Cheap Alternative to Fuel from Non-edible and Edible Oils

Atharva ProcTek has also developed a process that converts all types of edible and non-edible vegetable oils into fuel. The running cost of process is very low and it can therefore offer a very good alternative to the conventional biodiesel process.

The fuel obtained from the Atharva ProcTek process is different from that from the conventional trans-esterification process used for production of biodiesel; but has energy value at par with most of the conventional fuels. Atharva ProcTek therefore offers a very cheap renewable fuel alternative.

The plant for producing fuel from edible and non edible oils is even more compact that that for FuelPlast™.

Amongst the non-edible oils that we have tested in our set-up are jatropha (wild castor oil), karanja (Pongamia Glabra tree – popularly called Pongam tree), and crude palm oil. Needless to say, this process can be used for spent or for off-spec edible oils too. We have successfully tested all types of edible oils including coconut oil.
