Pork fat is typically rendered through wet or dry heating to separate fat from tissue. This process melts the fat, which is then filtered to remove solids. Further refining includes degumming, deacidification, and drying to reduce free fatty acids (FFAs) and moisture. Pre-treatment is vital to avoid soap formation during transesterification. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant handles rendered fat with integrated heating, mixing, and chemical dosing systems, ensuring it is properly conditioned and efficiently converted into high-quality biodiesel.
