Biodiesel

OPTIONS

US Centrifuge systems expands range of centrifugal separation equipment for a variety of renewable energy and alternative fuel applications including biodiesel and algae processing.

Biodiesel centrifuge options:

As The Exclusive North American Distributor for Macfuge High-Speed Disc Centrifuges, US Centrifuge offers an extensive selection of separation solutions for Biodiesel processing.
With hundreds of installations worldwide, Macfuge has been a pioneer in separation solutions for the biodiesel industry. This innovative technology has been successfully implemented for the multiple feedstock pre-treatments, for both traditional biodiesel (FAME) and new generation biodiesel (green diesel, renewable diesel, HVO).

Applications:

Our centrifuges offer a wide range of solutions designed to boost the value of the crude oil to be used in Biodiesel production.

Transesterification

Centrifuges are a proven and competitive solution for the purification and cleaning of Biodiesel FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester), to separate glycerin, soaps, water, and other contaminants which may be present during transesterification.

Pretreatments

  • For Biodiesel Pretreatments we offer similar separation solutions for the cleaning, neutralization and esterification, which make possible and effective the use of lower grade feedstocks for biodiesel production, such as fatty acids, waste oils, animal fats, tallow, and used cooking oil (UCO).
  • For Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) Pretreatments, these high-speed disc centrifuges have been tailored for integration in the multiple feedstock pretreatment lines, a necessary complement to the new generation of bio-refineries. These refineries adopt hydrotreatment and hydrogenation techniques to produce bio-fuel (HVO, green fuel, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, SAF), or bio-chemicals, from a large number of renewable feedstocks.

The right solution to fit your needs

We offer a substantial selection of both Manual Discharge and Automatic Dischargemodels available in Explosion Proof configuration for Hazardous Areas and with a selection of corrosion resistant construction materials to fit your individual needs.

BIODIESEL CENTRIFUGE ADVANTAGES

US Centrifuge Systems supplied separation equipment can dramatically increase biodiesel production capacity and reduce process time compared to several days generally required for settling. Centrifuges range from 5-gpm to 60-gpm.

US Centrifuge Systems biodiesel separation equipment and systems will reduce production costs and increase productivity for a rapid return on investment for plants looking to improve production capacities.
