Say Goodbye to BioDiesel Discounts
Total Acid Number (TAN) is expressed as the milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the acids in a one-gram sample. High TAN diesel pricing is discounted due to the corrosive effects on machinery components.
Using hydrodynamic cavitation as the core of the process, we produce unique beneficial results unachievable through alternate means used in the industry. Without neutralizing this TAN, and reducing the sulfur content, your full biodiesel value is slipping through your fingers.
First, what is cavitation
Hydrodynamic cavitation is the process of vaporization of water through the rapid decrease of localized pressure in a fluid flow system, below the fluid vapour pressure, thus creating millions of tiny bubbles.
As those bubbles collapse, very high localized temperature, pressures and shock waves are created. This high-level of energy release provides Avonlea with an excellent environment to enhance chemical and physical processes.
How Does Our Cavitation Technology Work for the Biodiesel Industry?
Our plug and play, compact system is modular and can be installed quickly and easily at your facility. Our biodiesel upgrading technology is low-temperature, low-pressure and is fully scalable to your needs. Once set up, Avonlea can help you capture the full value of your product.
How Will Our Technology Benefit Your Biodiesel Business?
Our biodiesel upgrading system will help you in the following ways:
New regulations have significantly restricted allowable sulfur content in fuel to as low as 15ppm. Depending on your local sulfur regulations, you may be looking to find alternate means of addressing this requirement, through blending or further refinement.
Avonlea’s removal of TAN and reduction in sulfur content from your biodiesel will increase sales prices between 10-30% without negatively impacting the other qualities of your biodiesel. Our Cavitech process efficiently and compactly removes TAN and decreases sulfur content up to 40%, depending on your biodiesel’s specific chemical makeup, reducing the need for and scope of blending requirements.
Our technology is customizable and scalable to meet any plant production rate.
We provide a free product assessment and quotation upon request, outlining total treatment effectiveness, and treatment cost per gallon.
Benefits of Avonlea’s Cavitech technology lets your company enjoy:
- Better product pricing
- A broader sales market
- Production of a higher-end biodiesel
- More environmentally friendly results
