3.00 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

3.01 Process

3.01.01 Introduction The proposed project is a new biodiesel production facility owned by 2B Green BioEnergy and scheduled to be constructed in the Port of Dalhousie, New Brunswick. The projected final production capacity of biodiesel is 70 million litres per year (MMLPY) from various feedstocks, including beef tallow and choice white grease.

The E3 FullSpectrum Processor is a batch biodiesel production process. The E3 processors are factory built, skid mounted and function tested before delivery. This means that they are easy to install and that costs for site engineering and the production facility are kept low. A list of the major capital equipment required for the project is shown in Attachment 7.05.

3.01.02 E3 FullSpectrum Processor The E3 FullSpectrum Biodiesel processor is built to industrial design standards. All raw material and biodiesel wetted parts are made of stainless steel to ensure a long lifetime. The process equipment is from established industrial suppliers that can provide local maintenance, parts and support. The processor is compliant with all North American design standards, including UL, FM and CEC requirements.

The E3 FullSpectrum Biodiesel processor is built for batch processing with an advanced processing technique for maximum range in raw material and maximum yield. This means that the processor is very flexible and can handle any raw material that contains fatty acids such as ordinary vegetable oils but also crude palm oil, used cooking oil (UCO, WCO), animal fat and fish oil with a Free Fatty Acids (FFA) content up to 12%. A high level of automation allows the operator to easily switch from one raw material to another by changing processing recipes. The processor can operate both as a stand alone unit or in conjunction with a large number of other units.

The processor is delivered with a performance guarantee specifying quantity and quality which guarantees that the biodiesel produced will meet ASTM D6751 or EN 14214 standards as long as the raw material specifications and operating instructions are followed.

Information on the E3 FullSpectrum processor is provided in Attachment 7.08.

A typical flow diagram for an E3 FullSpectrum processor is shown below:

2B Green BioEnergy Corp. June 2011 Port of Dalhousie, NB Description of Project Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-2

3.01.03 Biodiesel Chemistry Materials used for producing biodiesel are generally any fats and oils. This specifically is a mixture of triglycerides of different free fatty acids with various carbon chain lengths (typically 10 to 20 carbons in a chain). The transesterification reaction is a reaction between triglycerides and alcohols (typically methanol) under certain conditions to make fatty acid alcohol esters (FAME if using methanol) which is what we call “biodiesel”. This reaction is slow and the reaction rate will be accelerated by adding alkaline catalyst into the reaction mixture. The following diagram shows the alkali-catalyzed transesterification reaction:

O O || || CH2 – O – C – R1 CH3 – O – C – R1 CH2 – OH | O H O | | || | Alkaline || | CH3 – O – C – R2 + 3 HO – C – H ------------> CH3 – O – C – R2 + CH – OH | O | Catalyst O | | || H || | CH2 – O – C – R3 CH3 – O – C – R3 CH2 – OH

(Triglycerides) (Methanol) (Mixture of FAME) (Glycerin)

Page 7: 2B Green BioEnergy Final Project Aug

2B Green BioEnergy Corp. June 2011 Port of Dalhousie, NB Description of Project Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-3

R1, R2, R3 represent the carbon chain of free fatty acids. Theoretically, 1 part of triglycerides needs 3 parts of methanol to make 3 parts of biodiesel and 1 part of glycerol. The reaction temperature needs to be controlled to around 70-80 ºC. A higher temperature increases the reaction rate to make biodiesel faster, but it also increases the possibility of side reactions which leads to low biodiesel yield and quality.

The produced glycerin is a heavier liquid and it settles out from the biodiesel after the reaction is completed. Biodiesel can then be obtained by separating glycerin by draining or other separation methods, such as centrifuging.

The raw oil should be water-free or at very low water levels, since hydrolysis reactions may occur along with transesterification reaction. Hydrolysis will turn the glycerides into free fatty acids which will react with and consume the alkaline catalyst added into the reaction. This side effect not only reduces the catalyst activation, but also forms soaps which cause many problems in the biodiesel process.

