Christof - Multi Feedstock Biodiesel Plant
From Waste Recycling
Developing alternatives to fossil fuels is one of the greatest challenges facing mankind this century. Christof Industries has made extensive efforts in the research and development of revolutionary processes for the production of bio-diesel. Our patented technology makes it possible to produce valuable bio-diesel from cheap raw materials and oil waste (in line with quality standards EN 14214 and ASTM-D6751-02).

Greater Quantities of Bio-Diesel
The advantage of our patented process is that it is possible to use unpurified raw oils, resulting in far greater quantities of bio-diesel than in traditional processes. The process has been perfected so that not only the desired bio-diesel, but also numerous by-products (e.g. agricultural fertilisers, pharmaceutical raw materials) are commercialisable.
Efficiency Thanks to Flexible “Feed”
The multi-feedstock bio-diesel plant makes it possible to process not only unpurified rapeseed oil, but a diverse range of spent cooking oils, spent cooking fat, fatty acids and other vegetable oils (cottonseed oil, corn oil, etc.) of varying quality (FFA content). Whichever raw materials are cheapest under the given market and price conditions can be used. Description of the bio-diesel process
Made-to-Measure Plants
In line with our customers’ requirements, we can plan, develop and construct multi-feedstock bio-diesel plants of any size. Currently, plants with an annual output of up to 250,000 t of bio-diesel are in operation. Christof Industries’ decades of experience in the construction of industrial plants, coupled with innovative technology derived from our in-house research and development activities, ensure utmost reliability and efficiency in the implementation of projects.
Advantages
- Greater bio-diesel output (profitability) through the exploitation of by-product flows
- Use of waste materials as well as low-quality and therefore cheap raw materials (cooking oils, animal fats, spent oils, spent fat)
- Low production costs thanks to a regenerable catalyser
- Simple additional/upgrade module for all existing ester interchange technologies
- Mobile container plant up to 9000 yato
- Simple connection and operations
- Bespoke solutions possible
- Amortisation within three years

Description of the Process
The multi-feedstock bio-diesel plant is designed for continual running (330 running days). Standard plant dimensions are 60,000 yato or 250,000 yato. The multi-feedstock bio-diesel plant makes it possible to process not only unpurified rapeseed oil, but a diverse range of spent cooking oils, spent cooking fat, and other vegetable oils (cottonseed oil, corn oil, fatty acids, etc.) of varying quality (FFA content). The mutli-feedstock bio-diesel plant has significant advantages compared to conventional plants as a result of this variety in suitable raw materials.
- Availability of raw materials in different markets
- Guaranteed ability to respond to changes in price for various raw materials
- Highest quantities of bio-diesel even when using low-quality raw materials
- Highest quality bio-diesel (EN14214), regardless of the raw material used
Because bio-diesel technology utilises a closed process, the only product streams which are generated are bio-diesel, potassium sulphate (a high-grade fertiliser), technical grade glycerine and fluid rich in lecithin (when using certain fresh vegetable oils). No waste water is produced during the bio-diesel process (transesterification), so there is no need for a waste water purification unit.
The glycerine that is produced is technical grade with a glycerine content of more than 80%, meaning that the production of more highly concentrated glycerine is avoided, while the product water and the minimal quantity of fresh water introduced in the bio-diesel process via the glycerine can be re-used.
Water is added only during the pre-purification of impure raw materials (e.g. spent cooking oils and fats). Solid and liquid impurities as well as vegetable oil residues are then captured by the fluid rich in lecithin, which in turn can be used to fuel a bio-gas plant thanks to the resulting high percentage of organic content.
The bio-diesel plant is made up of the following main components:
- Tanks for storing raw materials and finished products
- Pre-purification and raw oil dehydration
- Pre-transesterification
- Transesterification
- Glycerine processing
- Methanol recovery
- Resource provision
