Title: Fatbergs to fuel
Post by: Tony on June 28, 2017, 10:52:46 AM

Spotted this on the BBC site, turning some really nasty muck into biodiesel.

Interesting that they get 30 tons of fatberg per week from one water treatment plant and there are 8999 plants in the UK.  At 25% yield that's a potential 60 million liters of fuel a week!

Think I'll stick with restaurant oil though, thanks all the same...

WOW, the finished product looks nearly as light coloured as my bio! I bet they distill the bio.
