New solid catalyst reduces cost of biodiesel and biolubricants

摘要

New Century Lubricants has entered into an exclusive worldwide agreement with the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL),a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India,to demonstrate and commercialise NCL's breakthrough technology (ENSEL)for transesterification of seed oils and etherification of glycerin.According to New Century Lubricants president Dr William Summers,ENSEL will overcome most of the problems and limitations associated with conventional biodiesel production methods.Another major benefit of the ENSEL technology is that it provides a profitable solution to the glycerine dilemma now faced by the biodiesel industry.
