AGQM´s no-harm list grows steadily

6th test round completed successfully 

The Association Quality Management Biodiesel e.V. (AGQM) has completed the sixth test period of the no-harm test for oxidation stabilisers and added additional products to its no-harm list. These demanding tests ensure that chemical and physical properties are not affected by the use of oxidation stabilisers in Biodiesel, that no inadmissible reciprocal effects occurs with other oxidation stabilisers used in Diesel fuel (B7) and that security datasheets are available for the additive.

As a result, Biodiesel manufacturers can now choose from a total of 36 positively tested products from 22 manufacturers. In the sixth test period, the following oxidation stabilisers were tested successfully:

In order to meet the product stability requirements, the use of oxidation stabilisers is common use in Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester, FAME). In addition, relative efficiency was determined, offering the possibility to choose the most economic stabilizer.
The full report on the AGQM no-harm test program, summarising the test results of all products examined so far, is available for a charge on "Services" under No-Harm-List. The next no harm starts in November 2012. Interested manufacturers may contact us via mail: naqern.frvsreg@ntdz-ovbqvrfry.qr
