The plant will now utilize waste materials such as animal fat or used cooking oil to manufacture second- generation bio-diesel while improving the quality of the produced bio-diesel.
Upgrades to the plant will result in 25,000 tons of second-generation bio-diesel in compliance with EN14214/2013 quality standards.
BDI chief sales officer Edgar Ahn remarked the company had now built the expertise to identify the potential improvements that can be made to any plant and then plan and implement customized solutions.
The upgrades were carried out under the BDI RetroFit programme wherein exclusive waste material usage offers both environmental benefits as well as sustainable biodiesel production in compliance with the EU Commission’s quantity targets.
