IncBio to design and build 75,000 ton per year Colombian biodiesel plant

In Portugal, IncBio has secured an agreement to design and build a 75,000 MT/year Biodiesel plant, for Biocosta Green Energy SA in Santa Marta, Colombia.

The plant will be producing biodiesel directly from Crude Palm Oil blended with Palm Acid Oil and PFAD up to a total of 25% FFA, and will include pre-treatment, acid esterification with IncBio’s solid catalyst technology, transesterification, dry wash using Ion Exchange resin and Biodiesel distillation. It will incorporate IncBio’s ultrasonic technology in all steps of the plant in order to produce the highest quality Biodiesel at the lowest possible cost. The plant will use locally sustainably produced palm oil as feedstock. IncBio expects the plant to be started up in May 2016.
