    Sunflower oil is converted into biofuel through a process called transesterification, where the oil reacts with methanol and a catalyst (like sodium hydroxide). This separates glycerin from the fatty acid chains, forming biodiesel. Using the GlobeCore USB biodiesel production plant, the process is automated and optimized for speed, safety, and fuel quality. The unit handles mixing, heating, reacting, and separating, reducing labor and ensuring compliance with EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 fuel standards. It’s an ideal solution for farms, co-ops, or businesses looking to turn sunflower oil into usable fuel.
