Highly efficient Biofuel Filtration and separation of clarified biodiesel from the transesterified Vegetable oil using a magnesium silicate dry wash procedure produces diesel fuel, capable of meeting or exceeding ASTM-D6571 requirements. Pilot scale filters and testing are available on site, or in our labs.
In the Dry Washing Step, impurities are adsorbed onto the magnesium silicate. Purified biodiesel liquid must then be separated from the solid dry wash adsorbent which is loaded with impurities. Following a final filtration, the clarified biodiesel will then be ready for storage. The solid by-product containing glycerin may be reprocessed or sold for a variety of uses including animal feed, fertilizer and soap
