3. Biodiesel is an environmentally safe alternative to standard diesel fuel Diesel equivalent but processed from biological sources (vegetable oil and waste oils) B20 (20% Biodiesel, 80% standard diesel fuel) can be used in unmodified diesel engines Works as a solvent in fuel lines and fuel filters Engine manufactures cite less engine wear as benefit TEAM 12: Low-Cost, Portable, Off-Grid Biodiesel Production Plant Project Background

4. TEAM 12: Low-Cost, Portable, Off-Grid Biodiesel Production Plant Assemble a working model of our project Test the plant using virgin feedstock Implement our research and knowledge to redesign faulty or poorly working parts of the system Complete our final working model Test the system with dirty feedstock to verify actual system capabilities Compose the final project report and display board for the final open house. Restated Project Scope

5. TEAM 12: Low-Cost, Portable, Off-Grid Biodiesel Production Plant Titration Virgin Feedstock Redesigning faulty or poorly working system components System test with dirty feedstock Final chemical analysis Testing and Redesign
