Expanded use for Soy crops 1 bushel of soybeans creates 1.4 gallons of pure biodiesel(B100)
Soy Biodiesel –Derived from virgin soybean oil Biodiesel - Fuel or fuel component made from recycled cooking oil, animal fats, and a variety of vegetable oils Terminology
Soybean oil is converted to a “methyl ester” by removing glycerin, which can otherwise harm enginesMethyl ester mixes very well with petroleum diesel Biodiesel manufacturing
Chemically Mono Alkyl Ester Functionally Surrogate for petroleum distillates Nomenclature B100 = 100% pure Biodiesel, AKA “neat” B20 – 20% Biodiesel / 80% petroleum diesel What its not……. Vegetable oil Mixture of vegetable oil and diesel fuel Mixture of esters and diesel E-Diesel Water in oil emulsions Definition of Biodiesel
Contains less than 15 ppm sulfur No aromatics, reduced emissions High Cetane, (over 50) High lubricity Biodegradable Non-toxic High flash point, (over 260° F) Comparable BTU value Key Physical Properties—B100
Biodiesel mayclean sediments and accumulated materials existing on fuel system surfaces Once sediments are cleaned from the system, filter changes will return to normal B20 filter changes happen in 2% of cases when first starting up, B2 no changes realized Solvency Impact of Biodiesel
B100 may adversely affect some elastomers such as natural or nitrile rubbers over time Most elastomers used after 1993 are compatible with B100 (Viton/Teflon) Blends (B20) effect is less, B-5 or less is non-existent Normal monitoring of hoses and gaskets for leaks is sufficient with B20 Materials Compatibility
Blends • B2 is a blend of 2% soy biodiesel • with 98% petroleum diesel • While other blends are also acceptable , B2 is a very economical way to optimize lubricity. B2, B5-B20 are most • common
Extended equipment life Handle B2 identical to No. 2 during the winter: • Blend with No. 1 or Kerosene • Add pour point depressants • Store vehicles indoors or use block heaters
Biodiesel is slightly heavier than petroleum diesel with a gravity value of 0.88 versus 0.85 When possible Biodiesel should be splash blended on top of petroleum diesel Blends will not separate in the presence of water however execute proactive tank management. Once mixed, stays mixed. Splash Blending
Why use B2 soy biodiesel? • Exceptional lubricity • Extended equipment life • Expanded use for Soy crops
Exceptional lubricity Get lubrication without giving up: • Horsepower • Torque • Mileage • Merchman Seed Company has seen a 1½ • percent increase in fuel economy in their fleet
Exceptional lubricity • Fuel provides the ONLY source of lubrication for: • Rotary pumps • Distributor fuel injection pumps • Fuel partially lubricates: • Unit injectors • Injectors • Unit pumps • In-line pumps
Exceptional lubricity • Biodiesel lubricity: • At B2 levels is 66% higher than No. 2 diesel • Cannot be overdosed • Is especially key in the winter
Completely miscible with petroleum diesel Compatible with the compression ignition platform Improves emissions profile Enhances catalyst performance Power and performance virtually unchanged Adaptable to existing petroleum infrastructure Biodiesel Advantages- Recap
