Biodiesel reactor installed at WRSC!

Hey, today Witch's Rock Surf Camp has just gone further down the green path as we received our biodiesel reactor.
This project is all about producing a greener fuel for our vehicles (shuttles, 4x4, boats, ...) but also offering an alternate solution to dumping.
Have you ever wonder where the waste cooking oil of restaurants goes?
Some restaurants in Tamarindo got into our program and started saving waste oil for us.

Dan Casey, president of Dieselloverde, showed up yesterday night to deliver the 130 gallons reactor. He is staying 2 days to teach us the process to make biodiesel from waste cooking oil.


Our 4 trainees, Pira, David, Luis and Francesco made their first mini-batch of biodiesel today, results are great so far and by tomorrow we should have refined almost 200 liters and be able to run our first eco-shuttle around Tamarindo!



keep you posted!
