biodiesel from recycled cooking oils

Alkoxide Analytics

For many years our analytical labs have been working on the alkoxide-catalyzed transesterification process and the quality characteristics of the target product biodiesel. In addition to production-related analysis, we also examine your raw materials and end products. Based on the results of our analytical tests, you benefit from our consulting competency, for example, through avoiding yield losses or irregularities in the production process.

Our engineering optimizes your processes

Know-how for greater plant efficiency

Our work focuses on process optimization to provide economic benefits to the biodiesel industry. The goal is always to make the plants more cost-efficient and more effective. The topics range from the use of new oils and the optimization of individual reaction and separation stages in existing biodiesel procedures to how capacity expansions of 20 to 30 percent can be achieved cost-effectively through elimination of bottlenecks in the existing plants. 

In these projects, we support you with interdisciplinary teams from development of the solution through preselection and testing in our labs or technical centers and finally, to successful large-scale implementation.

Our goal is to make your biodiesel plants more cost-efficient and more effective. 
Our goal is to make your biodiesel plants more cost-efficient and more effective. 

We advise you from project management to commissioning

International experience

The core competency in the engineering sector is in the planning and construction of production plants - domestically and internationally. In the biodiesel area, we focus on optimization measures such as the elimination of bottlenecks. Our range of services covers:

  • Project management including quality, cost, and schedule controlling
  • Planning services such as potential analyses, basic and detailed planning
  • Specialist services from apparatus technology to production logistics
  • Construction and assembly management
  • And finally, support with commissioning and training of your employees

These services are provided exclusively by competent and experienced engineers, the key reason to ensure that the project goals can be achieved to your fullest satisfaction.
