Bio Diesel is a renewable energy source derived
from Vegetable oil or Fat. FenixTM provides technology and
plant for producing the best grade bio diesel from the above
feed stocks.
Experience
in design, manufacture and supply of complete processing
system.
Has the process
engineering and project handling capability.
Has the in house ASPEN process simulation
package for designing the distillation sections coupled
with plant engineering using AUTOCACAD.
Has exported
plants and systems out of India.
Has own manufacturing facility for
core components like structured packing, heat exchangers,
reactors, mixers and distillation columns.
Our range of processes
include:
Feed
Stock Pretreatment
Vegetable oil or animal feed stock
has to meet certain minimum quality criteria to be converted
to Bio Diesel through catalytic conversion. The main
impurities are Free Fatty acids, Phosphorous compounds
and Moisture.
FenixTM with its intensive expertise
in processing of vegetable oils can provide technology
and process for pretreatment of varying stock to produce
feed suitable for bio diesel base
Trans
Esterification
FenixTM Bio Diesel process uses trans esterification
process to convert triglycerides in vegetable oil and fat
into methyl ester almost fully, using methanol and alkali.
The excess methanol is recovered and glycerin water separated
from methyl ester ( Bio diesel) . Bio diesel is then dried
and filtered before storage.
Methanol Recovery
The excess methanol used in the trans esterification
is recovered from the aqueous glycerine phase through distillation
and recycled.
Glycerin Purification
The glycerin water methanol mixture, after
recovery of methanol, can be further distilled to produce
industrial grade glycerin. Small amount of fatty matter is
recovered from the glycerin water through neutralization,
settling and skimming.
