Re: Synthetic oilHello All. >

Graham,
From what has been posted, I doubt that here will be any difference in the processing of this oil into biodiesel. As part of the hydrogenation, the increase in sarturation of the oil will cause the melting point to increase. This will have a similar effect on any biodiesel made from this oil.
Be sure to check the melting point of the oil and of the biodiesel made from it.

TroyH, Thanks for the description of Trans Vs Cis fatty acids. I was searching for something simple, to explain this.

Regards,
Tony