3.01.04 Process Flow Diagram The general process for the entire plant can be visualized with a process flow diagram (PFD), which is included as Attachment 7.01.

The Process Design Criteria that is the basis for this Project Plan is included as Attachment 7.02.

3.01.05 Material Handling and Storage Raw Oil

The feedstock used in the process could be various grades of raw oil or fat.

Raw oil is normally delivered in bulk to the site by tanker truck or rail car and stored in dedicated storage tanks in the tank farm. The feedstock will be automatically transferred from the storage tanks to the processors through a charge pump controlled by the operator.

Biodiesel Product The biodiesel product is normally stored in dedicated storage tanks and collected in bulk by tanker trucks or rail cars. Transfer of product from the process to storage, and from storage to collection vehicles, will be through dedicated loading systems. The system totalizes the flow of the biodiesel and provides overfill and grounding protection for the truck or rail car.

Methanol Fresh methanol is normally delivered in bulk to the site by tanker truck and stored in a dedicated storage tank. A dedicated grounding monitoring system protects the unload system and truck, and redundant level monitoring systems prevent tank overfill. The methanol transfer from storage tanks to processors is a sealed system automated by the processor control system.

Page 8: 2B Green BioEnergy Final Project Aug

2B Green BioEnergy Corp. June 2011 Port of Dalhousie, NB Description of Project Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-4

Crude Glycerin The crude glycerin is normally stored in a dedicated tank and collected in bulk by tanker trucks. Transfer of crude glycerin from the processor to storage, and from storage to collection vehicles, will be through over-ground process piping.

Sodium Methylate Sodium methylate used in the process is typically sodium methoxides dissolved in methanol. The methylate is purchased from chemical suppliers and normally delivered in bulk by tanker trucks.with a concentration around 30%. Delivery of methylate from tank to processors is automated via over-ground piping.

Additives Additives generally include antioxidants and wintering agents. Addition of antioxidants increases the biodiesel stability for relatively long-term storage. Wintering agents typically reduce the cloud point of biodiesel and increase its cold flow properties.

Additives are purchased from available fuel additives suppliers usually pre-dissolved in biodiesel. Onsite preparation of high concentration additives is another option by adding the additives into biodiesel with a set ratio.

Wastes The waste products from the biodiesel production will be spent filter media, which will need to be changed every 3-5 weeks. Waste will be contained in dedicated storage equipment and transported by road vehicles for disposal off-site at a certified facility.

Further information about the material handling and storage is given in Attachment 7.02 design criteria.

3.01.06 Energy Balance Each biodiesel processor module requires 884 kW of heat from either hot water or steam for the reaction. Additionally, approximately 500 kW of waste heat from the processor is available for tank heating or other low-value heat requirements. The result is that the net process heat requirement for the processors is very low as long as a use is found for the waste heat.

Energy consumption values based on one metric ton of biodiesel produced are shown below:

Electrical Power, kWh 26 Natural Gas, GJ 0.85

Details for the energy balance are shown on the Mass/Energy Balance (Attachment 7.04) and on the design criteria included as Attachment 7.02.

3.01.07 Mass Balance A simplified mass balance for a single processor module is shown in the table below:

Inputs kg/day Outputs kg/day Raw Oil 90,898 Biodiesel 88,100 Methanol 17,596 Methanol (Recovered) 9,427 Sulfuric Acid 440 Glycerin 11,742 Sodium Methylate 405 Other Losses 250 Citric Acid 180

