Another milestone for the semester! Our first batch of biodiesel have passed our in process testing and been passed through our ion exchange column! Only our Final Quality checks separate these 80 gallons of biodiesel from being used in @richlandtwo school buses! Stay tuned.
This week we have made some great progress! We finally have our large scale soap process down! Started selling our student made soap today at the Bengal Bazaar! @blythewoodhigh@blythewood_401
Dr. Henry McKoy - Director, US Dept. of Energy, visited the Bengal Biodiesel Lab at @BlythewoodHigh. To say that he was blown away by the work being done & opportunities being provided to our students would be an understatement!

Last Monday, Energy Office members went to Blythewood High School to visit the Bengal Biodiesel lab. Not only are the students in this hands-on chemistry lab making biodiesel fuel, but they are learning skills that will equip them to be competitive in the energy workforce.
Happy National Biodiesel Day! Our class celebrated this week by sharing what they have learned during lunch and giving tours of our production and laboratory space. Huge thanks to HomeTown 803 for joining our celebration and donating to our program!
