Renewable Diesel Tallow Feed Filters

Renewable diesel (RD) is an advanced biofuel that is biodegradable and is made from tallow and other natural sources requiring filtration to provide clean feed to the hydrotreater. This feat is achievable via tallow feed filter

RD is a cleaner-burning, drop-in replacement to petroleum diesel fuel and can be used in vehicles and heating systems. Renewable diesel is primarily produced from animal fats, inedible corn oil, and vegetable oils.

About one-third of the fats and oils produced in the United States are animal fats including beef tallow, pork lard, and chicken fat. Animal fats are attractive feedstocks for renewable diesel because their cost is substantially lower than the cost of vegetable oil and animal fat feedstocks can be made into high-quality diesel.

Solid bone meal contaminants, phospholipids, or gums and other contaminants need to be removed to provide clean feedstock for the hydrotreater. This is a highly temperature sensitive process which makes it challenging.
