Solar Bio Fuel Large (Product Code: SLE/PHY/204) is a biofuel experiment set used to demonstrate the entire process of producing biofuels, from alcoholic fermentation to electricity from an ethanol fuel cell, in school and college science labs. Besides bioethanol it also covers biodiesel production through transesterification of fats, and the fermented mash is distilled with a Solar-condenser developed for this experiment. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Components:
The set follows the chain from sugar to electricity. Students ferment a sugar-containing mash with yeast under the airlock, follow the change in density with the areometer, distil the mash through the distilling head and condenser, and check the strength of the distillate with the alcoholmeter. The ethanol then feeds the fuel cell module, whose output drives the motor and propeller or is studied with the potentiometer module. A separate strand shows how fats are turned into biodiesel by transesterification.
As an environmental science kit, school and college groups can use it to compare fuels made from plants with fossil fuels. Note that the component list does not include a stand or heat source for the distillation step. Ethanol is flammable, so heat carefully, keep open flames away from the collecting vessel and wear eye protection.
Solar Bio Fuel Large is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name, to schools, colleges, universities, dealers and importers in India and international markets. The company sources the complete set and can quote it with the accessory box and other renewable-energy kits so that a laboratory receives everything in one delivery. See the ScienceLab company profile for company details.

Which fuels can be produced with Solar Bio Fuel Large?
Solar Bio Fuel Large covers the production of bioethanol by alcoholic fermentation and distillation, and also the production of biodiesel through transesterification of fats, so students see both kinds of plant-based liquid fuel in one experiment set.
How does Solar Bio Fuel Large produce electricity?
In the last step of the Solar Bio Fuel Large process, the produced biofuel is converted into usable energy, such as electrical energy, using the provided ethanol fuel cell module. A potentiometer module, motor module and yellow propeller are included for the energy experiments.
Are chemicals included with Solar Bio Fuel Large?
The Solar Bio Fuel Large component list includes yeast but no other chemicals, so substances for fermentation and transesterification should be arranged separately. Ask us which ones you need; shelf life depends on the item and its storage conditions.
What glassware comes with Solar Bio Fuel Large?
Solar Bio Fuel Large includes a 1000 ml Erlenmeyer flask, a 250 ml beaker, a 100ml measuring cylinder, three test tubes, a distilling head (2 cores, 75°, NS 19/26), a condenser, an airlock, a 2ml syringe and three Pasteur pipettes.
Who supplies Solar Bio Fuel Large?
Solar Bio Fuel Large is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets, and can be quoted together with its accessory box.
What should a quotation request for Solar Bio Fuel Large include?
A quotation request for Solar Bio Fuel Large should give the number of sets, whether the supplement box is needed, any consumables you want priced, and the delivery location, so one complete offer can be prepared.
