WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/146041
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for determining the suitability of an acid oil or fat as a renewable fuel for combustion in a compression ignition engine, the method comprising: (a) measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) value at 60°C and acid number (AN) value of a sample of the acid oil or fat; (b) determining whether the values fall in the hatched region in Figure 2; and (c) if the values fall in the hatched region, determining that the acid oil or fat is suitable for combustion in a compression ignition engine.
