Feedstock:  The BPU400 is capable of handling multiple feedstocks which satisfy equipment parameters for free fatty acids and moisture. As a biodiesel producer, understanding your feedstock options and making the right choice for your business is a critical financial decision. Refined feedstocks may generally be used in the BPU400 with no preprocessing. Using oils in a more crude state may require additional equipment. Discuss your feedstock options with your Orbitek project manager to ensure product compatibility.
Capacity:  The BPU400 is designed to operate at approximately 480 gallons per hour or 4 million gallons per year based on 350 days of continuous operations and peak production. The units can be operated singly or in parallel with other units to achieve the output capacity desired by the producer. Clients can start small to lower their entry costs into the industry and ramp-up in production volume as the economics of their particular situations dictate. When multiple units are employed the producer will achieve economies of scale with centralized controls and a centralized heat source while requiring minimal manpower. Using multiple units for larger outputs also offers operating economies during maintenance and servicing. Units can be serviced one at a time to avoid the lost production associated with having to shut down the entire system for maintenance.
Quality:  Orbitek guarantees that your production system will make biodiesel which meets or exceeds the standards set by ASTM and EN. We are also very proud of the fact that our equipment produces biodiesel which meets these standards with little, if any, polishing. However, we recommend polishing due to variations in feedstock and catalysts which can and do occur even with the most reputable commodity vendors. Our polishing system is waterless and is included in the price of your system package.
Certification:  In the US market, Orbitek recommends that clients consider certification as a BQ9000 Accredited Producer. Buyers today insist on quality. A 2006 study of biodiesel producers found that 50% of the biodiesel tested failed to meet ASTM. In an environment where the end user will only warrant their engines for ASTM quality fuel… bad biodiesel is bad for the industry, bad for the market and bad for you as the producer. Accredited status is an influential factor when securing an off-take contract. In this environment, BQ9000 is good business.
