Pretreatment systems for biofuels

Demand for biofuels from edible, inedible or used fats and oils keeps increasing every year and is driven by factors such as blending mandates and sustainability. Besides biodiesel based on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVOs) have recently gained ground due to superior diesel qualities, including those appropriate for jet fuel applications. Alfa Laval has a market-leading position with respect to pretreatment process systems for any raw material for these biofuels.