3.02 Site and Site Development The project site is an approximately three hectare site located on the waterfront to the north of the Town of Dalhousie on the south shore of the Bay of Chaleur. The site is today owned by the Port of Dalhousie Inc., a private entity operated by the Longshoremen. The site is presently vacant. It had in the past been used by Brunswick Mines and Xstarata for the storage of ores, i.e., copper, lead and zinc, all of which are mined locally. The lands were cleaned by Xstarata when they vacated the site. The site is bounded to the north by containment disposal cells used to contain dredged materials from the port; to the south across the rail tracks and William Street to the town property. To the east is the lagoon that separates this peninsula from the lands that had been occupied by the pulp and paper mill and to the west are the waters of the Bay of Chaleur. Development of the project site will require cutting and grading of approximately 10,000 cubic meters of soil, all of which will be reused as fill on the project site. Approximately 10,000 cubic meters of clean engineered fill will be brought onto the site for stabilizing and leveling of the developed project area. Development of the project site will primarily be the responsibility of the Port of Dalhousie. The plant area will be graded such that the land rises slightly at the lot boundaries and all rainfall on the property will be collected and treated prior to discharge. The plant yard and tank farm will be paved with concrete suitable for the truck traffic anticipated. Rainfall on the site will be collected and treated appropriately prior to discharge. Rain falling on the building and collected in downspouts will be discharged directly to a stormwater outfall to the north of the property in the drainage basis on this property. Rainwater falling on the truck traffic area will be collected and passed through an oil / water separator prior to discharge into a bioswale to the north. Water falling on the truck and railcar loading areas will be collected in an underground vault which will be pumped out upon confirmation that the contents are not

Page 10: 2B Green BioEnergy Final Project Aug

2B Green BioEnergy Corp. June 2011 Port of Dalhousie, NB Description of Project Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-6

contaminated. Water falling onto the tank farm area will collect in dry sumps which will be pumped out to the bioswale outfall upon confirmation that the contents are not contaminated. The access road to the plant will tie into existing streets at the southeast corner, which is the intersection of William and George Streets. Rail car access will be provided by installing a switch on the track just to the east of the road intersection, and running a spur along the southern edge of the plant to the tank farm. Ship and barge access will be through an underground pipeline to a loading facility on the West Wharf. The plant site will be fenced with an automated gate. Security cameras and communication equipment to secure the site will be installed. Utilities will be obtained from the various agencies serving the area. Electrical power will be obtained from the local utility who will install their plant transformer at the site boundary. Water for fire suppression and potable uses is available at the southeastern boundry of the site. Sanitary sewage will tie in to existing sanitary conveyance lines. Site general arrangement drawings are shown in Attachment 7.03.

3.03 Buildings and Structures The Port of Dalhousie will construct a new 9,200 square meter building on the site. Approximately one quarter of the building will be occupied by the 2B Green biodiesel plant, and the remainder of the building will be leased to other tenants. The 2B Green portion of the building will house the process equipment, offices, laboratory and control systems. Two tank farm areas will be constructed, one to the north of the building for day tanks and methanol storage, and the other to the west for the main storage tanks. Truck loading and unloading equipment will be installed between the west tank farm and the building. Rail loading/unloading equipment will be installed on the new rail spur at the south end of the west tank farm. The process building to be constructed is generally 61 by 150.8 meters and will be approximately 13 meters high at the roof peak. The eave height of the building will be 7.62 meters. This building will be a metal clad, steel frame building. The building will be designed to meet all aspects of Canada’s National Building Code. The building will have roll-up doors on all sides for installation of the equipment and movement of service materials. Inside the building, about 80% of the 2B Green floor space will be an open area for installation of the process equipment. In this area, the FullSpectrum Processors will be installed along with some of the auxiliary process equipment. The west bay of the building will have a two story office, control room, electrical room and utility area constructed within the main shell. On the ground floor, this bay will have an area devoted to the storage of hazardous materials in totes, an area for installation of process utilities including the plant air compressor, process boiler, chillers and nitrogen supply system, an electrical room for process electrical equipment and a rest room. On its second floor, spaces will be built to house the plant office, the process control room and laboratory. Space will also be provided for parts and maintenance equipment storage. The tank farm for the plant will be built along the north and west sides of the site. The west tank farm will consist of two feedstock tanks, two biodiesel tanks and one glycerin storage tank. The north tank farm will contain a methanol tank, a catalyst tank, two biodiesel holding tanks, and two process vessels. The tank farm area will include space for future day tanks and a future spent methanol tank. All tanks will be installed on a concrete foundation designed for the lateral loads appropriate to the port area. The tank farm area will include secondary containment for all tanks. The secondary containment will be divided into two sections, one to protect the biodiesel and feed stock tanks and one to contain the methanol and catalyst tanks. The main containment area will be surrounded by a wall one meter high with sufficient volume to contain the largest tank plus a 24 hour 100-year rainfall event. The methanol containment

A loading rack with a top loading arm including a platform, gangway and safety cage will be installed for loading biodiesel. Additionally, the electrical transformer will be installed outside.

