Biovoima - Biodiesel Plant

Biodiesel plant produces environmentally-friendly and profitable biodiesel from animal and vegetable fats and waste oils. Biodiesel can be used blended with normal diesel as transport fuel. Biodiesel can also be used as heating oil or fuel for generators. The end products of the production process are biodiesel and valuable glycerol that is utilized in the chemical industry. When biodiesel is made from grease instead of virgin raw materials, it has significant environmental benefits.

Suitable raw materials for a biodiesel plant include:

• used cooking oils from restaurants
• waste oils and fats from the food industry
• animal fats
• oils from fish production
• fat from grease traps and other low-grade fats mixed with water.

As the cost of biodiesel production is low and the demand for end products is high, the payback period of a biodiesel plant investment is typically short, usually 2-4 years. The plants are factory-built, so they are quick to install and start using. The minimum processing capacity for a profitable biodiesel project is typically 20 tons of feedstock per day. The capacity of a biodiesel plant can be scaled up.
