce tailpipe emissions, including air toxics, is nontoxic, biodegradable, and suitable for sensitive environments, and is made in the United States from either agricultural or recycled resources. Biodiesel can be used in several different ways.

Not the ultimate guide it claims to be. September 2, 2009
R. Callahan (San Diego, CA USA)
I expected this to be the guide that would go into great detail on the process and equipment needed to make biodiesel. It does not. It does not provide even the most basic recipe that one can find for free on the internet. Save your money and look up the free resources on the internet if you are interested in making biodiesel at home.