3.04 Environmental In accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2B Green has contracted CBCL Limited to prepare an environmental screening for the proposed project. The Project Description, as the first step in this process, is provided as a component part of the submission to NRCan. Given the industrial context of the site and the information that is available from recent environmental work undertaken in the area, the identified site appears to be an entirely suitable location for the development and operation of the project. No significant environmental impacts are anticipated. 2B Green will therefore be submitting both the environmental screening federally and the environmental registration documentation provincially pursuant to the New Brunswick Clean Environment Act to the pertinent authorities in a matter of weeks. Following release from the federal and provincial environmental assessment processes, 2B Green will seek the required approvals to develop and operate the proposed plant under the New Brunswick Clean Environment Act and the New Brunswick Clean Air Act. At the same time 2B Green will develop and detail an Environmental Management Plan that will include an Environmental Protection Plan for both construction and operation, a management plan for the handling of hazardous materials, a spill protection plan, a groundwater contamination testing and management plan and a contingency plan.

3.05.02 Facility Description and Use

The project site is currently undeveloped. The proposed project includes the installation of five E3 FullSpectrum biodiesel processor units for the production of fuel grade biodiesel. These processors are automated systems that pump process fluids through a series of vessels where they are heated, cooled, blended and reacted to form biodiesel.

In addition, two tank farms will be built outside the building to house all flammable and combustible fluids used in the process.

The general arrangement of the facility inside and outside of the building is shown on drawing 2310001-GA-002.

A number of flammable and combustible liquids will be used and stored by the facility. The processor input fluids are:

Feedstock which can be vegetable oil or animal fats of various types. This material will differ in combustion properties from lot to lot. The flash point of this material will be no less than 160 °C and typically ranges from 205 °C to 260 °C. Feedstock is a class IIIB Combustible Liquid per NFC and will be stored in tanks in the tank farm.

Methanol, CAS 67-56-1. The flashpoint of methanol is12 °C and its boiling point is 64.7 °C. Methanol is a Class IB Flammable Liquid per NFC and will be stored in tanks in the tank farm.

Sodium Methylate

The process output fluids are:

, CAS 124-41-4 as a 30% solution of methanol. This material has essentially the same flash point and boiling points of methanol and is a Class IB Flammable Liquid per NFC. Sodium Methylate is also referred to as “catalyst” and will be stored in a tank in the tank farm area.

Biodiesel, CAS No. 67784-80-9. Biodiesel is a mixture of a variety of the methyl esters of the fatty acid chains derived from the feed stock. It has a flash point of 130 °C and is a Class IIIB Combustible Liquid per the NFC. Biodiesel will be stored in the tank farm area.

Page 14: 2B Green BioEnergy Final Project Aug

2B Green BioEnergy Corp. June 2011 Port of Dalhousie, NB Description of Project Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-10

Crude Glycerin

, CAS 56-81-5. Crude glycerin has a flash point of 160 °C and is a Class IIIB Combustible Liquid per the NFC. Glycerin will be stored in the tank farm area in a dedicated tank.

3.05.03 Building Occupancy Classification

Each processor is a sealed system with no open tanks or vessels which contain flammable or combustible liquids. The piping system for the facility is entirely closed.

The amount of Flammable Liquid present in the processors at any one time is 31 litres per processor or 156 litres total. This is less than the permissible amount of Class I Flammable Liquids per the NFC.

The amount of Combustible Liquid present in the processors at any one time is approximately 50,000 litres each or 250,000 litres of Class IIIB Combustible Liquid. This is less than the permissible amount of Class IIIB Combustible Liquid in a sprinklered building per the NFC.

