Biodiesel Feedstock Characterization and Process Optimization

Benefuel Sarnia Ltd.开发了一种新颖的专利催化工艺ENSEL®，用于将可再生原料提炼成各种高利润产品，包括燃料，油脂化学品和可生物降解的润滑剂-全球市场估计超过1000亿美元。 Benefuel通过与兰顿学院的生物工业过程研究中心（BPRC）合作的这个拟议项目，计划为Benefuel计划为他们的全规模生物柴油设施购买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。中试工厂的运行决定了需要进行大量的分析和方法开发，以在原料进入生产过程之前确定其特性。 BPRC研究小组将与Benefuel密切合作开展该项目。该项目将有助于一个新的7350万美元的低碳先进制造设施的成功商业化，并将直接雇用45个新的全职工作岗位，年薪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.
