Biodiesel
processors
The
biodiesel quality is directly dependent
from the mixing capacity of the processors.
The special design associated with
the 3 stage mixing system of our processors
guarantees high transterification
rates. Double wall stainless steel
vessels decreases energy consumption
and improves equipment reliability. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Feedstock
neutralizers
Used
cooking oils and animal fats are cheaper
feedstock but have high content of
free fatty acids (FFA). Our neutralizers
and acid esterification units can
reduce the FFA contents under 0.5%,
converting low quality raw material
in feedstock capable to produce high
quality biodiesel. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Biodiesel
washing
The
biodiesel has to be washed to eliminate
contaminants resulting from the transesterification
process. Our biodiesel dry wash units
are ion exchange resin based columns
that operate in peg leg process
to guarantee completely contaminants
removal. The BB-DIESEL high efficient
water wash units only consume 100L for
1000L of washed biodiesel, removing
all contaminants, including methanol. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Methoxide
pre-mixers
Automated
methoxide pre-mixers improves safety
by reducing the risk associated to the
methanol and catalyst handling. We manufactures
models to operate solid cathalyst (NaOH
or KOH) and to operate sodium and potassium
methylate. These stand alone efficient
units can be easly integrated into new
or existent plants. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Methanol
recovering
The
BB-DIESEL methanol recovering units
extract all the unreacted methanol from
the biodiesel and glycerine mixture,
recovering the methanol to be reused,
producing methanol free biodiesel
that meets the
international standards and dry glycerine
with 85% to 90% purity grade. The investment
in these units is quickly recovered
as methanol is an expensive reactant. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Centrifuges
Using
a new design concept
these low maintenance centrifuges are
ideal for glycerine separation and water
wash process. Have clean in place system
enabling clean without stripping and
improving efficiency. All models are
ATEX certified and liquid contact parts
are 316 stainless steel made. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Complete
plants
Complete
plants include all biodiesel production
steps needed to produce biodiesel
that meet all EN
14214 and ATSM D-6751 specifications.
Due to advanced software these modular
and easily upgradded plants are completely
automated and can deliver up
to 50,000MT per year of biodiesel in
a continuous flow production process.
The model base includes methoxide pre-mixer,
transesterification unit, methanol recovering,
glycerine separation and biodiesel washing,
but many extras can be added according
to client requirements. |

BIODIESEL PROCESSORS
We manufacture biodiesel processors from 200 Litre per day up to 50,000 MT per year.
All models are PLC controlled and have high quality stainless steel vessels and piping to
improve safety and reliability.
Small models are all-in-one processing units that make the whole biodiesel production
process from the oil heating to the biodiesel washing. These processors are PLC controlled
and the biodiesel wash is made by synthetic megnesium silicate.
Medium scale transesterification processors are designed to operate 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. These high quality full automated batch reactors are stand alone units but
can be easily assembled in parallel with one central unit command for all units. Each model
delivers 1000 L of biodiesel every two hours (1000 L per hour with pre heated oil).
High shear reactors are high capacity continuous flow reactors that can be settled in new
or existant plants. These rotor - stator based units process biodiesel instantly at low
temperatures using less methoxide than conventional biodiesel processors, saving energy,
methoxide, time and room space.
The equipments meet the CE specifications and all parts are ATEX certified. ATEX
certification for the entire equipment available under request.

All-in-one
units
These
low cost complete process units do the methoxide
mixing,
transesterification reaction, glycerine separation
and biodiesel
washing process, delivering ready to use biodiesel.
All-in-one
processors are BB-200CS, BB-300CS and BB1000-CS,
which
produce 200, 300 and 1000 Litre per day respectively. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Full
automated processors
Full
automated processors are high quality transesterification
units composed by the transesterification
reactor and the
methoxide mixer unit. They are automated stand
alone units
which can easily be integrated
in existing or new biodiesel plants,
working individually or in parallel with common
controls. Each
unit delivers 1000 L of high quality biodiesel
every two hours but this production rate can
be duplicated with pre heated feedstocks.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
High
shear reactors
High
shear reactors are used for long scale production
facilities.
These cost effective units improves biodiesel
efficiency production saving room space, time,
methanol and
energy consumption due
the efficiency increasing and smaller temperatures
required to the
transesterification reaction.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Synthetic
magnesium silicate
Synthetic
magnesium silicate is powerfull adsorbent product
that eliminate all the biodiesel impurities
without biodiesel absortion. This powder is
mixed with the biodiesel after the glycerine
separation, at 60ºC in strong agitation
for 30 minutes. After that, the magnesium silicate
is filtered and the biodiesel is ready to be
used. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
FEEDSTOCK NEUTRALIZING
Lower cost feedstock like used cooking oils (UCO), animal fats or Jatropha oil have high
free fatty acids (FFA) contents that need to be reduced before the transesterification
process. To produce quality biodiesel the feedstock must have 0,5% FFA maximum as
value.
Our oil neutralizers are ideal for UCO neutralization once this raw material usualy have 2%
to 5% of FFA contents. These full automated units neutralize 1000L of oil every 2 operating
hours in a PLC controled process.
Feedstock with FFA contents higher than 5% needs to be neutralized by acid esterification.
This esterification process can be made using acidic polymer based resins in a specially
designed columns or by addition of H2SO4 in high shear based neutralizers.
Acid esterification columns and high shear neutralizers are tailored according to the
client specifications.
The equipments meet the CE specifications and all parts are ATEX certified. ATEX
certification for the entire equipment is available under request.

