FuelMatic™
Commercial Biodiesel Production System
|
Continuous production of 5000 gallons of biodiesel per day
The Green Fuels FuelMatic™ biodiesel processing system uses innovative technology scaled down from our larger continuous flow range of plants. We also take advantage of advanced sensors to monitor the fuel production to ensure quality is maintained with flexible feedstocks, including used cooking oil.
The whole system is delivered as a turn-key-project. The customer just has one partner for construction, installation and start-up of the innovative technology. The main components of the plant can be installed within a 40 foot high-top ISO container. However, the plant can also be installed within a new or existing building on bespoke skids. As the plant is compact in size, it is easy to move the whole module, if required.

The biodiesel system is able to use different cold and hot pressed fresh vegetable oils, as well as pre-treated used vegetable oils. In all cases, if the operator of the plant follows the required qualities of the input materials and ensures a constant process operation, the product quality will comply with the requirements of the European biodiesel standard DIN EN 14214, as well as ASTM 6751 standard. It has to be pointed out that used vegetable oils and certain fresh oils like palm oil only can be used for the production of so-called “summer-biodiesel” because the winter-stability can not be ensured. For all different raw materials, a transesterification grade of > 98% and constant product quality will be reached. Green Fuels recommends and distributes Cold Flo 350 to enable summer biodiesel to meet cold flow fuel specifications.
The system requires no water as the final purification is undertaken through Amberlite™ BD10 DRY™ ion exchange resin developed by Rohm and Haas. The system produces only very small quantities of waste products as 1 lb of resin will treat 200 gallons of raw biodiesel.
