Plants Modular Biodiesel for self-consumption.

The typical relationship for the production of biodiesel is about 1:1. This means that, in general, it takes about 1 liter of oil (or grease) to produce 1 litre of biodiesel. However, it is important to note that this relationship may vary slightly depending on the type of oil used and the specific process of production of biodiesel employee.

Biodiesel B100 can be stored up to three years without losing their efficiency. 

The quality of biodiesel obtained may depend on several factors, among them:

1. Raw materials: The quality and the composition of the oil or fat is used as a raw material for the production of biodiesel can influence the final quality. High-quality oils, such as vegetable oil virgin, tend to produce biodiesel of better quality in comparison with oils or low-quality.

2. Production process: our plants using the method of cavitation ultrasonic provides response times, greater efficiency and better quality of biodiesel produced.

3. Storage and handling: The biodiesel must be properly stored to maintain their quality over time. Exposure to sunlight, excessive heat and moisture can degrade the quality of the biodiesel, so it is important to follow the recommendations of adequate storage.

With the purchase of each production plant is provided a kit of laboratory that allows you to perform analysis to ensure the best quality of the biofuel obtained.

Biodiesel has applications in various sectors, from transport to agriculture and industry:

1. Transport: can be used in diesel vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses and other means of transport which use conventional diesel. It can also be used in boats and railways.

2. Generation of energy: biodiesel can be used in power generators and heating systems, as a cleaner alternative and sustainable to the conventional diesel.

3. Industry: biodiesel is used as a raw material in the production of chemical products, such as lubricants, detergents and other industrial products.

4. Agriculture: The biodiesel can be used in agricultural machinery, such as tractors and harvesters, as an alternative to more sustainable and friendly to the environment.

5. Aviation: Although still in an experimental phase, the biodiesel is also being studied as an alternative to the kerosene used in aviation.

In general, modern diesel engines are designed to operate with blends of biodiesel and conventional diesel, although it is important to follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer or by the computer to determine the maximum proportion of biodiesel that can be used safely.

It is important to note that some diesel engines or older engines high pressure may require modifications or adjustments to function with biodiesel, and it is important to consult a specialist before using biodiesel in these types of engines. In addition, it is also important to ensure that the biodiesel that is used to comply with the standards and technical specifications to ensure safe and effective use.

The choice between biodiesel and conventional diesel depends on several factors and considerations, including environmental, economic and performance. Here we provide some key considerations:

1. Environmental sustainability: The biodiesel is considered more sustainable than the conventional diesel, because it is produced from renewable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats or used cooking oil. To be renewable, contributes to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.

2. Reduction of emissions: The biodiesel tends to have a smaller carbon footprint in comparison with the conventional diesel, which means it produces less emissions of greenhouse gases. However, the precise reduction of emissions can vary depending on the type of feedstock and the production process used.

3. Motor support: biodiesel is compatible with most of the diesel engines exist and can be used in mixture with conventional diesel in different proportions. However, it is important to follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer in terms of the blend of biodiesel to ensure optimal performance and to prevent possible compatibility issues.

4. Performance and efficiency: In terms of performance and energy efficiency, the conventional diesel tends to have an advantage over the biodiesel. Biodiesel has an energy density slightly lower, which may result in a slightly higher consumption in comparison with the conventional diesel.

5. Availability and cost: The conventional diesel has a wide availability and an established infrastructure for your distribution. Biodiesel, though it is increasingly available, you can have an availability limited in certain regions. In addition, the cost of biodiesel can vary depending on the raw materials used and the factors of production, which can affect their economic competitiveness in comparison with the conventional diesel.

In summary, the choice between biodiesel and conventional diesel will depend on your priorities and specific circumstances. If you value the environmental sustainability and want to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, biodiesel can be a favorable option. However, considering the compatibility with your vehicle, the performance and the availability of local, as well as the associated costs to make an informed decision.

Among the most common are: 

1. Transesterification basic: it Is the method most commonly used and consists in mixing oil or fat with an alcohol (usually methanol) in the presence of a catalytic base (such as sodium hydroxide or potassium). This process produces biodiesel (methyl esters or ethyl) and glycerin as a byproduct.

2. Transesterification acid: In this method, we use an acid as a catalyst (such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid) to carry out the transesterification reaction. However, this process is less common due to the need of an additional stage to neutralize the acids present in the biodiesel output.

3. Transesterification, enzyme: This method uses enzymes as catalysts for the transesterification reaction. Although it is more expensive because of the use of enzymes, can be more energy efficient and offer higher yields of high quality biodiesel.

It is a technique that has gained interest in the production of biodiesel in recent years. In this process, energy is used ultrasonic high frequency to accelerate and improve the transesterification reaction.

The ultrasonic cavitation generates vapor bubbles in the liquid by the application of sound waves of high intensity. These bubbles collapse rapidly in a phenomenon known as implosion, generating high temperatures and local pressures. This phenomenon helps to break down the oil molecules and accelerate the transesterification reaction, which reduces the reaction times and improves the efficiency of the process.

Some of the benefits associated with the use of ultrasonic cavitation in the production of biodiesel include:

1. Higher reaction rate: The ultrasonic cavitation accelerates the transesterification reaction, which allows reaction times shorter in comparison with the conventional methods. This can be especially beneficial in terms of production efficiency and time savings.

2. Improvement of the conversion of oil: The intense agitation and high temperatures and pressures generated during the ultrasonic cavitation help to improve the conversion of oil to methyl esters or ethyl, resulting in a higher yield of biodiesel.

3. Lower consumption of catalyst: The ultrasonic cavitation can reduce the amount of catalyst required for the reaction of transesterification, resulting in a more efficient and economically viable.

Our plants modular biodiesel use the method of ultrasonic cavitation for the production of biodiesel. They are designed specifically to meet the needs of self-consumption of transportation companies, fleets of vehicles or machines, agricultural.

They are compact and can be easily installed in the place where it is needed to produce biodiesel. Enable enterprises or farmers to generate their own fuel so efficient and convenient, reducing dependence on external sources and saving costs in the long term.

These plants modular tend to be scalable, which means that you can add additional modules to increase the production capacity according to the needs of the client. This provides flexibility to adapt to the growth of the demand for biodiesel in the time.

In addition, by using the method of ultrasonic cavitation, these plants modular can offer additional benefits, such as response times, greater efficiency and better quality of biodiesel produced.
