DVC Process Technologists: Your Partner in Biodiesel Production

We are a leading manufacturer and supplier of biodiesel production plants,
both in India and worldwide! With a commitment to sustainability and
innovation, we provide cutting-edge solutions that harness the power of
biodiesel—a renewable fuel that’s transforming the energy landscape.
Biodiesel is created through the transesterification of lipids, such as vegetable
oils and animal fats, with alcohol (methyl or ethyl). This process converts these
lipids into fatty acid esters, resulting in a fuel that closely resembles diesel.
Biodiesel can be derived from a variety of feedstocks—traditional ones like
soybean and sunflower oil, and non-traditional options like Mahua and
Karanja.

Feedstock Types

Biodiesel feedstocks fall into two primary categories:

  • Low Grade Feed Stock: This includes used cooking oil, palm and other
    acid oils, and spent earth oil.
  • High Grade Feed Stock: Comprises refined vegetable oils such as palm,
    soybean, sunflower, and canola.

Selecting the right feedstock is essential for optimizing yields and product quality, and that’s where DVC Process Technologists excels!

Biodiesel Blends and Their Importance

Biodiesel can be blended with conventional diesel, creating products
recognized by the & factor, which indicates the percentage of biodiesel in the
mix. Common blends include:

  • B100: 100% biodiesel
  • B20: 20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel
  • B5: 5% biodiesel, 95% petroleum diesel
  • B2: 2% biodiesel, 98% petroleum diesel

These blends are essential for meeting regulatory standards and enhancing the sustainability of diesel fuel.

Cutting-Edge Biodiesel Production Plant

DVC’s biodiesel production plants are designed to meet EU (EN 14214) and BIS 15607:2005 standards, ensuring that our biodiesel is not only sustainable but also of the highest quality. The production process involves several critical stages:

  1. Pre-treatment: Prepares the feedstock by removing impurities and
    converting free fatty acids into neutral oils.
  2. Transesterification: The heart of biodiesel production where oils and
    fats are transformed into biodiesel.
  3. Methanol Rectification: Recovers and purifies methanol to ensure
    maximum yield.
  4. FAME Distillation: Produces a colourless and odourless biodiesel
    product.
  5. Glycerin Treatment: Processes crude glycerin into a purer, usable form.

Benefits of Our Advanced Technology

Pre-treatment Section Benefits:

  • Effective Degumming: Removes unsaponifiable matter, ensuring high-quality feedstock.
  • Bleaching: Eliminates metals, non-metals, and colouring pigments.
  • Glycerolysis: Reduces free fatty acid content sustainably.
  • Deacidification: Prepares glycerides for efficient transesterification.

Transesterification Benefits:

  • Higher conversion rates with effective mixing and lower catalyst consumption.
  • Achieve over 98% ester content before distillation.

Methanol Rectification Benefits:

  • Recover up to 9.5% methanol from wet feed.
  • Achieve methanol purity of over 99.5%.

FAME Distillation Benefits:

  • Maximize yield with effective vacuum systems.
  • Produce biodiesel with minimum 99.5% ester content.
