Biodiesel Testing is becoming a premium for companies. Many companies are focusing on costs and trying to keep quality high. The ASTM D 6751 tests help insure a quality product. Some tests like Oxidation Stability and Total Glycerine and Free Glycerine help producers maintain a quality product that is effective in all types of weather.  

  

Total & Free Glycerine test results can be broken down into monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides. This breakdown can help show clients where improvements can be made in their processes.  

  

Oxidation Stability is a test which measures oxidative rate of the product with response to air and light. The goal is to create a stable product so the oxidative rate remains consistent.  

  

Clients may also want to consider a biodiesel testing lab for cold tests in addition to Cloud Point. The Cold Filter Plugging Point and Cold Soak Filtration Test are two tests which clients may want to consider to help give an indication of potential cold issues which could have an impact on fuels.  

  

In addition, co-products in the areas of glycerin testing are becoming popular. Questions, send us a comment from the contacts page on this site.
