Biodiesel production from palm oil begins with refining the oil to remove free fatty acids. Then, the transesterification process takes place, where methanol and a catalyst convert the oil into biodiesel. Glycerin is removed as a byproduct. The GlobeCore USB plant enhances this by maintaining optimal chemical reaction conditions, ensuring clean separation, and offering methanol recovery. The resulting biodiesel is high quality, meeting EN and ASTM standards, and suitable for commercial use.
