🌱 What is a Biodiesel Plant?
A biodiesel plant is a facility designed to convert renewable feedstocks—such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste cooking oils—into biodiesel, a cleaner-burning, renewable fuel alternative to petroleum diesel. At Atommek, we engineer and manufacture custom biodiesel production plants to deliver the highest efficiency, product quality, and cost-effectiveness.
⚡ Why Biodiesel? A Cleaner Alternative
- Renewable & Sustainable – Derived from natural oils and fats
- Compatible with existing diesel engines
- Cleaner Emissions – Reduces carbon footprint and harmful pollutants
- Energy Security – Reduces reliance on fossil fuels
- Cost-Effective Fuel Diversification
Biodiesel is not just fuel—it’s the future of sustainable energy.
🔬 How Biodiesel is Produced?
Biodiesel production involves a process called transesterification, where fats and oils are reacted with alcohol (typically methanol) in the presence of a catalyst (NaOH or KOH). The process yields two products:
- Biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters – FAME)
- Glycerin (a valuable by-product for pharmaceuticals & cosmetics)
Production Process Highlights
- Pre-Treatment: Degumming, bleaching, glycerolysis, and deacidification ensure high-quality feedstock.
- Transesterification: High conversion rates, >98% ester content achieved.
- Methanol Recovery: 99.5% purity recovered for reuse, reducing costs.
- FAME Distillation: Final biodiesel contains minimum 99.5% ester content.
🌍 Feedstocks We Support
We design plants to handle both low-grade and high-grade feedstocks, including:
| Low-Grade Feedstocks | High-Grade Feedstocks |
| Used cooking oil | Refined palm oil |
| Acid oils (e.g., palm) | Soybean oil |
| Spent earth oil | Sunflower oil |
| Animal fats | Canola oil |
