Ceimici Novel Ltd., an Irish biodiesel technology company, has launched Smart Catalyst for biodiesel production. The catalyst system is heterogeneous and is simply recovered using filtration.No unwanted by-products are produced.
Smart Catalyst technology provides for a scalable and continuous biodiesel manufacturing. The process operates at atmospheric pressure and at low temperature.The reaction is complete in less than 10 seconds.
John Doherty, CEO, said “this is the key to scale of worldwide biodiesel production for fuel security - unlocking the processing potential of 1st and 2nd generation feedstocks at a very low capex entry level.
Smart Catalyst produces glycerol at 98+ %.
This redefines the current low value waste stream as a co-product stream with full value. Further, additional value may be obtained by processing glycerol to derivatives such as glycerol formal, glycerol carbonate or glycidol.
This development opens up Biodiesel manufacture to SME’s by substantially reducing the cost of entry.
Current installations are readily and inexpensively retrofitted delivering lower operating costs, improved plant utilization and a substantial increase in capacity.
