GDiesel

[mattg]

I was reading in "TDR Lite" last night about a company called Advanced Refining Concepts, that is making a new form of diesel fuel that they call GDiesel. Simply put it is a blend of #2 diesel and natural gas at a 2:1 ratio and put through a process that bonds the molecules together into an entirely new type of fuel. Other than the cetane level being a little lower, they say that it has all the properties of #1 fuel at a cost that is significantly less than straight #2. Has anyone else heard any more about this? It looked quite promising, however the topic of lubricity was not brought up and I am more than just a little curious about that.

Gas Infused Diesel

I am just wondering where i can test some of this juice and get one of these handy little units set up and running in or near Austin tx,



Just need the cheap sewer plant methane source.



I wonder if this blend has passed TCEQ standards for sales in texas?



i see they have a houston office.



The NOX emissions from B100 or B80 and the gel issue concerns truckers who travel up north



Biodiesel in texas was squashed here at the pumps and restricted distribution to municipal fleets. By tceq



If this passes Catapillar (they are a investor in this project) specs and the states approve them for sale more to come i just need a coop to defer costing to buy and set up the refining unit. additives can be blended in as needed,



if cost per gallon savings are in line this is a better solution than others for the moment.



the -53 degree gel point is of interest for northern climates



Advanced Refining Concepts, LLC is committed to providing clean, domestically produced energy and new U. S. based manufacturing jobs.

If we have wider distribution of this cleaner fuel we might not have to have all the pollution garbage choking our 6. 7 motors.



why havent the major refiners done this process allready ?



G Diesel increases volume and removes more diesel impuritys for less soot and NOX in the burn cycle



no gell point and compatable in northern climates



Will natural gas blend with bio fuels ?



Green hunter refining houston producing 105 million gallons Bio diesel annually



TCEQ says BIO pollutes more NOX ??

New G diesel production to kick in July 2010 refining completion.



Selling all they got!!



50 state certifications?

Cleaner better fuel and less oil contamination ?

Thanks guys for the info! Most landfill gas is flared with a few exceptions. They could sell refining units to counties in order to make fuel for the nations garbage truck fleets.....

The potential uses for a modern cleaner fuel spec for fleet vehicles might revise & negate smog choking dpf technologys some day.



I would like to see emission specs and long term effects on dpf equipment etc. and tests results from manufacturers/ cat cummins etc, I read that CAT was interested in this fuel research process technology.



Cleaner enhanced fuel specs will only lessen costs for all businesses city/county/municipal/delivery involved in more ways than 1. Natural gas is a abundant resource that is underutilized. Cost reductions are easily measured this also shows to work for jet and gas also, miltary uses also



im waiting for this test fuel to be approved by TCEQ for sale in texas



we have a green methane project going right now running from a sewer plant for algae research.

my question is if bio diesel can be infused with gas also to eliminate gelling in winter also

and how much these units cost?
