    The document discusses the McGyan biodiesel process, which uses high temperature and pressure to convert oils into biodiesel fuel in less than 6 seconds. Early tests indicate the process could revolutionize the diesel fuel industry by providing a cleaner, more efficient fuel that is cheaper to produce. However, more testing is still needed to prove the viability of the process on a large scale.

    The McGyan Biodiesel Process.

    AS world economies continue to grow the question of sustainable energies is often being
    discussed. Many new scientific and technological advance are being created and put to the test as
    we look towards a brighter future. One area that shows much promise is that of Bio-diesel
    production, in particular that of the McGyan Bio-diesel process. Early test and trial of the
    process indicate that this process could be a game changer in the industry.
    The breakthrough began in early 2008 when, a senior at Augsburg College, Brian Krohn
    found a new way of producing biodiesel. With the help of various scientist and the SarTec
    Corporation a new process was developed that has the potential to revolutionize the diesel fuel
    industry. The process was later termed Mcgyan after the last names of the inventors of this
    process. (McNeff , Gyberg & Yan).
    Clayton McNeff, Ph. D., the vice president of SARTEC Corporation, says that the power
    of the process is in its simplicity. The flow diagram below depicts the simplicity McNeff refers
    to. The McGyan process put alcohols and a variety of waste oils through a high temperature
    high-

    pressure reactor. Inside the oils react with a catalyst creating 100% renewable biodiesel fuel.
    As research continues the McGyan process is proving to be a cleaner, more efficient, and
    environmentally friendly, which results in a biodiesel that is cheaper to produce. It is so efficient
    it can make biodiesel in less than 6 seconds. While the common process produce a byproduct of
    glycerol the McGyan converts almost 100% of the free fatty acids found in the feedstocks
    Many speed bumps still remain for this innovative process. As the process still has many
    rigorous test to go through to prove its value against the tested acid and base catalyst
    transesterfication process that have been used for years. Regulatory issues such chemical that is
    used in the reactor.
    The McGyan process does meet the legal description and definition of biodiesel. In
    essence the process allows for a vegetable or animal fat-based diesel fuel to be produced.
    Furthermore, The biodiesel produced from the McGyan process has passed all current European
    and American standards. Most importantly, the use process has proven to create a biodiesel with
    a very low cloud a solution that other process have not been able to provide.
    If the McGyan Process can be proven to work on all levels of productions with the
    diverse materials stated in the research, and patents and license can properly be commercialized,
    I believe the McGyan process could very well be the modern day miracle of fuel creation.
    In ten year such a technology could be the new industry standard replacing the well-
    known systems of base catalyzed and acid catalyzed transesterfication. The McGyan process is
    the promise of a renewable energy process. We are looking towards seeing its benefits of
    providing phenomenal savings for the transportation industry.
