Biodiesel
Production
 Vecenergy
has partnered with Biodiesel de Andalucia (BIDA), a
European technology firm that conducted extensive
research with Spain’s prestigious University of Cordoba,
that has developed a breakthrough, patented, continuous
process for producing biodiesel. The Vecenergy BIDA
production process increases throughput, with consistent
high quality, while reducing start-up and operational
costs. See Vecenergy BIDA

Biodiesel
Basics
-
Biodiesel is a
renewable alternative
fuel made entirely from vegetable oils
or animal fats.
-
Biodiesel can be
used as either a
full-strength alternative fuel or
blended into petroleum-based diesel.
-
Biodiesel burns
cleanly, reducing harmful emissions into the Earth’s
atmosphere.
-
It also improves
engine lubricity for
better performance and longer
engine life.
-
Biodiesel reduces
dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels.
-
Biodiesel is
well-established in
Europe and quickly gaining
a foothold in the United States
and the rest of the world.

Multiple Feedstocks, Simultaneously
Vecenergy BIDA produces biodiesel using a wide variety
of feedstocks simultaneously. This is made possible
through an exclusive, internationally patented process,
while other methods require the use of one type of
feedstock at a time.
Vecenergy
BIDA biodiesel facilities can use whatever feedstocks
are most economically available under prevailing market
conditions:
■ Soybean
Oil
■ Rapeseed Oil
■ Palm Oil
■ Used Vegetable Oil
■ Animal Fats
■ Or Others
Continuous Output
Another major Vecenergy BIDA
advantage is its continuous production
process. Other facilities
can produce only one or multiple
batch(es) of biodiesel at a time,
a slower, more expensive and less
quality-consistent process. Our
patented, continuous production
method ensures very consistent,
high-quality, high volume biodiesel
output that meets the industry’s
strictest specifications.
Combined with our multiple
feedstock capabilities, this
scientific and world-class
engineering innovation is a
system that:
■ Produces quality biodiesel
that meets or exceeds EU and
US specifications
■ Utilizes the most economical and
available feedstocks
■ Reduces requirements for
capital and plant size when scaling
up production capacity.
■ Minimum-sized footprint for
production facility
■ Operates continuously without
the need to shut down, clean, or
prepare equipment for changes
in feedstock
The result is an amazing
breakthrough in biodiesel
production efficiency. The
first plant using this
technology is operating in Spain.
Through the Vecenergy BIDA partnership,
we are able to bring this exclusive
new technology to additional markets, with plants in the planning,
design and construction stage.
