What is Biodiesel Calculator and Batch Tracking?

 

It is a Microsoft Access (see software requirements) program specifically written for anyone making Biodiesel.  The program will do all the calculations needed to create Biodiesel from Vegetable oils and prints out a conversion recipe.  If you use a balance beam type scale, you can enter your container Tera weight and the recipe will include scale settings.  It will also allow you to adjust the formulas, such as how much base catalyst to use, specify which type of catalyst, Lye (NaOH) or KOH.  In addition, the program will allow you to track and build historical information regarding your batches such as.....
