BIO-FUEL

The entire process of the production of organic fuels can be displayed with this kit. It starts with the biological step of alcohol fermentation. Afterwards, the produced mash will be distilled with the help of the condenser. The last step demonstrates the conversion of the produced bio-fuel into usable energy, such as electrical energy, using the provided Ethanol-fuel cell. The kit not only covers the topic of the production of bio-ethanol, but also the production of biodiesel through transesterification of fats.
