For Biodiesel,feedstock is not problem, right
technology will lead biodisel industry. In order to sustain biodiesel
industry, the technology is very important which has the ability to
handle multifeedstocks readily available, it will be better if it is
locally available and cheap such as used oil, yellow grease, trap
grease or any combination and still meets the ASTM standard to avoid
harm the vehicles. As we all know there are Technology Issues.
Conventional Biodiesel manufactured cost and quality are directly
related to the type of technology employed in the process. All
processes worldwide use similar technology and have restrictions on the
type of oil to be used. For example, base catalysis systems can only
use high grade, high cost oils that are very low in free fats. This
restriction allows manufacturers to develop their own process
technology based on hundreds of years of experience. This is the basic
soap manufacturing process and has the lowest capital cost, typically
which is still in millions of dollars for a small plant. Typical
operating costs are $0.50 to $0.80 per gallon. A typical yield from
this plant operation is 93 – 95%. These operations require either water
washing stages or ion exchange for waterless fuel contaminate process
cleanup after reaction. Most States heavily monitor water discharges
from Biodiesel plants, and most of these have converted to waterless
technologies. Ion exchange is a costly process and adds cost per
gallon, depending on product quality. Low yield, high costs, and
limited oil type used by these processes will eliminate them from the
market in the near future.
The second level of technology capable of utilizing lower cost oils but requires a costly two step process, acid/base catalysis. Yield is low but it can convert low cost oils into biodiesel. The down side, plants cost twice as much as a base catalysis technology and are very complicated systems. A typical yield from this plant operation is 85% or less.
Contrary to this We have developed with years of research and development Heterogeneous catalytic system that can handle efficiently with minimum dose of chemical catalyst to handle any comination of feedstock irrespective of whatever FFA contents in the oil. In fact, higher FFA is better for higher btu value in biodiesel.ECR’s technology is capable of efficiently processing lower cost oils while maintaining high quality meeting ASTM standard is a market opportunity that few in the world today is used as an advantage.
Our Technical Advantages;
• Lowest capital cost, about 1/3 less than competitors
• Lowest operating cost
• Highest quality
• Highest yield, better than conventional method
