DESCRIPTION
The entire process of producing biofuel is demonstrated with the Armfield Bio-Fuel kit in the form of student experiments.
The suitcase contains all necessary parts and components and can be used from any location. Our first step is resource selection and fermentation. The resulting mash is then distilled with the custom-built condenser and the resulting ethanol will be characterized.
Lastly, the produced bio fuel needs to be converted into usable energy – for example into electricity with the provided ethanol fuel cell.
The Armfield Biofuel kit does not only cover bio ethanol production but also the generation of biodiesel through transesterification of fats.
EXPERIMENTAL CONTENT
Biofuel experiments:
- Production of biodiesel (FAME) from fats and oils
- Extraction of fats from groceries or oil plants
