Biodiesel Feedstock Characterization and Process Optimization

BeneFuel Sarnia Ltd.开发了一种获得专利的新型催化工艺Ensel®，用于将可再生原料精炼成各种高利润率产品，包括燃料、油脂化学品和可生物降解润滑油-这一全球市场的总价值估计超过1000亿美元。 通过与兰伯顿学院生物工业过程研究中心(BPRC)合作的这一拟议项目，BeneFuel正计划对BeneFuel计划为其全规模生物柴油设施收购的许多不同原料进行实验室规模的方法开发、实验设计和分析。这些原料将从各种来源进行测试。试点工厂的运作决定了在原料进入生产过程之前，需要进行大量的分析和方法开发，以确定原料的特性。 BPRC研究团队将与BeneFuel密切合作，开展该项目。该项目将有助于一个新的价值7350万美元的先进制造设施成功商业化，并将直接雇用45个新的全职工作岗位，年薪为500万美元。

Benefuel Sarnia Ltd. has developed a novel and patented catalytic process ENSEL® for refining renewable feedstock's into a variety of high margin products, including fuel, oleochemicals and biodegradable lubricants - a combined global market estimated at over one hundred billion dollars. Benefuel through this proposed project in collaboration with Lambton College's Bioindustrial Process Research Centre (BPRC) is planning for lab scale method development, experimental design and analysis for the many different feedstocks Benefuel is planning on acquiring for theirfull scale biodiesel facility. These feedstocks will be tested from a variety of sources. The operation of the pilot plant has determined the need for a significant amount of analysis and method development to determine the characteristics of the feedstocks before they enter the production process. The BPRC research team will work closely with Benefuel to carry out the project. This project will contribute to the successful commercialization of a new $73.5 million advanced manufacturing facility with a low carbon foot-print and will directly employ 45 new full-time jobs with a $5 million annual payroll.