No other materials presenting a physical or health hazard are to be used within the building. Therefore, the occupancy meets the requirements of F-1 Factory Industrial Moderate-hazard per the NBC.

3.05.04 Building Construction

The building structure will consists of steel frames with metal cladding, Type II B Construction. The interior of the building shell will be insulated, but otherwise unfinished.

Interior offices, laboratory, equipment rooms and miscellaneous storage areas will be constructed within the building.

A hazardous material storage area will be constructed within the building of concrete blocks with a steel and concrete ceiling. It will have a total floor area of 395 m² and fire rated walls and ceiling at 3 hours.

An electrical equipment room will be constructed within the building with walls and ceiling fire rated at 2 hours.

The overall building dimensions are 61 m x 150.8 m with a total floor area of 9,200 m², of which 2B Green will occupy approximately one quarter. In the 2B Green area there will be some offices occupying a mezzanine area of approximately 385 m² above the ground floor equipment rooms.

Miscellaneous storage area exists within the building of 500 m².

Restrooms occupy 46 m².

The building will be fully sprinklered throughout.

Details of the building are shown on drawings 2310001-GA-010, 020 & 021.

3.05.05 Tank Farm Construction

The tank farms for the facility are located to the north and west of the building as shown on drawing 2310001-GA-002.

Each tank farm area is constructed with concrete floor and containment walls. Two separate containment areas are constructed for methanol and catalyst. The methanol containment area is 416 m², the catalyst containment area is 242 m², the north tank farm containment area is 908 m² and the west tank farm containment area is 1,640 m². The volumes of the containment areas are sufficient to contain the volume of the largest tank plus the 24-hour maximum rainfall.

3.06 Utility Requirements Following are the estimated utility requirements for the plant site:

3.06.01 Electricity Electricity is consumed by the E3 FullSpectrum biodiesel processor to power the motors on the process pumps, process instrumentation and compressors, and at the tank farm to power the motors on the loading and unloading pumps and instrumentation.

Typical electricity consumption for one FullSpectrum processor is listed below. 1) Processor - 801,710 kWh/yr 2) Tank Farm - 17,125 kWh/yr

a. Feedstock - 7,110 kWh/yr b. Biodiesel - 7,110 kWh/yr c. Methanol - 1,244 kWh/yr d. Catalyst - 325 kWh/yr e. Glycerin - 1,333 kWh/yr

3) Total Electricity - 835,957 kWh/yr

The corresponding electricity consumption of the proposed 2B Green 70 MMLPY biodiesel plant is then:

1) Processors (2) - 1,603,420 kWh/yr 2) Tank Farm - 34,250 kWh/yr

a. Feedstock - 14,220 kWh/yr b. Biodiesel - 14,220 kWh/yr c. Methanol - 2,488 kWh/yr d. Catalyst - 650 kWh/yr e. Glycerin - 2,666 kWh/yr

3) Total Electricity - 1,671,914 kWh/yr 3.06.02 Nitrogen Nitrogen gas is consumed by the tank farm vessels to provide blanket gas for safety and to supply vapor dilution for methanol removal from biodiesel in the process.

Typical nitrogen consumption is about 113 LPM at 6.2 bar. Based on continuous operation at 24 hours a day and 350 days a year, the yearly nitrogen consumption requires 57,053 m³/yr, roughly 421,336 kg/yr. If liquid nitrogen is purchased, the liquid nitrogen volume requires 521,456 litres/year.

3.06.03 Compressed Air Compressed air is supplied for instrumentation control across the plant. A separate air compressor system is proposed for this 70 MMLPY biodiesel plant with the capacity of 0.4 LPM at 8 bar.

2B Green BioEnergy Corp. June 2011 Port of Dalhousie, NB Description of Project Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-16

3.06.04 Utility Water Utility water consumption is for housekeeping use only. Process consumption of utility water is zero.

3.06.05 Potable Water Potable water will be used for restrooms and drinking water. The estimated potable water consumption is 3,300 litres per day.

