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.

Among alternative energy sources, biodiesel, made from a mix of diverse resources such as recycled cooking oil is a bridging technology on the road to sustainable mobility. 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.
