Concept Definition – Biodiesel ¡ ¡ ¡ Sub-Team Chris Chaput Scott Rishell Jeff Hoover ¡ Objective l l l To use RIT dining facilities existing waste vegetable oil (WVO) in producing usable biodiesel for campus vehicles To save $$ in amount of used diesel fuel Provide certain educational benefit for class learning from example
Refining Process Diagram p. H Temp Methanol Reservoir Lye Reservoir Mixing Tank Waste Vegetable Oil Reservoir Glycerin Drain Operator Input Washing Tank Valve Control Pump Bio-Diesel Storage Tank Daq and Control Software
Concept Selection Process ¡ ¡ Marked out a general process flow Determined potential usable amounts of WVO from sources Considered placement of operations Benchmarking of a commercial biodiesel processor l Weighted certain needs ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Pump station included Automated process Make batches of 70+ gallons Require low operator time Robustness Quality control (15%) (30%) (20%) (10%) (5%) (20%) Estimated cost of materials for creating a single batch
Rough Cost Analysis ¡ ¡ ¡ A Biodiesel processor can pay for itself in little over 1/2 year in fuel savings Serves as an example of alternative fuel in use Product is cheaper when WVO is collected in greater quantities.
Rough Financial Requirements ¡ ¡ ¡ Major cost contributors: l Tanks: $350 l Tubing: $200 l Pumps: $200 l Immersion heater: $200 l Valves: $200 Operation costs: ~$200/week Initial Investment total: ~$2000
