Tank Depot -||- Harlequin 10000BFA BioFuel Station Arctic Bunded BioDiesel Tank

Tank Depot -||- Harlequin 10000BFA BioFuel Station Arctic Bunded BioDiesel Tank: "Product Overview

Harlequin BioFuel Stations are the first of a new generation of storage tank, developed especially for the safe, secure and environmentally responsible storage of up to B100 Grade (100%) BioDiesel, in accordance with the Summer and Winter CFPP fuel requirements as defined in British Standard BS EN14214.

Fully bunded and manufactured from an advanced, BioDiesel resistant grade of Medium Density Polyethylene Plastic – Harlequin BioFuel Stations are fully compliant with the most demanding British and European Regulations, including The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 and The Water Environment (Oil Storage) Scotland Regulations 2006.

Arctic Grade Harlequin BioFuel Stations have been engineered for use in cold weather conditions, where the temperature may fall below the Cold Filter Plug Point (CFFP) of stored BioDiesel. An insulated inner tank and thermostatically controlled heat trace system can maintain the properties of stored fuel in temperatures as below -20°C. CFPP is the temperature at or below which the fuel may begin to cause operational problems with a vehicle’s fuel system. Your BioDiesel supplier can advise of the CFPP specific to your fuel type."

Florida Rail Service To Run On Biodiesel - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

Florida Rail Service To Run On Biodiesel - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com: "Biodiesel is making commuter rail traffic in south Florida a little greener.

Tri-Rail, the commuter rail service connecting Miami with Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, announced this week that it was beginning to power most of its trains with biodiesel made from palm and soy oil, depending on the availability of each feedstock.

According to The Palm Beach Post, it is one of the first systems in the nation to do so.

Tri-Rail said the new fuel would cost no more than regular diesel because while it runs about 7 percent less efficiently it costs 10 to 30 cents less a gallon."

Biodiesel station, 'congreenience' store opening in Dover

Biodiesel station, 'congreenience' store opening in Dover: "STRATHAM — Simply Green Biofuels will open the first biodiesel refueling station and 'con-green-ience' store in the state next month.

'The station will be located at 547 Central Ave., Dover,' said Simply Green Manager Shannon Hill. 'It will be our first station and the first exclusively biodiesel station in the state.'

The station will feature gasoline made with 10 percent ethanol (E10), BioDiesel (both B5 and B20), and a convenience store model with a focus on local products.

Simply Green is taking what its owners call the '100 Mile Challenge' by committing to stock at least 75 percent of the congreenience store's inventory with products created within a 100-mile radius of Dover.

'This concept was second nature to us,' said Andrew Kellar, founder of Simply Green Biofuels. 'We want to provide a local option, not only for fuel, but for items that people use every day.

'Our customers can come in to shop and know that what they are buying is helping our local community, as well as reducing their own carbon footprint,' Kellar said."

Thailand Scientists Discover New Algae Species - Can Be Used to Produce Biodiesel : Gas 2.0

Thailand Scientists Discover New Algae Species - Can Be Used to Produce Biodiesel : Gas 2.0: "Researchers at Khon Kaen University (KKU) in Thailand have discovered a new species of algae, which could be used for the commercial production of biodiesel as early as April 2009.

The species, unimaginitively labelled KKU-S2, was found on the surface of a freshwater pond at the university, and was quickly identified as a promising source of alternative fuel. Speaking about the discovery, team-leader Dr Ratanaporn Leesing said, “We can extract oil from this species. Its properties are fit for biodiesel production. Within two days, the number of this alga can double, and within a week or two we can extract oil from it”"
