Re-Esterification Process Technology
Technical Advantages

Optimized heat recovery system


– Heat recovery between cold feedstock (70C) and hot product (220C)

Fast and Complete reaction


– Short reaction time, require less excess glycerol, continuous water removal

“Simple” and Clean process


– Catalyst / enzyme is NOT required in the reaction

Flexible on feedstock quality


- Feedstock (FFA, Moisture), Glycerine (crude 80%, technical or pharma-grade)

Low FFA content and Low Moisture content in final product


- FFA content of <0.1% in re-esterified oil (ready as biodiesel plant feedstock)
