BIODIESEL

B-100 Biodiesel from soya and sunflower oilseed source


Biodiesel is the generic name given to Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME), the most commonly used biofuel. It is primarily produced from Transesterification process of waste oil of various oilseeds like soy & sunflower. It shows fuel properties similar to petroleum diesel and acts as a greener and cleaner alternative. Biodiesel is the most promising renewable fuel available in the market today as it is cost effective and performs equally well with all types of diesel engines.









Biodiesel advantages over Petroleum Diesel:

    Cost Saving

    It cost less. Saves money!

    Fuel efficiency

    High Cetane number, Better fuel efficiency

    Engine Care

    Better lubricity, reduces engine wear & tear.

    Environment Care

    Non-polluting and bio-degradable fuel.

    Safety

    Higher flash point, safer fuel for handling & transportation.

    Renewable fuel

    Sustainable source of energy.

Biodiesel Applications:

    Biofuel

    Biodiesel can be directly used in all existing petroleum diesel driven cars, SUV’s, trucks, buses, tractors, Earth moving heavy vehicles, etc., without any engine modifications.

    Power Generation

    Compatible with all generators & DC sets for electricity generation.

    Bio-solvent

    It has very low volatile organic compounds and replaces many petroleum derived solvents. It is suitable to use in detergents, degreaser and other cleaning products.

    Paint & Leather industry

    It is used in manufacturing of paints, coatings and in fat liquoring process for leather manufacturing.

    Agriculture adjuvants

    It is used as a carrier/adjuvant in fertilizer and pesticides applications in agriculture.

    Oil-spill Cleanup

    It is used to clean oil-spill of petroleum products due to its strong solvent activity.
