From their press release today:

Anyone know how they're achieving such fast conversion? What of the quality, how much washing is required? Are they using additional external energy to reach this efficiency? Curious to see whether their technology is adopted by others.
SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (BUSINESS WIRE) May 23, 2006 — Green Star Products, Inc. (US OTC: GSPI) (GreenStarUSA.com) announced today that they have developed and successfully commercially tested their advanced biodiesel reactor.
GSPI reactors require an amazing two-minutes to complete the biodiesel conversion reaction versus over one-hour for the rest of the industry. This means that GSPI’S processing rate through the reactor is at least 30 times faster than the rest of the biodiesel industry.
Mr. LaStella, President of GSPI, stated, “Three different sizes of the proprietary biodiesel reactors were tested from January 2005 through February 2006 at the Bakersfield Biodiesel Plant Facility. The largest reactor was rated at 10-million GPYC (gallons per year capacity) and was operated from August 2005 through February 2006.”
