Enzymes for Biodiesel & Waste-Oil Processing

Biodiesel & Waste Oils

Enzymes for Biodiesel & Waste-Oil Processing

Develop a lipase-led conversion process around your oil, rather than a generic recipe. We screen catalyst options and reaction conditions for waste cooking oils, high-FFA streams and oil-processing residues, then validate FAME conversion and separation.

Waste cooking oils

  • Target: Used oils with variable water, acidity and impurities.
  • Solution: Evaluate lipase suitability for the oil and alcohol system.
  • Optimisation: Compare FAME conversion and separation across feedstock lots.

High-FFA oils

  • Target: Acidic lipid streams requiring an appropriate conversion route.
  • Solution: Screen esterification and transesterification performance.
  • Optimisation: Optimise water management and alcohol addition.

Oil-processing residues

  • Target: Soapstock-derived oils and other recovered lipid fractions.
  • Solution: Confirm pretreatment and catalyst compatibility first.
  • Optimisation: Measure contaminants, residual glycerides and finished-product quality.

HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREENING

Your Feedstock. Your Conditions. Your Blend.

Compare enzyme options in parallel, then validate the strongest candidates in the process that matters to you.

01

Characterise the oil

Measure free fatty acids, water and relevant contaminants. For soapstock, define the preparation route and what reaches the enzyme stage.

02

Screen the catalyst & conditions

Compare suitable lipases, catalyst loading, alcohol addition, water content and temperature. Use compatible reactors for oil/alcohol mixtures.

03

Validate the fuel route

Measure FAME and residual glycerides using suitable analytical methods. Confirm separation, catalyst reuse where applicable and final fuel quality.
