About this document
TOMS Biodiesel: Advanced Biofuel Technology by Clive Richardson is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes a novel biodiesel production process called TOMS that was patented by Janos Thesz. The process involves interesterification of triglycerides with alkyl esters to produce modified triglycerides with lower viscosity and better cold properties, as well as fatty acid esters. This allows 12-17% more fuel to be produced from the same amount of feedstock compared to conventional biodiesel. The process also retains the glycerol backbone and incorporates ethyl acetate moieties into the fuel.
