Due to increasing crude oil prices in recent times fuel from other raw material has become more and more competitive!<\/span><\/p>\n

The history of biodiesel fuel as the essence of plants containing oils and fats started in the beginning of the 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are aware about the fact that fuel produced out of vegetable oil is as beneficiary for an engine like common fuel produced from crude oil or gas.<\/span><\/p>\n

    About Biodiesel<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Biodiesel is commonly made of rapeseed (Europe) or palm oil (Africa) as primary, and methanol as secondary raw material. BEFA offers beside this also a production way with ethanol instead of methanol, and the know-how for many different primary raw materials as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Chemically, transesterified biodiesel comprises a mix of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids. The most common form uses methanol to produce methyl esters as it is the cheapest alcohol available, though ethanol can be used to produce an ethyl ester biodiesel. BEFA provides machines for the production of methyl ester and also ethyl ester. A by-product of the transesterification process is the production of glycerine. A liquid transesterification production process is used to convert the base oil to the esters.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Any Free fatty acids (FFAs) in the base oil are converted to soap, removed from the process and will be led over to the glycerine fraction. After this processing, unlike straight vegetable oil, biodiesel has combustion properties very similar to those of petroleum diesel, and can replace it in most current uses.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A variety of oils can be used to produce biodiesel.<\/span><\/p>\n
