Determining the Oxidation Stability of Biodiesel Produced from High Stability Oils

Oxidation stability analyzer ordered and received. High stability soybean oil obtained which will allow for high stability canola and soybean oils to be compared. Future work will be the detailed study of the effect of the oil composition on the fuel composition and oxidation stability. The project also will start generating used cooking oil from these high stability samples so that effect of used high stability oils on the biodiesel production process and resultant fuel can be determined.
