Challenge/Opportunity:

The Biox biodiesel production process takes non-food-based fats and oils from biomass and converts them to clean burning, renewable fuel and other co-products.

Biox is in the process of upgrading their Sombra facility and optimizing their process which will require technical support including analytical testing and process optimization.

Solution/Collaboration:

The collaborative project will address the following initiatives:

• Upgrading the current plant to suit various non-food-based fats and oils
• Increasing plant capacity by 50%
• Full-scale sulphur analysis on feedstock through to finished product to find treatment technologies
• Glycerol upgrading studies
