How is BioWatz different from methanol/ethanol manufacture?
Methanol/ethanol products are a combustible alcohol that can be blended with gasoline. The BioWatz product is a clean, volatile oil blended with diesel fuel. BioWatz biodiesel is safer, more stable and has many other advantages over an E 85 (ethanol) blend. BioWatz biodiesel is prepared in a water-free process ensuring low water content: water content is a common problem with E 85 ethanol blends. What are the generator(s) consumption/output rates? The generator produces a baseline 225 kW of power at a consumption rate of 18.2 gallons of diesel per kWh. Biodiesel consumption vs. power generated is one of the main variables being explored in the BioWatz project. Each biodiesel tank holds 330 gallons of fuel (2,409 lbs.). At 100% load fuel consumption rate of 18.2 gallons per hour, the expected time that the genset can run on one tank is 18.1 hours. For more information on results, check out www.biowatz.com.
