Product Description

 Biodiesel is booming. The many different reasons for this success story include an environmental policy which is specifically promoting fuels from renewable raw materials, whilst high world market prices for oil in combination with high taxation on conventional fuels are also making a key contribution. It is against this background that new biodiesel production facilities are springing up all over the world to transesterify vegetable and animal oils and fats into fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). 

Our Biodiesel Centrifuge Separator supports the production of this biodiesel product in terms of both the pre-treatment of the oils and fats required and transesterification itself by the so-called Connemann process. 

If biodiesel is to compete with conventional diesel in terms of combustion characteristics, then prior to transesterification, oils and fats need to be freed from concomitant substances which are undesirable in the subsequent primary product biodiesel and its by-product glycerin. Chemical and physical refining processes in which our Biodiesel Centrifuge Separator process lines play a central role have become established for this purpose. 

They allow the following pre-treatment objectives to be efficiently realized: 
No waxes, making biodiesel more stable to cold 
No impurities, resulting in improved glycerin quality 
No gums to cause fouling in the thermal glycerin process 
No free fatty acids, reducing the proportion of MONG (Matter Organic Non Glycerin) 
No phosphates in waste water, reducing disposal costs
