The source of triglycerides is reacted with a blended alcohol composition in the presence of a catalyst to form a mixture of at least one fatty acid alcohol ester and glycerin. The fatty acid alcohol ester is then separated from the glycerin and is purified to produce a biofuel. The blended alcohol composition comprises at least one lower alcohol, a ketone and ethyl acetate. The use of the blended alcohol composition allows the transesterification process to proceed under ambient temperature and pressure conditions within a relatively short reaction time. | 02-25-2010 |

20150338329 | BULK MODULUS MEASUREMENT AND FLUID DEGRADATION ANALYSIS - An apparatus and method to analyze fluid degradation in a closed system is disclosed. The method includes collection of a sample fluid from the closed system. The sample fluid collected is maintained at a sample fluid pressure, which is substantially equivalent to a pressure of the closed system. Thereafter, a change of a volume of the sample fluid is caused, which generates a change in the sample fluid pressure. A series of sample fluid pressures and volumes of the sample fluid are taken. Next, a bulk modulus of the sample fluid is determined. The bulk modulus of the sample fluid is compared with a baseline bulk modulus. Lastly, the method involves generation of a communication when the bulk modulus of the sample fluid breaches a tolerance. | 11-26-2015 |

20150352562 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF RE-PROCESSING METAL PRODUCTION BY-PRODUCT - A re-processing method for isolating a marketable free iron product and a non-metallic co-product from small-particulate metal production by-product is provided. The re-processing method may be adapted so that the resulting free iron product is marketable granules of various sizes and properties. The method may include refining the metal production by-product into a suitably sized and spaced feedstock. The feedstock may be fed into the system and, through exposure to a first magnetic field, isolated into a first free iron product and a first co-product. The first free iron product may continued through the system so as to further isolate into a second free iron product and a second co-product through exposure to a second magnetic field. The second free iron product may be the marketable granules of free iron product, while the first co-product and the second co-product may be combined and further isolated in the marketable non-metallic co-product. The re-processing method may be iterative in that the resulting second free iron product may be analyzed for determining beneficial modifications that can be made to the feedstock refinement and/or the first and/or second magnetic field isolation steps of the underlying method. | 12-10-2015 |
