C.A.R.E. - Clean Renewable Energy

• Presented by Tim Handy

12
Objectives

• To give students a chance to be actively involved
  in reducing the carbon footprint of WSU
• To give undergraduate engineering students a
  chance to get real world engineering experience
  through the production of biodiesel
• To provide 50 gallons of biodiesel per week to
  fuel a WSU garbage truck
• To construct a fuel processor that is safe,
  effective, and economically self sustaining

November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board
Meeting C.A.R.E.
13
Current Status

• We are currently in construction of the biodiesel
  processor
• Construction of the processor is expected to be
  complete by the end of the fall semester
• The processor is located and upon completion will
  operate in ELB 59

November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board
Meeting C.A.R.E.
14
Future Plans for Operation

• Once processor and filtering system is complete
  participating students will perform all aspects
  of the biodiesel production
• Tasks performed will include
• Collection of waste oil from Northside dining
  center
• Obtaining methanol and potassium hydroxide from
  central stores
• Mixing of methoxide (methanol and KOH) and waste
  oil
• Working valves and pump to decant and transfer
  biodiesel
• Filtering of biodiesel product
• The system will provide a clean burning fuel with
  feedstock from a renewable source
• The processor is designed so that expansion of
  the system to produce larger batches of biofuel
  can be performed with relative ease
