Enquiry No. : 6033034 Qld (Australia)
Description :Please provide me with the quotation for 12000 ltr/day plant
Answer the following clearly.
What is the capacity of the system, in terms of L/hour
production?
What is the production yield?
Which conversion process is used? Could be:
Base catalyzed transesterification
Acid-base two stage transesterification
Conversion of oil to fatty acids, then esterification through
an acid catalyzed process
Is it a batch process or a continuous process?
What feedstock was the system designed for, in terms of
Oil, specifically the quality of oil, the maximum free fatty
acid content allowable (will depend on the conversion process
used)
Waste vegetable oils-
Trap grease
Tallow
Virgin vegetable oils-
Alcohol used
Methanol
Ethanol
Catalyst used if a base catalysed reaction
Koh-
Naoh
Please note that our recipe of oil has (canola, poppy, eucalyptus
(35%siniol) and ethanol)
Are there any safety measures in place?
Eg. Extraction of methanol vapors-
How long is the reaction time (if it is a batch process)?
What is the level of automation/required level of operator
intervention?
Could include loading of materials, or for example physically
emptying the reaction vessel and piping the mix to the separation
equipment in a batch process
What are the power/water/steam requirements?
Details of the physical size/layout of the plant
Has the bio-diesel produced by the process been tested to
confirm adherence to international bio-diesel standards?
Is the system just the individual process components or a
turnkey facility?
What is the bio-diesel/glycerin separation process?
Passive settling method
Active centrifugal process
What are the maintenance requirements?
Downtime, frequency? -
Replacement of parts? - there are few parts that need any
replacement. Shall provide this in a technical report.
Are any specialized parts used? -.
What materials are used? -.
Expected plant lifetime? -
Is an alcohol recovery system implemented?
How (or is? ) is the bio-diesel cleaned after separation?
Does the system include testing equipment? (unlikely)-
What is the composition of end products
Glycerin product, I. E. Does the system include a post
production refining process to improve the quality of the
glycerin
