    For pork fat, a two-step process is often used: acid-catalyzed esterification to reduce FFAs, followed by base-catalyzed transesterification with methanol and NaOH/KOH. This prevents soap formation and improves yield. Alternatively, hydrotreating (hydrogenation) creates renewable diesel with better cold-flow and storage properties, but it’s capital-intensive. The GlobeCore USB system is optimized for two-stage biodiesel conversion and can handle high-viscosity animal fats while minimizing chemical waste and maximizing conversion rates.

    Yes, biodiesel produced from walnut oil—when processed properly—meets ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 standards. Its low viscosity, good combustion profile, and decent cetane number make it compatible with standard diesel engines, especially in B20–B100 blends. Walnut oil biodiesel offers excellent lubricity and low emissions. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant ensures consistent fuel quality through precise control over reaction parameters and purification, delivering biodiesel suitable for modern engines without modifications.

    Peanut biodiesel offers smooth combustion and good engine performance, especially in blends like B20. As with all biodiesel, fuel filters may clog during initial use due to cleaning effects. B100 may cause issues in cold climates unless additives are used. The GlobeCore USB plant ensures fuel purity and stability, minimizing performance issues and making the biodiesel safe for modern diesel engines without requiring modifications.

    Optimal conditions include a reaction temperature of 55–60°C, a methanol-to-oil ratio of 6:1, and 1% catalyst by weight. Reaction time typically ranges from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on oil quality. Flaxseed oil’s high unsaturation helps the reaction proceed smoothly, but oxidative stability should be monitored. The GlobeCore USB unit ensures these conditions are automatically maintained throughout the batch or continuous process, improving conversion rates and minimizing the need for operator intervention.

    Transesterification involves mixing palm oil with an alcohol (typically methanol) and a catalyst (like NaOH or KOH). The triglycerides in palm oil react to form methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerol. This process requires controlled heating and thorough mixing. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant is designed for this purpose, automating each stage to ensure optimal conversion, quick processing, and clean separation of byproducts. It reduces energy usage and ensures the final biodiesel meets fuel quality standards.
