Filtration of biofuels and biodiesel to recover oil from exhausted adjuvants

Updates / April 2024

Filtration of biofuels and biodiesel using FVO and FOC is crucial to ensure oil purification and recovery of exhausted adjuvants, contributing to the creation of sustainable energy sources.

Impurities typically present in biofuels and biodiesel, such as fats or plant residues, must be removed before use through the filtration process, essential to guarantee the product’s maximum quality. In the first step, FVO filters are used to remove larger impurities, which remain trapped in the kieselguhr. These then pass through FRS filters, allowing the recovery of the oil still present within them. The system operates by rotating a filtering drum that separates the oil from solid particles, creating a vacuum.

This process provides a final product compliant with quality and safety standards, making it usable as a sustainable energy source and contributing to the reduction of harmful emissions.
