Durco Biodiesel Equipment – Biodiesel Dry Washing Systems, Biodiesel Pressure Leaf Filter & Biodiesel Filter Press Systems
Durco Biodiesel Dry Washing & Filtration Systems Significantly Reduce Biodiesel Process Time, Biodiesel Plant Start-Up & Operating Costs, & Decrease The Environmental Impact Of Biodiesel Production
Improved Biodiesel Dry Washing & Filtration Systems Benefits
Durco Biodiesel Dry Washing & Filtration Systems:
Reduce overall biodiesel production time and cost because they completely eliminate the need for an oil/water emulsion separation stage or a drying stage.
Significantly reduce biodiesel plant start-up and operating costs by eliminating the capital and maintenance associated with traditional washing equipment.
Are highly efficient and more environmentally friendly biodiesel processing systems without water effluent waste streams (which are normally hazardous by-products of traditional biodiesel washing and drying techniques)
Durco Biodiesel Dry Washing & Filtration Systems supersede traditional water washing or bubble washing equipment to achieve highly efficient separation of the transesterified biodiesel process stream into clarified biodiesel (methyl-ester) end-product and recyclable by-product.
Durco Biodiesel Dry Washing & Filtration Systems use a unique magnesium silicate dry wash process to achieveproduction of high quality biodiesel fuel, capable of meeting or exceeding ASTM-D6571 requirements. Pilot scale testing facilities are available to validate product specifications for Your specific biodiesel process in Your specific plant*.

More About Durco Biodiesel Dry Washing Systems
|
Following transesterification, the unwashed biodiesel stream is sent to a dry wash mixing tank and intimately combined with a small amount of magnesium silicate adsorbant. After this short "dry-washing" process, the process stream is sent to a biodiesel filter that separates the purified biodiesel liquid from the solid dry wash adsorbant. The clean and dry biodiesel product is now ready for storage. The solid by-product may be sold for a variety of uses including animal feed & fertilizer. |
A Choice Of 2 Filtration Technologies For Biodiesel Plant
Following the Dry Washing Step, a Filtration Step then removes the contaminated adsorbent, and all other particulate as small as 1 micron, using one of 2 highly proven technologies:
Durco Filter Presses are ideal for cost-effective, low-lead time, filtering of biodiesel streams with solids loadings from 0.1-3 wt% solids, at temperatures up to 170F.
More About Durco Filter Press Technology For Biodiesel Plant
Durco Pressure Leaf Filters are ideal for automated filtering of biodiesel process streams with a wide range of solids loadings. They also provide high temperature performance for enhanced biodiesel washing.
More About Durco Pressure Leaf Filter Technology For Biodiesel Plant
A wide range of suspended solids (typically 2-3%, by weight) may be removed, with the optimum choice of filter technology depending on the size of the biodiesel production operation and several other process factors. Fully automated operation and an optional fail-safe bag filter station are also offered.
Dry Washing & Filtration For Biodiesel And Other Applications
Durco Biodiesel Dry Washing And Filtration Systems are available as complete turnkey packages. Individual filter units can also be integrated into existing biodiesel production, or indeed any general silicate (ex. Magnesol or Trisyl Silica) filtering plant.
By choosing the optimum Durco filtration technology, any dry washing or other particulate filtering system can be configured to handle a wide range of flow rates from virtually any industrial process stream. Batch or continuous production operations can both be supported. Consult a Durco filtration engineer to arrange testing and analysis of your biodiesel process stream and determine the best technology for your operation:
