"GRAYDON BLAIR: My name is Graydon Blair from Utah Biodiesel Supply and on behalf of Expert Village, it's now time to make our biodiesel in big processors or big batches. It's important to find the equipment that'll work for you. There's a myriad of different things out there. Remember, we just needed a heater, a mixer and something to mix it all with and to make our biodiesel with not much but in large things, there's a vast array of different equipment on the market. It's important that you find out what will work for you. If you're going to make a small batch, the best option is probably just to make it in tiny little jugs like this. If you're going to make a large batch, you need to look for equipment that fits your needs. There's plastic equipment, there's metal equipment, there's large, there's small, there's pricey, there's cheap, there's all sorts of different things on the market. I recommend that you call and ask people that if you use the equipment, if you find vendors online, you can actually build it yourself on websites, go to biodieseltutorial.com for more information. But if you find the equipment that's right for you, then you're going to be happy. If you go ahead and plunk down a lot of money on things that might not work, you might not be so happy with the result. So, my big key point here is to make biodiesel for you, make sure you get the equipment that works best for you."
