 There will be an event held in Melbourne on the 27th &28th of
October 2005 regarding biodiesel testing standards and methods. The
registration fee for this is $1250, inc. GST. Below is some
introduction text from the attached PDF.
There has been lots of discussion regarding application of the Biodiesel Standard test methods and the
variations seen in the results by the biodiesel and petroleum industry world-wide. As a direct result of the
wide variety of feedstocks being used in Australia, the subsequent variability and confusion in test method
results does not provide the clarity or assurance distributors, end-users and regulators need.
This course is designed to bring producers, labs, distributors and regulators together with perhaps the best
knowledge of the Australian biodiesel test methods in the world. Martin and his team have worked on virtually
all possible biodiesel feedstocks and is currently negotiating the development of new test methods for the EU.
Through this course, you will learn the importance and application of each of the test methods in the
Australian Standard with a focus on additives for Oxidative Stability and the Gas Chromatograph test methods
(Ester Content, Total and Free Glycerol). This will include hands-on preparation of samples and a workshop
on anyalysing/interpreting the results. There will even be a visit to the newly installed Cetane test unit – a first
of its kind for Australia.
Please download the PDF form for further info.
Or discuss this in the forum.
