Chicken fat contains a balanced mix of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, with a moderate proportion of oleic and palmitic acids. This leads to good biodiesel yield, a high cetane number, and decent cold flow properties. However, saturated fats can raise cloud and pour points, impacting performance in cold climates. Chicken fat’s moderate FFA content may require pretreatment. The GlobeCore USB system handles this efficiently, ensuring clean transesterification and stable fuel that meets ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 standards.