BIODIESEL WASHING
After the methanol striping and glycerin separation, biodiesel needs to be clear of contamints
resulting from the transesterification process and oil residues. This biodiesel purification
is called biodiesel wash and can be conducted in three different ways:
1) Water wash:
In the water wash process the biodiesel is mixed with water and H3PO4 to remove the
contaminants and decrease the alkalinity resulting from the transesterification process.
After that the biodiesel is rewashed to remove the H3PO4 and remaining contaminants
until becoming clear. Finnaly, the water is removed and biodiesel is ready to use.
2) Resin based dry wash:
This dry wash biodiesel purification process consists in forcing the biodiesel to pass through
the specially designed resin columns at a constant flow rate. The ion exchange resins
will remove the the contaminants from the biodiesel
3) Synthetic magnesium silicate:
High purity grade magnesium silicate with low average particles size can remove the
contaminants from the biodiesel by adsorption. The TrySil ® is mixed with biodiesel in a
ratio of 0,2% to 0,5%, at 70ºC and strong agitation for 30 minutes. Then the mixture
biodiesel / silicate is filtered to remove the silicate and the biodiesel is ready to use.
The equipments meet the CE specifications and all parts are ATEX certified. ATEX
certification for the entire equipment available under request.

METHOXIDE PRE MIXING
Methoxide can be prepared mixing NaOH / KOH in methanol or diluting sodium / potassium
methylate in methanol. The catalyst quantity added to methanol is dependent from the
feedstock titration and must be rigorous to guarantee a good transesterification.
Catalyst dispensers
Catalyst dispensers are used to add and mix solid catalyst to the methanol. These high
quality 316 stainless steel dispensers are automated to ensure fine addiction of catalyst into
the methanol in order to guarantee the exact methoxide concentration.
The operator only have to enter the titration result in the command unit and be sure that the
catalyst compartment is not empty. The dispenser will prepare the methoxide automatically.
Catalyst dispensers are specially useful for medium scale plants which use solid catalyst.
|
|
|
In-line
methoxide mixers
BB-DIESEL in-line mixers were
specifically designed to prepare methoxide using
liquid sodium or potassium methylate. Due to its
special mixing system these equipments ensure
absolute methoxide uniformity.
Built with high quality 316 stainless steel, this
cost effective equipment have an advanced control
system which allows methoxide concentration adjustment
with an extraordinary accuracy. Another advantage
is the regulation of the quantity of methanol
that reacts with the feedstock, enabling process
fine-tune according to raw material and plant
type.
BB-DIESEL in-line mixers are full automated stand
alone units suitable
for all plants which
use
methylate
as catalyst.
The equipments meet the CE specifications and
all parts are ATEX certified. ATEX
certification for the entire equipment available
under request.

METHANOL RECOVERING
After the transesterification process the biodiesel contains about 2% of methanol. In order
to meet EN 14214 and ATSM D-6751 standards that methanol has to be removed from
the biodiesel down to 0.2% of maximum content.
Because the methanol have a significant cost in the production process, recovering the
methanol to be reused represents a significant reduction costs. In fact, this unit can
decrease the methanol consumption up to 50%.
The BB-DIESEL methanol recovering units are specially designed to operate after the
transesterification stage. This sequence has great advantage when compared to other
units in the biodiesel market because in a single pass we obtain:
1 - Methanol extraction from the biodiesel;
2 - Methanol extraction from the glycerine, producing easy storage glycerine with commercial
value;
3 - Condensation of all stripped methanol to be reused in the transesterification stage.
|
|
|
Therefore
a single equipment is needed to recover the methanol
from both biodiesel and
glycerine streams, which represents savings
of
tens of thousands euro. Another advantage
of our methanol recovering units is to improve
the biodiesel / glycerine separation as dry
methanol glycerin is denser than rich methanol
glycerine.
To guarantee total methanol extraction with low
utilities consumption the BB-DIESEL
methanol recovering unit works under vacuum conditions.
All the process is full
automated and controlled by the command unit.
This cost effective equipment is built in high
quality 304 stainless steel and skid mounted.
It is a stand alone unit that can easily be assembled
to new or existing plants.
The equipments meet the CE specifications and
all parts are ATEX certified. ATEX
certification for the entire equipment is available
under request.
