From organic waste to bio fuels. New technology for the optimization of bio diesel
CatLiq® process, a novel Danish 2nd generation fuel technology offers an efficient method to convert renewable residues from agriculture and industry to bio crude oil, which can be further processed to biodiesel. Fuels produced from renewable feed stocks constitute an environmentally friendly alternative in a future where the use of fossil fuel must be drastically reduced. The project aims at improving the efficiency of the CatLiq® process and the quality of the CatLiq® oil. In particular focus is on development of new and improved process catalyst and improvements of energy efficiency. The project is a close cooperation between SCF Technologies A/S, a Danish knowledgebased company within the energy and nano-material business, and leading Danish expertise within nano- and energy technology
The project tested existing and new catalysts in a high technology reactor system. The results may be used for characterising the catalyst mechanism and to manufacture more efficient catalysts. In the SCF CatLiq pilot plant, a mass and energy balance was established for various animal feeds. An advanced model of the CatLiq process enables process simulation and may thus make the use of process energy more efficient. SCF Technologies received EDDP funding for design and planning of a demonstration plant, which the company plans to construct for Vattenfall at the Nordjylland Power Station. (Energy 10)
