Free Fatty Acid Test Kit - FG-K17100-KW

The Free Fatty Acid value of oil determines how much catalyst to use during biodiesel production. In this manner, catalyst use is optimised and biodiesel conversion can be maximised. As biodiesel is stored, it can acidify, reducing energy output and potentially leading to corrosion of storage vessels and fuel system components. The Total Acid Number (TAN) is used to monitor this acidity and ensure the biodiesel meets specification. Free Fatty Acid: - Check oil base stock for acid levels to optimise catalyst addition during manufacture. - Check the quality of used oil base stocks at point of delivery. TAN: - Ensure the biodiesel meets specification. - Check stored fuel for degradation. Range: 0-3.5%FFA, 0-6 TAN Test Time: 2 mins No of Tests: 25 Replacement Reagents: FG-K24743-KW The Free Fatty Acid Test Kit from Kittiwake is the ideal onsite quick test for acid level checks.
