		Biodiesel purification: separation from the biodiesel of the wastes (catalyst and soap): washing and drying the biodiesel.
		Almost all biodiesel is produced using base catalyzed transesterification as it is the most economical process requiring only low temperatures and pressures and producing a 98% conversion yield.
		Once separated from the glycerin, the biodiesel is sometimes purified by washing gently with warm water to remove residual catalyst or soaps, dried, and sent to storage.

	Bio-Diesel
		Biodiesel is a diesel fuel substitute produced from renewable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oils.
		Biodiesel is typically produced through the reaction of a vegetable oil or animal fat with methanol or ethanol in the presence of a catalyst to yield glycerin and biodiesel (chemically called methyl or ethyl esters).
		Biodiesel at Dancing Rabbit - Given that our only motorized vehicle right now is a diesel van we have chosen to focus our energy now on biodiesel, with plans to look into methanol, ethanol, and biogas soon.

	Utah Biodiesel Supply - Getting Started Making Biodiesel
		Biodiesel processors come in many different shapes, sizes, configurations, and materials.
		I've used several styles of biodiesel processors but have found that processors made from an electric water heater and a simple pump seem to be the cheapest and easiest method to get started with.
		A good processor will have the ability to transfer filtered oil into the reaction vessel, be able to heat it to a consistent level, have the ability to mix in chemicals in a metered fashion, and then have the ability to drain off the glycerin that will be produced.
