Biodiesel Process Systems from KMPS |
|
In the rapidly changing and expanding biodiesel industry KMPS has
become a leader in biodiesel purification and methanol recovery. KMPS designs and builds complete modular process systems to meet the purification and recovery needs of the biodiesel industry. Our customers’ raw materials include soy bean oil, yellow grease, chicken fat, beef tallow and other animal fat and plant oil sources. Please contact us to determine if Koch Modular Process Systems can help you cost effectively meet your biodiesel purification objectives. Please fill out an on-line inquiry here or call us at 201-368-2929 (ask for Brian Loftus or Heskel Baher) and we would be pleased to discuss your requirements in detail. KMPS also provides process studies, laboratory and pilot testing, VLE development and complete process design engineering packages. Cost effective solutions to difficult separations are our specialty. |

Past Experience with Biodiesel |
 KMPS designed and supplied a commercial biodiesel purification
unit to a Midwest customer in 2003. The objective of this unit
was to purify methyl esters by vacuum distillation from a crude
biodiesel stream which includes impurities such as water, methanol,
glycerin, mono-glycerides, di-glycerides, tri-glycerides and
other high boilers. This plant has been successfully operating
for over 3 years.
Currently KMPS is designing and building three new biodiesel purification projects, including a system for one of the largest capacity biodiesel plants in the North America. These current projects focus on the recovery of methanol from the post trans-esterification crude biodiesel and glycerin phases. KMPS is also providing a soybean oil scrubber to minimize methanol emissions to comply with environmental legislation. Additionally, KMPS has performed extensive pilot scale testing of several biodiesel purification and methanol recovery processes at our Houston, Texas Pilot Plant development facility. KMPS has the expertise and know-how to design, build and guarantee biodiesel purification and methanol recovery processes, including but not limited to the following. |
|
Separation of Biodiesel from Impurities |
|
| KMPS can successfully separate biodiesel from methanol, glycerin and high boiling impurities to produce ASTM grade biodiesel. | |
Methyl Ester Purification |
|
| KMPS can successfully fractionate and recover specific methyl esters based upon boiling point range. | |
Methanol Recovery |
|
| KMPS is able to design and guarantee recovery of high purity methanol from the post reaction crude biodiesel and glycerin phases. | |
Methanol Scrubbing |
|
| Reduction of plant methanol emissions through absorption using soy bean oil. | |
