Algae And Jatropha Oil For Biofuel
All petroleum comes from algae that lived and died in shallow oceans eons ago. People can grow this and other oils for energy in the same way that we grow food. Please note that pressed oil needs little or no filtering. See that the sediment is settling out of the jatropha. Oil doesn't like to be with other things.
Commercial Jatropha Oil Extraction (Part 2)
Here is an extraction rate of 1 gallon per minute of jatropha oil with a 55J press and a 90J working together. That translates into about $3 million of oil per year if the two presses are run continuously. 6% of the oil is used to fuel the harvesting and extraction equipment. Jatropha oil has 150% the BTU energy of standard diesel and jet fuel. However, the oil is toxic, and the beans are toxic. Since the toxin is in the oil, once the oil is extracted, the pressmeal is edible for livestock ...
Commercial Jatropha Oil Extraction (Part 1)
Here are California-grown jatropha beans pressed for oil with the small test press (40J) at a 5 gallon per hour rate. The medium (55J) and large (90J) press behind it can press 3x and 10x this amount of oil respectively. Please see Part 2 of this video to see that rate of extraction. Jatropha oil has 150% the BTU energy of standard diesel and jet fuel. However, the oil is toxic, and the beans are toxic. Since the toxin is in the oil, once the oil is extracted, the pressmeal is edible for ...
