I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
a. Basic Concept
This Project adopts the concept of a Village-Scale Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) Bio-Fuel Plant.
Processing capacity is 60 liters per hour (LPH) or 1,440 liters per day (LPD) assuming 24 hours continuous operation.
Blended with 10% regular petro-diesel fuel, the end-product is a "clean and green" bio-fuel that can be used directly as diesel engine fuel in stationary diesel engines and in most indirect injection (IDI) diesel-fed automotive vehicles without any further blending with petro-diesel fuel or any alteration of the fuel systems
b. Purpose and Objectives
The project shall produce and profitably sell to consumers in the immediate community where it is based, a vegetable oil-based alternative fuel to substitute up to 90% of petro-diesel consumption of diesel engines, at adequate volumes and at the same price as petro-diesel fuel.
The ultimate purpose is to serve the country and the people by contributing to:
1. the reduction of the operating cost of transport and other industries that will redound to decreased costs of goods and services and improved purchasing power of the peso;
2. a significant increase in the use of indigenous and renewable energy resources, thereby reducing importation of petro-diesel fuel and improving the balance of payment situation; and
3. the shift to clean and green fuels leading to the improvement of over-all environmental quality.
c. Plant Site
The plant is ideally located in or close to an urban area but not necessarily in the city or town center.
Being a small-scale plant with no large motors or engines used and no hazardous chemicals and very minimal process wastes, the plant can be located even in non-commercial/industrial zones, e.g., a low-density residential area.
The final products can be delivered to the target outlets: e.g., garage/service stations of organized transport groups, diesel-fired plants, fishing ports.
The minimum requirements are:
1. road accessibility
2. sufficient power and water supply,
3. and adequate land area of at least 500 sqm and a building area of 100 sqm.
If available at affordable rates, a land parcel with an existing building will be the most ideal for a quick start-up. Preferably, a property of at least 2,500 sqm will allow for future expansion.
d. Production and Marketing Program
As designed, the Project shall be able to produce about 1,300 liters of 10% diesel-blended bio-fuel per day.
This fuel is ready to use "as is" in any diesel engine without any alteration in the engine's fuel supply and combustion system.
This entails the recovery of 1,440 liters of WVO per day at the competitive buying price of Php 10/liter.
Opening the door of opportunity to the suppliers (e.g., hotels, restaurants, canteens) to join as shareholders, the Project is well positioned to corner the local supply.
Since the raw material and the process are both inexpensive, the Project shall be able to offer the product at the same price of petro-diesel.
The marketing task is not expected to be difficult. The priority target market is the public transport service sector.
Small fleet operators or cooperatives/associations with their own service station shall be the best client with whom a long-term supply-purchase agreement shall be given priority.
The scope of the marketing effort is also very manageable. At the least bio-fuel ratio of only 10%, the target number of vehicles (at the low daily fuel usage of 20 liters per vehicle) is about 650 only.
At the maximum bio-fuel ratio of 70%, which is not unlikely given the competitive pricing and over-all beneficial impact, the target number of vehicles is less than a hundred.
This market volume threshold is very possible to attain even in medium-sized towns with basically an agricultural economy where small diesel engines are the mainstay of agricultural machineries and post-harvest facilities.
e. Organization and Management Plan
The Project shall be established and managed as a joint-venture enterprise of the co-investors.
To be registered as a stock corporation, the business shall be managed under the corporation code with management involvement and income sharing in proportion to the equity shares of the shareholders.
These shall include both consumers, i.e., public transport service firms, especially cooperatives or associations of drivers and operators, and suppliers of the raw material, i.e., food service establishments.
Any person or entity willing to put up the land and/or buildings where the Project can be located is also welcome.

Vegetable Gardening For Beginners - 6 Easy Tips To Start You Off
Healthy vegetable gardens do more than provide a beautiful area in your yard. They repay your labor with nutritious food and a healthy varied diet. Vegetable gardeners are in tune with the environment, giving back to the soil what they take from it. Abundant vegetable gardens start with healthy, rich soil. Compost and mulch contribute to that natural wealth.
About 11,000 years ago, the first farmers began to select and cultivate desired food plants in the southwest Asian Fertile Crescent - between the ancient Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Although we believe there was some use of wild cereals before that time, the earliest crops were barley, bitter vetch, chick peas, flax, lentils, peas, emmer, and wheat. About 9,000 years ago, Egyptians began to grow wheat and barley. About the same time, farmers in the Far East began to grow rice, soy, mung, azuki, and taro.
Then, about 7,000 years ago, ancient Sumarians established the first organized agricultural practices that made large-scale farming possible. Of particular note, they established irrigation as a way to nurture crops where none were possible before. Vegetable gardeners today use many of the same techniques established in early history. But today's vegetable gardeners have millennia of experience behind them. Trial and error today is success or failure at the margins. Failure is not disaster.
As in centuries passed, a successful vegetable gardener cultivates the garden before planting for three main reasons: to eliminate weeds, to distribute air and nutrients throughout the soil, and to conserve moisture. Preparation of the soil is the single most important step in assuring abundant harvests.
Weeds are the most powerful enemy of a healthy vegetable garden. Letting them multiply in your vegetable garden will create much work and disappointment through the growing season. And when your vegetables begin to grow, removing weeds can your new vegetable plants beyond repair. Weeds also steal the precious nutrients necessary to produce healthy vegetables.
Rather than sacrificing the new garden to a patch of weeds, the successful vegetable gardener will cultivate the bed often, breaking up the soil to maintain healthy air, moisture, and heat to facilitate desirable chemical processes that produce abundant plant food. Ancient growers learned by trial and error the importance of keeping the soil loose around young plants. Early farmers deposited rotten fish beneath their crops as fertilizer and then used tools of shell and stone to nurture healthy soil and get plentiful air to the roots of their crops.
