An improved biodiesel production process includes the steps of processing a feedstock to produce biodiesel, cooling the biodiesel so as to form sediment, and filtering the biodiesel to remove the sediment. The resulting biodiesel from the cold filtration process avoids problems of sediment formation during storage and transportation.

Biodiesel cold filtration process

A formulation for preventing or treating parturient hypocalcemia or milk fever comprises a solution of hydrochloric acid in water, soybean meal, additional feed components and minerals. The feed formulation is prepared by grinding soybean meal to a particle size of 1000 to 2000 microns. A hydrochloric acid solution and feedgrade limestone are blended into the meal to produce the formulation.

Comminuted soybeans are heated to high temperatures to condition the soybean oil contained therein. The soybean oil is extracted and filtered to remove solid fines, and then degummed and bleached. The prepared oil is introduced into a stirred reactor where lower aliphatic monohydric alcohol and an alkaline catalyst is introduced. Alcoholysis proceeds to virtual completion. A lower alkyl alcohol ester phase is separated out and washed with water to remove traces of unreacted alcohol and the alkaline catalyst.
