SAVOIA(TM) 400-Litre Bonanza Drum
- The BD2 plant is a single stainless steel vessel, pressurized, electrically heated and isolated batch unit, capable of either base, or base/base processes for transesterifying vegetable oil.
- The plant is skid mounted, self-contained, and can be powered by either 480 or 380 VAC; other voltages are available. Compressed air 10 psi must be provided. The vessel has a 275 litre capacity; it normally processes 240 litres of vegetable oil/alcohol mix, delivering on average 200 litres of Biodiesel and 40 litres of glycerol, per batch, in approximately 11 hours.
- Vegetable oil and alcohol are pumped through ball valves and visual level. The alkali catalyst is pre-measured and then added to the alcohol. The operator to suit different feedstock can modify proportions. Operator pre-set temperature and pressure values are kept automatically.
- Instruments, fail-safe visual and sound alarms are incorporated into the control panel. A pressure relief valve and vent manifold allow outside venting to a service line, complying with both ambient and work safety requirements. Metal bodied, spherical valves, are used throughout.