As important as air is water, even when the vegetable garden is a promise waiting for new seeds. Consider the process of "capillary attraction" - the ability of a substance to pull another substance into it. When you dip one end of a strip of blotting paper into water, you'll see that the moisture moves up the invisible channels formed by the paper's texture. But when you place the side edge of the blotting paper into water, the moisture won't move upward. In a vegetable garden, capillary attraction describes the attraction of water molecules to soil particles. Well cultivated, loose soil maximizes capillary action, maintaining an even distribution of moisture throughout your vegetable garden soil.
Even so, water stored in soil during rain immediately begins to escape, evaporating into the air. Surface water is the first to vaporize into the atmosphere. With capillary action, sub-surface water moves upward and evaporates. Left to natural processes, your garden will lose its moisture as quickly as if you left sponges in the topsoil. Cultivating your vegetable garden by hoeing the soil around your plants disturbs natural capillary action and slows the loss of water for your vegetables.
It's important to hoe your vegetable garden often, particularly those areas not shaded, at the very least every other week. If this seems too difficult, using a wheel hoe will reduce your labor and keep your vegetable garden healthy and productive. Looking somewhat like an old-fashioned plow, the wheel hoe allows you to cultivate very close to your healthy plants, maintaining an even depth and destroying new weeds before they get established. With the wheel hoe, you can cultivate as fast as you can walk.
If you wait until weeds are established, you'll have to pull the weeds by hand, damaging the root systems of your vegetables, depleting the soil of nutrients, and creating a much greater workload for you as gardener. And the work you invest will not be to cultivate a productive crop. It will be to prevent damage that may have already been done. A wheel hoe is essential for a large vegetable garden, but it will also save much time and effort in a small one. However, a simple scuffle hoe is effective in small spaces as well. It takes less storage space and cultivates the soil effectively.
Preparing your vegetable garden properly before you plant vegetables is well worth the investment in time and labor. Keeping your vegetable garden rows free of weeds later on is slow going and difficult. Here are a few tips for keeping your vegetable garden clean and clear of weeds as your plants mature:
1. Work at the weeds while the ground is soft and/or moist. Soon after a rain is the best time. Weeds will come out by the root easier without breaking off, leaving the unwanted plant to grow again.
2. Just before you weed your vegetable garden, cultivate the rows with your wheel or scuffle hoe very shallow in the topsoil and as close to your vegetable plants as possible. This will loosen the soil and make weeds easy to see. A double-wheel hoe with discs is best for this purpose, especially for large plants.
3. Make sure all of the soil is loosened when you cultivate. Pull all the weeds out carefully, avoiding disturbing the vegetable plants. Your weeder will destroy weed seedlings, but you'll have to hand-weed near plant bases and where weeds have matured.
4. Use a small hand-weeder near your vegetable plants. It will loosen the soil, making weeds easier to eliminate, and save a lot of wear and tear on your hands and fingers.
5. Practice with your wheel hoe. At first, watch the wheel's direction and the pressure you put on the handles. The discs or rakes will follow automatically, maintaining an appropriate cultivation depth in your vegetable garden rows.
6. "Hilling" was once a common way to nurture young vegetable plants. This is done by building the soil up around the stems of young vegetable plants, usually the after you've hoed your garden two or three times. In wet soils or dry climates, hilling may still be the way to go. But in most areas, level soil is best. It makes it easier to cultivate the soil in the long run, thereby assuring healthy vegetable plants through the growing season.
Rotating Vegetable Crops
Crop rotation, or growing different vegetable crops each time you plant, is an important part of maintaining a healthy, productive vegetable garden. Some Roman texts mention crop rotation, and early Asian and African farmers also found rotation a productive method. During the Muslim Golden Age of Agriculture, engineers and farmers introduced today's modern crop rotation methods where they alternated winter and summer crops and left fields fallow during some growing seasons. With Chemical Revolution of the mid-20th Century, crop rotation lost some of its appeal. But for home vegetable gardeners, rotation eliminates the risks of using dangerous chemicals and prevents the environmental consequences associated with modern pollutants.
Each different vegetable plant depletes the soil of different nutrients, and each leaves different nutrients as its roots and stems decay. Rotating crops with each planting keeps the soil balanced and rich. Planting the same crop time after time drains it of necessary nutrients, leaving it less productive. Crop rotation also reduces the build-up of pathogens and pests that destroy healthy vegetable gardens. Rotation helps maintain a healthy mix of essential nitrogen in your vegetable garden.
Rotating crops is more important with vegetables like cabbage, but it is a good practice for your vegetable garden generally. Even the hardy onion benefits from rotation, especially if you've done a good job of breaking up the old garden soil and mixing the remaining vegetable plants to serve as compost for the following crop. Here are some basic tips about crop rotation:
1. Do not rotate crops of the same vegetable family, for example turnips and cabbage. Be sure the following crop is a complete different type of vegetable.
2. Deep-rooting crops like carrots or parsnips, should follow vegetables with roots near the surface like onions or lettuce.
3. Follow root crops with vines or leaf crops.
4. Rotate vegetable plants that have long growing seasons with quick-growing crops.
5. Decide on your vegetable garden rotation when you're constructing your planting plan. Making these decisions in the middle of the growing season will be more difficult and waste time and money.

is there a way to remove hydrogen from vegetable oil?
and can it be done cheaply? or is there a way to extract the vegetable oil from the hydrogenated/fats junk?
There is no way to "unhydrogenate" hydrogenated vegetable oil. You have to buy oil that was never hydrogenated in the first place.
