Solutions by Application
Fuel Purification & Transesterification
Support clean, efficient fuel production with Evonik’s high-purity catalysts and adsorbents:
- Potassium Methylate Solution – Reliable transesterification catalyst for biodiesel production.
- Sodium Methylate Solution – High-performance base catalyst for consistent biodiesel quality.
- Purocel RI-PSD Opt – High performance adsorbent to polish fuel, improving color, odor, sulfur & other metal impurities. A sustainable solution that can be regenerated for several hundred cycles before disposing, and disposed of after regeneration, making it non-hazardous and helping customers reduce their disposal liability.
- Rocket Technology – Skid mounted, multi-column modular unit for polishing fuel using Purocel RI-PSD Opt as media.
