Safe and reliable plant operations and on-specification products are the goal of every chemical process, but this does not come easily. Process feed contaminants can lower product quality or cause by-product formation. Process feed contaminants may cause off-specification products, reduced catalyst yield or increased catalyst consumption, all of which negatively impact profitability and sustainability.

As a bridging technology, biodiesel can be produced from diverse feedstocks, including recycled cooking oil and second-generation raw materials such as Jatropha curcas or algae, which do not compete with food cultivation. We have accompanied the development of biodiesel since the start of commercial production. In addition to traditional feedstocks, we focus on second-generation raw materials. These include above all Jatropha curcas or algae, whose harvest does not compete with food cultivation.
