Blue Sun Energy implements enzymatic biodiesel processing technology

In Missouri, Blue Sun Energy announced the implementation of its enzymatic biodiesel processing technology, making the Blue Sun St. Joe Refinery the most advanced biodiesel production facility in the world. The process at the St. Joe refinery produces very high quality biodiesel, which is even further improved by the state-of-the-art distillation system installed last year at the refinery.

Blue Sun’s process is more efficient in methanol recovery and use, further reducing costs. In co‑products, the value of glycerin produced is much higher than in standard biodiesel operations – 20 to 30 cents per pound versus less than 10 cents per pound traditionally.
