This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a continuous flow, fixed-bed heterogeneous catalytic system for production of cost-competitive biodiesel from fish oil. Alaska's fisheries are experiencing a high diesel fuel cost for fishing vessels and boats, while a significant amount of fish oil is discarded from fish processing plants. Converting the low-value fish oil to biodiesel is an environmental friendly solution. The commercially available homogeneous alkali-catalyzed biodiesel production technology is an energy and labor-intensive process, resulting in high processing costs. The proposed technology offers an environmentally friendly process at a reduction of the current costs.The commercial potential of this project will create a value-added and profitable market for fish oil, reduce damage to the marine environment resulting from disposal of fish waste products, and provide Alaska with a renewable fuel that will in turn reduce diesel emissions and fuel costs for remote communities and fisheries.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发一种连续流动、固定床多相催化系统，用于从鱼油中生产具有成本竞争力的生物柴油。阿拉斯加的渔业正经历着渔船和船只的柴油成本居高不下，而大量鱼油被从鱼类加工厂丢弃。将低值鱼油转化为生物柴油是一种环保的解决方案。商业化的均相碱催化生物柴油生产技术是一种能源和劳动力密集型工艺，加工成本较高。该项目的商业潜力将为鱼油创造一个增值和有利可图的市场，减少鱼类废物处理对海洋环境的破坏，并为阿拉斯加提供一种可再生燃料，从而为偏远社区和渔业减少柴油排放和燃料成本。
