New Inventors

This is on the ABC TV new inventors tonight at 8 pm.
http://www.biofuelpartnership.com/biocube.html

The BioCube is a compact self-contained machine, the size of a 10ft ISO shipping container, that expels oil from raw oil feedstock, then processes the oil by a continuous Lurgi transesterification reaction and filtration to produce international standard biodiesel.
Biodiesel produced by the BioCube meets European EN14214 standard if the feedstock quality permits.
Based on a 10-hour production day, the machine is designed to operate for a minimum of five years in hostile tropical environments with no major intervention, whilst being operated by unskilled labour specifically trained to operate the machine. It will produce 1,500 - 2,000 litres of biodiesel per day from an estimated six tons of Jatropha feedstock.
