Production of Biodiesel optimass@krohne.co.uk Application OPTIMASS 7000 T40 Custody Transfer Customer GHP Biodiesel at Oranienburg near Berlin. The Oranienburg Transesterification plant, one of 4 they operate in Germany, was established in 2001. Application Transesterification of animal fats and used oils is done by the classical alkali – process with KOH as catalyst. It is dissolved in Methanol to form an approx. 12,5 % solution, which is added to the plant oil. Separation of Glycerin – phase and Methyl-Esters is done by gravity. The installation was tested against the custody transfer calibration verification equipment and the mass flow accuracy was 0,1 %. Volume flow also showed accuracy of better than 0,3 %. Process Parameters: Product : Organic oils and fats Mass Flow : 33000 kg/h and 16000 kg/h with batching of 2000 l Temperature : 31 °C Density : 0,872 kg/l Pressure : 6 bar Problem Accurate measurement and batching to Custody Transfer standards Solution Why did the client choose KROHNE? • High accuracy and repeatability • Cost savings due to accurate batching • Approved for Custody Transfer Copyright KROHNE, inc. , 2009 OPTIMASS Applications Page No.18 Application story
Biodiesel in Germany The photo at right shows one of 4 Optimass T 80 Custody Transfer meters installed in the Tanker loading station at Biowerk Sohland in the Lausitz area of Germany. This is where the Biodiesel produced in the factory is loaded from the storage tanks into the distribution vehicles. Following the establishment of Biowerk Sohland in 2002, another company, PPM Energie Germany GmbH, was established to build biodiesel plants like the existing installation for national and international customers with capacity between 8,000 and 50,000 t/a, with larger plants envisaged. Plants equipped with Optimass are now in Australia and Austria and 3 are being built for Hungary. They have already provided 6 plants in Germany. Above and right: some more of the Optimass meters installed in the production facility STRAIGHT TALK The Biodiesel Production facility here has a capacity of 25,000 tons pa. This facility also has 12 Optimass DN 15 and DN 25 installed. The oils used for transesterification include rape oil, sunflower oil, and used cooking oils amongst others. Raw glycerine is produced as a byproduct and this can be used by biogas production facilties. There are no other waste products and the methanol used for extraction is recovered and reused.
