BIODIESEL IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC Fatty acid methylesters from rapeseed oil (BIODIESEL) - fossil diesel substitutes http://www.skbiom.sk Slovenska verzia Advantages: produced from renewable "green" material (rapeseed, sunflower, ...) the content of condensed cancerogenic hydrocarbons as in exhaust fumes is of a lower order it does not contain sulphur by its burning the content of CO2 in atmosphere does not increase the cultivation of rape is possible also on devasted grounds perspective base material for oleochemistry New technology for production of BIODIESEL by transesterification of rapeseed oil with methanol was invited by experts at Faculty of Chemical Technology of Slovak Technical University, Bratislava. Advantages of new technology: high oil conversion to methylesters is over 98% at favourable economy low consumption of chemicals waste water does not occure the possibility of operation under simple and modest conditions on an agrofarm Through-put capacity of the production unit is 500 - 10 000 tons of methylester a year.
