    Sunflower oil cannot be used directly in modern diesel engines due to its high viscosity and risk of carbon buildup. However, it becomes a suitable diesel alternative after undergoing transesterification. This chemical reaction transforms the oil into biodiesel, a fuel compatible with diesel engines. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant is designed to carry out this process with precision, offering high yield, excellent fuel properties, and compliance with international biodiesel quality standards. It’s an efficient way to turn sunflower oil into a usable, eco-friendly fuel source.
