Workshops

Biodiesel Workshops…


West Texas BioEnergy provides quality workshops regularly for anyone interested in learning more about producing biodiesel.

During the workshops, you’ll have a chance to see first-hand the process of making biodiesel using on-site equipment. We demonstrate how to perform the titration test to determine the amount of lye (catalyst) for your batch, and then go through the process of mixing and making a batch of biodiesel. The titration test is the most critical part of the process and getting this right nearly ensures that you will make quality biodiesel every time.

The workshop usually lasts about 4 hours and are held at 301 Ellis Street, Menard, Texas 76859.

Call for reservations at 1-888-440-1112.
