An automated method and apparatus for generation of biodiesel from vegetable oil. The generator includes at least three tanks for containing: A. vegetable oil feedstock; B. methanol; and C. glycerol by-product, respectively, together with a dry wash for the product biodiesel. The respective tanks are preloaded with pre defined quantities of vegetable oil feedstock; methanol; and sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Dry sodium or potassium hydroxide is swept from a feeder compartment into the methanol tank B. Pre-programmed controllers automate every stage of the operating sequence without operator intervention. |
