Biodiesel Feedstock

Biodiesel Feedstock used to produce biodiesel can come from many sources and in many forms. It comes from animal fats including yellow grease, lard, chicken fat, and tallow. It also comes from virgin oils such as rapeseed, soybean, palm oil, coconut, mustard, jatropha, and hemp. In addition, waste vegetable oil (WVO), and algae are bioiesel feedstocks.

Demand for used vegetable oil for biodiesel production is increasing. Biodiesel from waste vegetable oil costs less to produce. However, due to suspended food particles in it, the oil requires pre-filtration to remove such impurities.

Before making biodiesel from waste vegetable oil, it should be titrated for each batch to ensure that you are using the right quantity of ingredients for maximum yield.


Free Fatty Acids (FFA) Test Strips: Ensuring adequate quality base feed stock is the key to successful biodiesel production.

Particularly useful in the field, these FFA testing strips help you quickly determine the suitability of the waste vegetable oil (wvo) for biodiesel production. Many use the test result to negotiate a lower price for WVO that shows high level of FFA content in the used oil being collected.
Also called Fryer Oil Test Strips and Shortening Monitor Indicator Strips, they are easy to use and give quick results that help determine the percentage level of Free Fatty Acids in your biodiesel feedstock. Each box contains 40 indicator strips (>2% to >7% level)

Simply dip the test strip into your oil and submerge it for 2 seconds. Remove the strip and count the number of bands without any blue color. It's that easy.


Hemp Biodiesel: One of the more controversial bioodiesel feedstocks is seeds from hemp. With hemp seeds containing about 30% oil as compared to about 18% for soybeans, some estimates indicate that the plants can produce approximately half ton seeds per acre.

Technically, hemp biodiesel is a renewable source of energy. However, production is restricted and production costs are prohibitive.

The color of hemp biodiesel is green which, ironically symbolizes green product. But the advantages end there. Degradation of hemp biodiesel as a fuel occurs faster than the biodiesel produced from other feedstocks. In addition, there are no known distinct advantages in using hemp based biodiesel over other traditional sources of biodiesel feedstock.

As a result, under current conditions, oil from hemp seeds can not be considered a commercially viable feedstock for the production of biodiesel fuel.
