We manufacture lab-scale benchtop biodiesel manufacturing units.

Biodiesel is an eco-friendly, alternative diesel fuel prepared from renewable resources such as vegetable oils & animal fats. These natural oils & fats are made up of triglycerides, which, when reacted chemically with lower alcohols in the presence of a catalyst, result in fatty acid esters. These esters show a striking similarity to petroleum derived diesel & are called biodiesel.

Edible oils such as soyabean & sunflower oils, as well as non-edible oils such as jatropha, karanjia & rice-bran oil can be used to produce biodiesel.

Advantages of biodiesel over conventional petroleum diesel are as follows :-
1. Higher cetane rating, hence less knocking
2. Better lubricity
3. Environmental benefits due to cleaner burning
4. Made from renewable sources; can be prepared locally
5. Non-edible oil plants grow on wasteland (arid & semi-arid region) & require almost no post-plantation management & care
6. More economical than petroleum diesel

The lab-scale biodiesel production unit consists of equipments for the following steps :-
1. Conversion of vegetable oil to biodiesel
2. Separation & washing of biodiesel produced

They are used in colleges/institutes for demonstration to students & for practicals in fermentation technology. They find application in research laboratories for the purpose of process development & scale-up.

Salient features of our product are as follows :-

1. Adequate safety features incorporated
2. Dry washing & filtration system, which significantly reduces overall biodiesel production time & cost
3. Low saponification of oil
4. Suitable for continuous, heterogeneous catalytic reaction, using solid catalyst
5. Available in 3 sizes – 5, 10 & 15 litres
6. Suitable for batch & continuous modes
7. User friendly; easy to operate, clean, & store
8. Design suitable for facilitating scale-up to commercial levels

We manufacture & supply very low cost benchtop laboratory scale biodiesel production units.
These are ideal for use in colleges/institutes for demonstration to students & for practicals in biodiesel production.
They are also useful for basic research in biodiesel production technology & for production of small quantities of biodiesel for project pilot testing, market research, etc., at a very low investment.
They are available in 3 sizes – 1, 2 & 3 litre total volume.
All facilities such as raw material charging, transesterification reaction at various controlled temperatures, stirring at various speeds, layer separation, washing, etc. are provided.
Equipment construction is in borosilicate (pyrex) glass with clear visibility.
The system is compact, simple to operate, silent, consumes very less power, works on single phase, & requires almost zero maintenance.

Additional Information:
