Olive oil is processed via base-catalyzed transesterification, where it reacts with methanol and NaOH or KOH under heat and agitation. The resulting biodiesel is separated from glycerin, washed, and dried. The GlobeCore USB plant integrates and automates all these steps—preheating, reaction, settling, and purification—ensuring maximum efficiency and minimal waste, ideal for commercial and artisanal biodiesel producers alike.
