FuelMaker™
Commercial Biodiesel Production System
|
Continuous production of up to 2000 gallons of biodiesel per day
The FuelMaker™ is factory built and is delivered in a sea container as a turnkey system on skids. The plant operator therefore has just one vendor, Green Fuels, providing their biodiesel processing equipment. Site inspection (prior to delivery), connection to facility (at delivery), and start-up (commissioning run) of the FuelMaker™ are included in the sales price. The FuelMaker™ can be installed in a new or existing building. Given its compact and modular design, the FuelMaker™ can be re-located if necessary.
Our product concept is to provide smaller de-centralized plants for regional biodiesel production which reduces logistics costs for the operator. This enables local production close to the source of input oil and/or the use of the biodiesel. Unlike older refinery-like technologies that require large plants constructed on site, Green Fuels' factory built technology is clean, compact, and capable of being transferred to other locations. This has proved of significant importance where financial backers of projects have required a residual value, which cannot be guaranteed for large, site-specific installations. Our design also ensures minimum operating costs with exceptionally low energy consumption and environmental impact. This factor has been crucial in winning orders as customers recognize the importance of decoupling operating costs from increasing energy prices and plant regulation.

Facility costs are minimized by the very small footprint of the FuelMaker™. Leased facilities can be considered. The provision of a suitable concrete base and utility connections are the primary concerns. Our modular factory built designs can reduce biodiesel plant start-up time to less than 6 months.
The FuelMaker™ is ideal for fleet owners, city, and institutional customers who are interested in producing their own biodiesel for fuel independence or carbon reduction programs. Although the FuelMaker™ will run nicely on fresh crushed seed oil, most often the FuelMaker™ will be of interest to those wishing to produce biodiesel from collected Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO). Compared to petroleum diesel, biodiesel (B100) made with WVO saves a net 21.7 pounds of CO2 emissions per gallon.
The system requires no water as the final purification is done using Amberlite™ BD10 Dry™ resin by Dow Chemical. The system produces only very small quantities of waste as 1 lb of resin will treat 200 gallons of raw biodiesel.