3.06.06 Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer will be connected to the restrooms, utility sinks and laboratory drains only. The estimated sewer flow from all of these sources is 1,350 litres per day.

3.06.07 Boiler Fuel The boiler is used to provide sufficient heat for the process to the FullSpectrum processors through a circulating hot water system. At the tank farm hot water is also used to provide heat to warm up the feedstock before it can be transferred to the processor. The generated heat is also used for maintaining the tank storage temperature of feedstock, biodiesel, and glycerin. Methanol and Catalyst do not require any heat to keep the fluid liquid, even in cold weather.

Typical energy requirement for the boiler and tank farm warming of a single FullSpectrum processor system is listed below.

1) Processor - 4,410 GJ/yr 2) Tank Farm - 1,167 GJ/yr

a. Feedstock Storage Tanks - 252 GJ/yr b. Biodiesel Storage Tanks - 642 GJ/yr c. Feedstock Holding Tanks - 44 GJ/yr d. Biodiesel Holding Tanks - 119 GJ/yr e. Glycerin Storage Tanks - 113 GJ/yr

3) Total Energy Needed - 6,747 GJ/yr

Either on-site produced biodiesel or purchased No. 2 diesel could be used for the boiler fuel. Typical energy density of No.2 Diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel are around 33.2 and 31.9 MJ/kg, respectively. If the heat efficiency of boiler is 80%, the average boiler fuel consumptions to each heating purpose for a single processor are:

No.2 Diesel Fuel Biodiesel Fuel 1) Processor 173,835 kg/yr 180,696 kg/yr 2) Tank Farm 44,004 kg/yr 45,740 kg/yr

a. Feedstock Storage Tanks 9,467 kg/yr 9,840 kg/yr b. Biodiesel Storage Tanks 24,154 kg/yr 25,106 kg/yr c. Feedstock Holding Tanks 1,646 kg/yr 1,710 kg/yr d. Biodiesel Holding Tanks 4,510 kg/yr 4,690 kg/yr

4.02 Process Technology The E3 FullSpectrum biodiesel process is a batch process designed for maximum flexibility in processing a wide variety of oils and fats into biodiesel. The process is developed around modular units of 100,000 litres per day that can be paralleled to provide a variety of plant sizes and configurations. The process can be customized with a variety of pre-treatment and purification options that allow acceptance of low quality oils with the capability to process them into high quality biodiesel with relatively high yields. The key advantages to the process are:

• Ability to blend and process a wide variety of oils and fats. • Batch processing for maximum flexibility • Modular design for managed growth • Water-free purification • High level of energy integration & methanol recovery • Post-treatment to fine tune properties and provide better cold-flow properties. • Highly automated with low consumable and operating costs per unit produced

Options:

• Degumming, drying & filtering feedstock oils & fats • Feedstock pretreatment from 0 to12% and / or 12% to 100% FFA • Integrated FOG rendering (trap to brown grease) • Advanced purification via distillation

Basic Plant Process Details: Oil Pre-Treatment Oil is treated to reduce free fatty acids, dried to

remove water, and filtered to remove solids. Acid esterification is used for FFA below 12%, and glycerol esterification is used for FFA levels from 12 to 100%.

Page 26: 2B Green BioEnergy Final Project Aug

2B Green BioEnergy Corp. June 2011 Port of Dalhousie, NB Process Technology Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 4-4

Process Item Description Transesterification The pre-treated oil is processed in a single stage batch

reactor, using high-shear mixing. The use of high shear mixers allows for a faster initial reaction rate, and quicker separation of glycerol. The process also allows for re-treatment of off-spec product, and recycling of glycerol for catalyst use reduction.

Catalyst A sodium methylate solution in methanol is used as the transesterification reaction catalyst. Acid esterification uses a sulfuric acid catalyst, and glycerol esterification uses a metal oxide catalyst.

Methanol Recovery Methanol is recovered through flash evaporation. Methanol is recovered separately from the acid esterification, transesterification and glycerin recovery stages..

