Biofuel Filtration

Biofuels Literature

Schroeder Industries is delighted to announce that we have been appointed as an exclusive U.S. distributor of the most effective and efficient model of biodiesel purification available today. Filtertechnik, a UK company with extensive purification and filtration experience in the biodiesel market, has chosen Schroeder Industries to launch their biodiesel purification systems in the U.S. market because of our filtration expertise and forward-thinking approach to the booming biofuels market.

With the topic of global warming increasingly on the domestic and international agendas, and with the U.S. government’s 20 by 10 initiative to reduce our carbon emissions and to reduce our reliance on foreign imports, the U.S. is certain to become a world leader in the production of biofuels.

The purification systems work on a proven method of removal of production residues and soaps from Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) derived from vegetable oil feedstock through its absorption in a material called magnesium silicate compound. The compound and the contaminants are completely without the inclusion of additional water. This staged filtration process, proven to be 100% effective, uses purification units that are fitted with a laser particle counter to measure performance. An added benefit is the detailed analysis of particulate contamination and moisture content of your biodiesel. As well as viewing these results live, you can also store them for future reference regarding batch cleanliness. This will be particularly helpful to those producers who operate according to ASTM D-6751 – the highest of U.S. biofuel standards.

A very successful market for this process has been the agricultural market where farmers have the raw material for producing biodiesel as they have an existing integrated supply chain – their industry. Our products are the perfect solution for all serious minded biodiesel producers who want to produce quality fuel efficiently at an affordable price.
