SarTec announces biodiesel facility
Biodiesel start-up company SarTec has announced it expects its production facility in Minnesota, US, to begin operations in Q2 this year.
The capacity of the plant will reach approximately 3 million gallons a year operating with the name Ever Cat Fuels.
In 2008 Augsburg College and SarTec announced the discovery of a chemical process that could help develop a new type of biofuel.
Researchers said this method, known as the Mcgyan Process, recycles the catalyst and alcohol necessary to make biodiesel, reduces the reaction time from hours to seconds, and it does not use water or chemicals.
Researchers at the company say that the key to the technology is a highly efficient, heterogeneous metal oxide-based catalyst reactor that efficiently and economically coverts feedstock plant oils and animal fats to biodiesel.
Algae that capture carbon dioxide can also be a source of Mcgyan feedstock oil.
SarTec has conducted research into using algae oils to supply the Mcgyan Process. The corporation is working on the use of algae to reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants while creating a biodiesel feedstock.
