| 摘要： | This report gives recommendations on best practices for implementing a biodiesel program. Year round operability, pricing and availability, and fuel efficiency were the specific objectives that were studied. The study was accomplished contacting other state DOT's seeking information on their biodiesel programs, practices, and lessons learned. A list of best practices was then compiled, with added inputs from literature review. An electronic survey was sent out to the contacts to prioritize these best practices. Upon the receipt of the responses to the survey, a tool called the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the relative importance of the alternatives for year round operability. ASTM D 6751 standard compliance for B100 and BQ-9000 accreditation are the two most important best practices for a successful biodiesel program. Other important practices include effective blending, fuel filter inspection and replacement, winter additives and kerosene blending, and a regular tank cleaning program. Block heaters in the vehicle and underground storage tanks further help smooth operation in cold weather. Implementing these best practices will also ensure the availability of good quality fuel year round. |