Methanol Rectification Recovered methanol vapor is rectified in a packed column to separate water, and provide purified methanol back to the process.

Purification Purification options include processing of the biodiesel through an ion-exchange column to remove impurities, and distillation for biodiesel from low quality feedstocks that might have difficulty meeting ASTM specifications..

Post-Treatment A cold-filtering system provides a biodiesel that will meet ASTM cold-soak specifications.

Thermal Driver The high temperatures required for the glycerol esterification pre-treatment process, and the distillation purification make hot oil the most cost effective thermal source for the plant. Steam is an option for the portions of the process that do not require higher temperatures.

Energy Integration The energy from the plant hot streams have been closely matched to cold streams for pre-heating. The plant heat is tightly integrated to provide maximum efficiency.

Vent Gas Collection All tank and process vents are collected and combusted in the hot oil burner.

Safety Plant process areas are identified by hazard classification, and all energy sources within that area are either explosion-proof, or intrinsically safe.

Feedstock: Oil Type Any filtered, degummed oil or fat, either recycled or

virgin.

The E3 FullSpectrum™ biodiesel process is a batch process designed for maximum flexibility in processing a wide variety of oils and fats into biodiesel. The process is developed around modular units of 100,000 liters per day that can be paralleled to provide a variety of plant sizes and configurations. The process can be customized with a variety of pre-treatment and purification options that allow acceptance of low quality oils with the capability to process them into high quality biodiesel with relatively high yields. The key advantages to the process are:

Ability to blend and process a wide variety of oils and fats. Batch processing for maximum flexibility Modular design for managed growth Water-free purification High level of energy integration & methanol recovery Post-treatment to fine tune properties and provide better cold-flow properties. Highly automated with low consumable and operating costs per unit produced

Options:

Degumming, drying & filtering feedstock oils & fats Feedstock pretreatment from 0 to12% and / or 12% to 100% FFA Integrated FOG rendering (trap to brown grease) Advanced purification via distillation

Plant Turndown 5:1 Plant Single Line Size (Module) 100,000 liters per day; 26,420 gallons / day

16,000 MT / yr.; 9.2 MMGY Number of Lines One to Six Yield 96% Minimum

Basic Plant Process Details: Oil Pre-Treatment Oil is treated to reduce free fatty acids, dried to remove water, and filtered to

remove solids. Acid esterification is used for FFA below 12%, and glycerol esterification is used for FFA levels from 12 to 100%.

Transesterification The pre-treated oil is processed in a single stage batch reactor, using high-shear mixing. The use of high shear mixers allows for a faster initial reaction rate, and quicker separation of glycerol. The process also allows for re-treatment of off-spec product, and recycling of glycerol for catalyst use reduction.

Process Item Description

Catalyst A sodium methylate solution in methanol is used as the transesterification reaction catalyst. Acid esterification uses a sulfuric acid catalyst, and glycerol esterification uses a metal oxide catalyst.

Methanol Recovery Methanol is recovered through flash evaporation. Methanol is recovered separately from the acid esterification, transesterification and glycerin recovery stages..

Methanol Rectification Recovered methanol vapor is rectified in a packed column to separate water, and provide purified methanol back to the process.

Purification Purification options include processing of the biodiesel through an ion-exchange column to remove impurities, and distillation for biodiesel from low quality feedstocks that might have difficulty meeting ASTM specifications..

Post-Treatment A cold-filtering system provides a biodiesel that will meet ASTM cold-soak specifications.

Thermal Driver The high temperatures required for the glycerol esterification pre-treatment process, and the distillation purification make hot oil the most cost effective thermal source for the plant. Steam is an option for the portions of the process that do not require higher temperatures.

Energy Integration The energy from the plant hot streams have been closely matched to cold streams for pre-heating. The plant heat is tightly integrated to provide maximum efficiency.

Vent Gas Collection All tank and process vents are collected and combusted in the hot oil burner. Safety Plant process areas are identified by hazard classification, and all energy

sources within that area are either explosion-proof, or intrinsically safe. Feedstock:
