Set up your own BioDiesel Plant
Action Plan to set up a BioDiesel Plant- Ensure availability of Raw Materials:
Vegetable Oil: Most important oils are Palm Stearin which is available from Crude Palm oil Refineries and Animal Tallow which is available from large Slaughter Houses. Others are Used Cooking Oil (practically not avaible in India and can not be imported), Acid Oil (used by Animal feed industry) and Palm Fatty Acids (good for soap manufacturing). If the last two are used, esterifiction is done first, with Sulphuric Acid as catalyst. This leads to sulphur content in Biodiesel, which can be more than permissible limit. Palm Stearin is produced as a byproduct of refining of Crude Palm oil. It is not edible, hence it is cheaper. It is solid at room temperature. It can now be imported for manufacture of Oleochemicals. Now there is no Import duty. Animal Tallow is available from large slaughter houses. It is used for edible purpose, in bakeries as well as for manufacture of soap. It is solid at room temperature. In India Used Cooking Oil is practically not available as most frying oil is used till end. It can not be imported or exported. Other non edible oils are used for manufacture of soap and are not suitable due to high Free Fatty Acid content. Warning: Quality of Used Cooking Oil and Acid Oils can be low as these may have some cheaper products adulterated with these. This leads to lower yield of Biodiesel. The price of these raw materials should be Rs. 20 less than the price of Diesel at pump. Methanol: 99% purity product is required. Recovered is not favored. Mostly imported from Gulf countries like Qatar (which are rich in Natural Gas) Potassium or Sodium Hydroxide Flakes: 90% pure material (no Moisture) is required. Available from Chlorine-Alkali manufacturing plants. - Sale of Products:
Capacity of BioDiesel Plant: Depending on availability of vegetable oil, its transport, loading / unloading, storage area available at site, capacity can be: - 1,000 liters per day batch plant.
- 2,000 liters per day batch plant.
- 5,000 liters per day batch plant.
- 10,000 liters per day batch plant.
- 20,000 liters per day batch plant.
- 30,000 liters per day batch plant.
- 10,000 liters per day Continuous plant.
- 30,000 liters per day Continuous plant.
- 50,000 liters per day Continuous plant.
- 100,000 liters per day Continuous plant.
In case of Batch type plant, different activities are performed during the batch. These are charging, reaction, settling, purification etc. A batch can be of 5 to 7 hours and 2 batches are in a day, about 11 to 16 hours in 2 shifts. It is good if different raw materials are used (multifeed plant). In case of Continuous plant, all these activities charging, reaction, settling, purification etc. take place all the time. Plant runs on 24 hours basis, (single feed plant). Total Equipment Cost in Rupees | |

Table shows Cost of manufacture of BioDiesel plants, of different capacities. Cost + Profit is the price offered by the Biodiesel Plant Suppliers.
My mission is to assist people who want to set up BioDiesel Plants. By now it is clear that you need to manufacture BioDiesel in order to purify, Used Cooking Oil (UCO), frying oil (of potato wafers etc.) or yellow greases (Animal fat used for frying). Palm Stearin, Acid Oil, waste Animal Tallow and non edible oils, which can be used as raw material. Only these oils are available throughout the year at low price. Disposal of these oils in sewer, is also a problem.
Many people want to set up BioDiesel plants. Most of them try the Process of BioDiesel at Home or in Laboratory. Then they want to set up a full scale plant. There are many plant suppliers, who offer turn-key plants at a very high price, based on oils having restrictions on Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content. In practice you will get oil having a wide range of FFA, and you will have to set your own parameters based on FFA of oil.
I sell designs and drawings to set up your own Biodiesel plant. With my designs and drawings, you can fabricate and erect the Biodiesel plant, in your own town at much lower cost. You can set up Biodiesel plant on your own. Any local fabricator can fabricate BioDiesel Plant for you, if he is given my Detailed Engineering Package. The equipments, bought out items and instruments are simple, which are easily available in developing countries of Asia and Africa. Maintenance of these can be done locally, with local skills. Most of the people who buy the Detailed Engineering Package, have done number of trials for manufacture of Biodiesel on small scale. Based on their experience, they have already formulated their own process parameters. Hence, they do not need process knowhow and they do commissioning themselves.
Batch BioDiesel Plants: I have prepared Detailed Engineering Packages for Batch type BioDiesel plants, for different capacities. These have smaller capacities, and hence, these are based on Batch process. Detailed Engineering Package comprises of Catalyst cum Biodiesel Reactor, Settling Tanks and Dry Washing Columns. Detailed Engineering Package also includes special pre-treatment vessel to reduce free fatty acid content. These are of following capacities : 400 liters per day, 1,000 liters per day, 2,000 liters per day, 5,000 liters per day, 10,000 liters per day, 20,000 liters per day, and 30,000 liters per day.
Continuous BioDiesel Plants: I have also prepared Detailed Engineering Packages for Continuous BioDiesel Plants, with capacities of 10,000, 30,000, 50,000 and 100,000 liters per day. These are designed as Automatic BioDiesel Plants, based on Ultrasonic mixer and Centrifuge (or Settling Tanks). These packages contain

for Information about drawings of Plants.
Project Reports: You can buy basic Project Reports of these Biodiesel plants, in Word and Excel format with full financial analysis. These Biodiesel reports form the basis for Report to be submitted to Bank which is generally prepared by Chartered Acountant associated with the particular bank. These Biodiesel project reports are available for US$ 10 or 750. These are available in US$, any other currency or Indian Rupees.
