Bio Diesel Plant

Unitech Services is your reliable partner in the world of renewable energy, offering a range of Bio Diesel Plants that are poised to shape the future of sustainable power. Our biodiesel plant solutions are available in capacities ranging from 1 kiloliter per day (klpd) to 100 klpd and can efficiently process a wide array of oils and fatty acids.

Key Features:

• We specialize in biodiesel production from various oils and fatty acids, making us a versatile choice for your renewable energy needs.
• Our biodiesel plants are designed to accommodate both vegetable and animal-derived edible oils and fats.
• For oils not meeting specific criteria (FFA-Content < 0.1%, Phosphatide Content < 10 Ppm, Sulphur < 5 Ppm, Water Content < 0.10%, Impurities < 0.10%, Temperature 122°F or 50°C), pre-treatment and esterification processes are incorporated.

Transesterification Process:

• The core of our biodiesel production lies in the transesterification process, where triglycerides chemically react with methanol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. This results in the formation of methyl ester (biodiesel) and glycerin.
• Our plant design includes a mixing section for the initial reaction and a settling section to separate methyl esters as the light phase from glycerin water as the heavy phase.
• A counter-current washing step further refines the methyl ester, removing by-product methyl ester to yield pure biodiesel.
• Any excess methanol present in glycerin is removed through a rectification column.
• Our process also involves the purification of industrial-grade glycerin, converting it into pharmaceutical-grade glycerin through a distillation process.
