GET YOUR ENERGY FROM A BUSHEL, NOT A
BARREL. Expanded use for Soybean crops in
America

• 1 bushel (60 LBS.) of soybeans creates 1.4
  gallons of pure biodiesel (B100)

3
Soy Biodiesel Derived from virgin soybean oil.
Biodiesel - Fuel or fuel component made from
yellow grease, recycled cooking oil, animal fats,
canola seed, sunflower seed, and a variety of
other vegetable oils.
Terminology
4
Soybean oil is converted to a methyl ester by
removing glycerin, fatty acids and soap stock
from the oil these by-products will plug fuel
filters and possibly harm diesel engines.Methyl
ester mixes well with petroleum diesel

Definition of Biodiesel

• Chemically
• Mono Alkyl Ester
• Functionally
• Alternative fuel for
• Petroleum Diesel
• Nomenclature
• B100 100 pure Biodiesel
• B20 20 Biodiesel / 80 petroleum diesel
• B5 5 Biodiesel / 95 petroleum diesel
• B2 2 Biodiesel / 98 petroleum diesel

• Meets ASTM D6751
• Standards
• and
• is produced by a
• BQ 9000 Facility.

6
Key Physical PropertiesB100

• Contains less than 15 ppm sulfur
• No aromatics, reduced emissions
• High Cetane (50 )
• High lubricity
• Biodegradable
• Non-toxic
• High flash point, (over 260 F)
• Comparable BTU value to Diesel

7
BIODIESEL Blends

• 5 (B5) is a blend of 5 biodiesel
• with 95 petroleum diesel.
• 20 (B20) is a blend of 20 biodiesel
• with 20 petroleum diesel.
• While other blends are also acceptable, 2
  Blend (B2) is a very economical way to optimize
  lubricity
• that was lost with the new ultra low
• diesel fuel in todays marketplace.

8
Solvency Impact of Biodiesel

• Biodiesel will clean sediments and accumulated
  deposits existing in fuel storage tanks, fuel
  lines, fuel pumps and on all fuel system
  surfaces.
• Once sediments are cleaned from the fuel
  injection system, system will perform more
  efficiently, increase power, and reduce fuel
  consumption.
• 20 Biodiesel Blend - filter changes happen in
• 2 of cases when first starting up.
• 5 Biodiesel Blend no changes realized in filter
  plugging. Recommend starting at 5 Blend.

9
Materials Compatibility

• 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 of B20 - Effect is less,
• Blends of B5 or less - NON EXISTENT
• Normal monitoring of hoses and gaskets for leaks
  is sufficient with B20 or less.

10
COLD Weather Handling
Handle B2 / B5 / B20 identical to Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel Fuel No. 2 during the winter

• Blend with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel 1
• Add Anti-Gel / Anti-Deicier Additive to
  lower diesel fuel pour point.
• 50 Biodiesel and 50 ULSD 1
  will result in a CFPP of 5 Degrees F.

11
Splash Blending

• Biodiesel is slightly heavier than petroleum
  diesel with a specific gravity value of 0.88
  versus 0.85 for petroleum diesel.
• When possible Biodiesel should be splash blended
  on top of petroleum diesel
• Blends will not separate in cold weather EXCEPT
  in EXTREME temperature difference. Once mixed,
  stays mixed.

12
Why use Biodiesel?
1.) Reduce Dependence on Foreign
Oil 2.) Reduce Emissions 3.) Increase Lubricity
in the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel 4.)
Extend Equipment Life 5.) Expanded use for
American made product Soybeans!
13
Exceptional Lubricity
2 of Biodiesel will replace all the lubricity in
the fuel that was lost when the Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel Fuel was required as the STANDARD ON-ROAD
FUEL. Get lubrication without giving up
horsepower, torque or mileage.
14
Exceptional Lubricity

• Fuel provides the ONLY source of lubrication for
• Fuel Rotary Pumps
• Distributor fuel injection Pumps
• Fuel Partially lubricates
• Unit injectors
• Injectors
• Unit pumps
• In-line pumps

15
Exceptional Lubricity

• Biodiesel Lubricity
• At 2 (B2) lubricity levels is 66 higher than
  Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel No. 2 fuel.
• Is especially key in the winter. Ultra Low
  Sulfur 1 diesel fuel is very DRY (Less lubricity
  than ULSD 2).

16
Biodiesel Advantages- Recap

• Reduces emissions
• Reduce Dependence on Foreign Oil
• Replace Lubricity lost in the ULSD Fuel
• Completely miscible with petroleum diesel
• Compatible with the compression ignition platform
  of todays diesel engines.
• Adaptable to existing petroleum infrastructure

17

• Since 3rd Annual Green Vehicles Workshop
• Positives
• City of Milw. DPW using Biodiesel since August
  2006 without any issues / problems.
• Biodiesel Manufacturing Plant being built in
  Wisconsin
• Pulp Manufacturing Facility - Forklift Trucks
  operating in enclosed warehouse has reduced
  emissions that employees breathe and reduced
  product contamination from diesel fuel particles.
• Increased awareness by general population.
• Negatives
• Availability of Biodiesel at a Fuel Station in
  S.E. Wisconsin /
  Metro Area for end users.
• Price of base (raw product) soybean oil.
• NO State of Wisconsin incentives to expand market
