Domestic fuels production training

Sir,

When you mention Nigerians I have some very bad memories and I'm sure there are some very good people who live in Nigeria but the bad memories always seem to last longer than the good ones.

Our business was defrauded by a Nigerian gang for over $100,000 in a credit card fraud. I found out they are defrauding people out of millions every year. The Secret Service has a special Nigerian task force because it's so rampant.

While I'm at it...let me put in a word for the credit card processing company. (Retriever out of Houston, TX) They verbally approved the charges because I called in to verify the cards were good. No problem said they. Why do you bother calling...just use your credit card machine.

When I called them after the Secret Service told me the cards were bad, they cancelled our account and cleaned out our companies bank account. That's the reward I got for telling them about the scam. Not one ounce of help in trying to recover any of the lost merchandise or money.

While the Nigerians are bad so is the credit card processing company, their actions are just as egregious.

The Nigerian gangs are good at all types of fraud. I just read about an old customer of ours who lost about $250,000 to one of them with a fraudulant wire transfer.

THIS IS AN ENGINEERING SITE NOT A POLITICAL SITE!

What is your Engineering for if you cannot build nations, for every major project, the politicians must have their ways first, just think about it

Understanding your concern, I think this issue could be an important topic for the environment and clean fuels.The colombian government has recently encouraged the industry to mix regular naphta with ethanol in order to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, so the use of domestic fuel based on organic wastes could be further applied in combustion motors.

I will be happy to be part of this interesting project you have in mind. My experience has been with diesel:biodiesel (70:30) proved in a standard diesel motor during my BS studies.

Thanks for showing interest, the truth is that we do not have to waite for another Sunami, before we wake up, so that is the collaboration I am talking about. The forest around the world is under heavy pressure and desertification is on the rise just as the melting of ice at the poles, there is rise in the sea level and here we are looking. It is every bodys' problem.

I want to thank all who have contributed so far, I have already made contact with India for that piece of effort costing just over $200.00, I think the US Army stuff will be good too, I need to know the cost too.

I think it will be much cheaper and time saving to get this product down, make the producers make money and at the same time transfer the technology.

NGOs will be good to come in as usual

There are working plants converting edible and non edible vegetable oil in to what is called bio-diesel, operating in Singapore and India, to my knowledge. In US proto type plants are avilable for about 3000 dollars. In Sri Lanka a voluntary organisation is trying to promote the production as a rural community project using castor oil extracted from a wild form of castor seeds (jatropar). The process is a trans estarification using Sodium Hydroxide and Methyl Alcohol as catalysts. The organisation is trying to organise farming communities and land for cultivation of jatropar with the help of local administration. The organisation wants to start this project on non profit basis and any body who is interested could assist the project in whatever the way they could.

I could be able to direct any interested party to the organisation.

Guest. Sounds interesting for me. How can we get into the subject? Are you working by that organisation?

Jolsac,

No, I do not work for the organisation. I am a prctising Civil Engineer. A Medical Doctor is the convener of the organisation who happens to be a friend of mine. According to him there are agriculturists, academicians and community workers involved in the project and they all work on a voluntary basis.

If you are interested in getting in touch with one of them certainly I would help. Or else you could get any further details from me.

Guest.

I know about the process you mentioned above. What will be the procedure to get into the project? Will need some details to discuss with the person you consider is appropriate for the case, so how do you think will be the contact way?

Jolsac,

This is regarding the guest contribution for the project in Sri Lanka for bio diesel production. My e mail address is given below. So, that you may please give yours which I can pass on to the people concerned. They will be happy to be in touch with you. For the earlier postings, I signed up as a guest as I forgot my pass word.
