Biodiesel production from soybeans begins with oil extraction, usually via mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. The crude soybean oil is then filtered and refined. Next comes transesterification, where the oil reacts with methanol and a catalyst (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to produce biodiesel and glycerin. The final stages involve separation, purification, and drying of the biodiesel. The GlobeCore USB plant streamlines the chemical phase of this process, offering automated heating, mixing, and product separation to ensure consistent biodiesel quality and compliance with fuel standards.
