      conversion in a single step - Note that the EN14214 std, asks > 96.5% of total esters content 


  • Produced since the 2003 year, study here the BD2 & BD4 stainless steel, industrial grade processors

  •  Burners of Crude glycerin up to 500,000 kCal/h each, meet EURO III std. Details here

Biodiesel's fuel features

 Power: one of the major advantages is the fact that it can be used in existing engines and fuel injection equipment (no modification required) without negative impact to operating performance.

 Fuel availability/economy: virtually the same MPG rating as petrodiesel and the only alternative fuel for heavyweight vehicles requiring no special dispensing and storage equipment. And today it is cheaper than the "dinofuel".

 Production/Refining: can be done at home (with wasted veggie oil, UCO) and at farms (with virgin crude oils from seeds), being the only alternative fuel that can boast of a zero total emissions production facility. By selling the simultaneously produced glycerol, the cost of BIODIESEL is basically the same cost of the oil used to make it.

 Storage: readily blends and stays blended with petrodiesel so it can be stored and dispensed wherever diesel is stored or sold.

 Combustibility/Safety: biodiesel has a very high flash point (300°F) making it one of the safest of all alternative fuels.

 Lubricity: biodiesel is the only alternative fuel that can actually extend engine life because of its superior lubricating and cleaning properties. The present "low sulfur" diesel fuel is badly wearing the injection pumps of not protected diesel engines. (You should add biodiesel to the present commercial "dinofuel")

 Environmental Impact: the only renewable alternative diesel fuel that actually reduces a major greenhouse gas components in the atmosphere .  The use of biodiesel will also reduce the following emissions:

  • carbon monoxide

  • ozone-forming-hydrocarbons

  • hazardous diesel particulate

  • acid rain-causing sulfur dioxide

  • lifecycle carbon dioxide

What is "Biodiesel"

Biodiesel is a completely natural, renewable fuel applicable in any situation where conventional petroleum diesel is used. No modifications on engine are needed.

 Even though "diesel" is part of its name, there are no petroleum or other fossil fuels in biodiesel. Biodiesel is 100% vegetable oil based. From new or used cooking oil too. By recycling WVO, we prevent pollution of city water.

 This environment-friendly fuel reduces tailpipe emissions, visible smoke and noxious odors. Can also be used in a blends with conventional diesel while still achieving substantial reductions in emissions.

 ** Technically, biodiesel is Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME). It is formed by replacing with lighter methanol the glycerol from each triglyceride molecule of veggie oil. Once the glycerol is removed from the oil, the remaining molecules are, to a diesel engine, similar to petroleum diesel fuel. Basis is> oil + methanol = biodiesel + glycerol

  But there are some notable differences. The biodiesel molecules are very simple hydrocarbon chains, containing no sulfur, ring molecules, nor aromatics associated with fossil fuels. 

  Biodiesel is made up of almost 10% oxygen, making it a naturally  "oxygenated" fuel.

dot The SAVOIA BD JET batch type technology is intended for distributed production of biodiesel fuel

dot   Multifeedstock technology to process: crude (not degummed) vegetable oil, used cooking oil (UCO),
    and  liquid tallow or yellow grease


 
** Since the 2003 year, our innovative process is used in Small Business, On-farming biodiesel production
   and  Home Brewing
. The machinery is working in The Netherlands, UK, USA, Korea, Chile, Belgium, Argentina,
   Australia, Bolivia, Guatemala, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay,  Peru, Portugal, South  Africa, Spain,
   Trinidad & Tobago, Belize.

 Industrial grade, easy-to-use machinery for BIODIESEL manufacturing

dot Get the best base reaction yield (98-99%) with our pressurized high
   temperature
protocol
. W/O any effluents, it can process crude oils, saves
    methanol, catalyst and reaction time (reducing thus the total reaction cost) 
 

dot In one single step, will process any veggie oil or liquid yellow grease with
   up to 6%  FFA's. The full separation biodiesel-glycerol is by hot and
   pressurized gravity settling.

dot Washing this biodiesel made from virgin oils with solid lye, is not
   mandatory
. ¡None pollution is produced!

  ** The smallest & lightweight  M4 module produces and gravity settles 2 x
      200L
(2 x 50 gal) of biodiesel fuel per day. With easy manual operation.
    
   -> The M4 module SCOPE INCLUDES:   
  • BD JET Manual for "DIY" installation, dosing & operation. It is the know-how of our technology.
  • 1 (one) BD2-D, vacuum flash dryer to full dehydrate 100-200 L/h oil (25-50 gal/h)
  • 1 (one) BD2 pressurized processor, performing the 240 liter batch reaction
  • 1 (one) SAT-1, oil less, air compressor for safe handling of the hot liquids
  **  Designed for DIY installation in a full ventilated rooms, all the biodiesel
       processors are stainless steel made (mandatory to process palm oil),
       have on-line supermixer, anti-vortex devices into the body, double pump
      feeding, belt type electric pipe heaters (no contact with any liquid), none
      electronics, and 3 mechanical safety devices
 
  **  the optional BD2F vessel is a 0.5 micron filter for separating the sterol-
       glucosides particles, delivering so the best bio diesel for low temperature
       use in COLD CLIMATES.

  ** this biodiesel can meet ASTM or EN standards (depending on feedstock)

  *** Biodiesel Quality control trough Viscosity & Specific Gravity (JAOCS,Vol 72-11, 1995) ->  FREE download here!   

Easy and fast biodiesel quality control by two physical
    p
arameters and chemical 2 tests:
       * Specific Gravity at 15°C < 0.895 g/cm3
       * Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C < 5.5 cSt
       ** PH > 7 measurement, and the "27/3" quick test

 
  *** We can also supply a handheld REFRACTOMETER to re-check mono and di-glycerides content

dot Expandable from 400 to 5000 L/day (1250 gal/day), with hot gravity settling:
 
       With liquid lye, each module can perform up to 15 reactions in 24h. Then, by sending each mixture to external
   settling tanks (BD4-E type), the reaction processor becomes free to handle successive hot reactions. This way,
   one M50 module may settle, along the 24h, up to 5,000 liters/day(1250 gal/day) of high quality biodiesel

 
SAVOIA M40
                          module makes 4000 L/day of biodiesel fuel
** NOTE: the 8-9h gravity settling time into the ISOLATED decanters defines the daily production. Each batch reaction, from the oil drying up to the reaction end, takes 60-90 minutes only.
