Bio Diesel Plant
Introduction
Biodiesel plant produces biodiesel fuel from renewable resources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste cooking oil.
Biodiesel is a clean alternative to fossil diesel, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on petroleum.
Raw Materials / Feedstock
Vegetable oils (soybean, rapeseed, palm, sunflower, jatropha, etc.)
Non-edible oils (neem, mahua, karanja, castor, etc.)
Animal fats (tallow, lard)
Used cooking oil (UCO) / waste frying oil
Production Process
Feedstock Preparation
Transesterification Reaction
Separation
Purification
Storage
Plant Components
Feedstock handling system (storage tanks, filters, pre-treatment units)
Transesterification reactor
Catalyst and alcohol dosing system
Separation unit (settling tanks or centrifuge)
Washing & drying system
Biodiesel storage tanks
Glycerol recovery unit
Products & By-Products
Main Product: Biodiesel (FAME)
By-Product: Glycerol (used in pharma, cosmetics, soap industry)
Other minor by-products: Free fatty acids, catalyst sludge, wastewater
Applications
Direct use as fuel in diesel engines (pure or blended with fossil diesel, e.g., B5, B20, B100).
Electricity generation in diesel generators.
Heating applications in boilers and furnaces.
Aviation biofuel (future potential with advanced refining).
