Biodiesel is a fuel comprised of monoalkyl esters traditionally derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. There is currently an unprecedented increase in interest and demand for biodiesel and other fuels derived from renewable biomass. However, pure vegetable or seed oils are expensive and constitute between 70% and 85% of the overall biodiesel production cost. Municipal sewage sludge is gaining traction in the U.S. and around the world as a lipid feedstock for biodiesel production. It is plentiful and consists of significant concentrations of lipids that can make production of biodiesel from sludge profitable. However, there are challenges to be faced by biodiesel production from waste sludge. Determining how best to collect the different fractions and treat them for maximum lipids extraction is a major challenge. To accelerate biodiesel production, cosolvents and high shear mixing have been proposed. Nevertheless, there is very little information on the cost-effective means of increasing lipid solubil...
