Biodiesel Processing Plants
Biodiesel is promising. To generate efficient clean and cheap fuel from regenerative sources and to reduce the global utilisation of fossil fuels is a great target.
At EFC Renewables, we specialise in decentralised solutions, small to medium sized biodiesel processing plants that generate jobs, wealth and clean energy at the source.
The utilisation of biodiesel for various purposes - be it for
- blending with fossil diesel, according to local blending mandates (B2, B5, B7, B10)
- direct utilisation in diesel engines for road transport (B100)
- substitution of dirty bunker diesel in fishing fleets or commercial maritime good or passenger transport
- or the substitution of conventional diesel fuel in diesel power plants
in any case, a decentralised processing of feedstock to biodiesel or power reduces logistics costs and provides for options to redistribute some of the value added to those at the beginning of the value chain.
EFC Renewables represent innovative technologies for biodiesel processing plants ranging up to over 50 metric tons daily output. Some technologies are mobile and include feedstock conversion to crude oil in one housing, together with the biodiesel processing, other technologies provide for static equipment starting from the oil conversion.
Our consultancy services for biodiesel processing plants are similar to those in biomass conversion:
- Project identification, feasibility studies
- Process design
- Evaluation of suitable technologies
- Assessment of resource and energy demand
- Specification of equipment
- Statutory consents including planning and IPPC
- Preparation of contracts
- Project management
- Construction supervision and commissioning
- Due diligence and assessment services for lenders and investors (project finance)
