Biodiesel pretreatment system
In the biodiesel production industry, one of the key challenges faced is ensuring the feedstock is adequately prepared for the transesterification process. This involves reducing both phosphatides and fatty acids to prevent inefficiencies downstream.
Efficiently prepares diverse feedstocks for transesterification
The biodiesel pretreatment system by Crown Iron Works is designed for continuous operation with a focus on efficiency and safety. Utilizing a process similar to edible oil refining, it reduces both phosphatides and fatty acids in the feedstock. This flexible design accommodates various biodiesel feedstocks, streamlining the pretreatment process. Byproducts from the pretreatment are comparable to those in edible oil production, allowing their sale in existing markets. Crown Iron Works’ proven design ensures maximum reliability and product quality, which helps save on capital and operational expenses in the transesterification plant. Additionally, the system can be adapted for the production of edible oils based on market conditions.
