Olive oil is rich in oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that enhances oxidative stability, combustion, and cold flow. This results in biodiesel with a high cetane number and good long-term storage performance. The low content of free fatty acids also minimizes soap formation during production, improving yield. The GlobeCore USB system capitalizes on these advantages by maintaining optimal conditions for high-purity biodiesel from olive oil.
