Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, ethyl. or propyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat) with an alcohol producing fatty-acid esters. Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and making it distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuel converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petrodiesel in any proportions.
Viesel Fuel, LLC provides Biodiesel to South Florida that has been specially manufactured at their facility in Stuart, FL. Viesel Fuel collaborated with Novozymes and Tactical Fabrication to develop and implement a biodiesel production process that uses an enzyme to produce at a rate of 7 million gallons annually. The process is easily scalable to larger capacities. Being able to recover and reuse of the enzymes to catalyze several batches makes the entire process economically feasible. Additionally, this process requires a lower capital investment, works at a production cost per gallon that is comparable to that of traditional biodiesel, and most importantly, allows the use of less expensive, more varied feed stocks with free fatty acid content as high as 100%.
Biodiesel is certainly a green alternative to regular diesel or unleaded fuels. Companies like Viesel Fuel are using innovative processes to make Biodiesel more available on a mass scale. For more information about Viesel Fuel please visit www.vieselfuel.com
