Biodiesel distillation process
In the biodiesel production industry, achieving high-quality fuel often requires additional refinement steps. Standard transesterification processes might leave behind undesirable components that degrade the fuel’s quality, especially its cold flow properties.
Enhance biodiesel quality through distillation
The Crown biodiesel distillation process utilizes a high-vacuum, high-temperature distillation column to separate and remove impurities such as monoglycerides and other low-volatility components from biodiesel. This process not only cleans up methyl ester that may not meet biodiesel specifications but also creates high-quality biodiesel with improved cold flow characteristics. By distilling and blending portions of the product, producers can achieve a higher standard of biodiesel that commands a premium price. Crown Iron Works designs the distillation equipment to accommodate various feedstock and product specifications, ensuring versatility and efficiency in operation.
