Biodiesel from sunflower oil is produced through a chemical process called transesterification, where triglycerides in the oil react with methanol in the presence of a catalyst, typically sodium or potassium hydroxide. This reaction produces methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerin as a byproduct. Using GlobeCore’s USB biodiesel production plant significantly enhances this process by ensuring proper mixing, temperature control, and continuous operation, resulting in high-quality biodiesel that meets international fuel standards.
