Challenges faced by renewable diesel producers?

🔧 Enhancing Feedstock Flexibility with Enzymes 🔧

Prices fluctuate, even for feedstocks. Depending on the economics of a given day, week, or month, renewable diesel/SAF producers may need to use different feedstocks or even blends. When dealing with these variations, the chemistry becomes complex.

Traditionally, the solution seemed to be: More feedstock, more chemicals! Increasing OPEX and oil losses. However, today a modern solution would be to maintain optimal process efficiencies even with blends containing 10% or higher vegetable oils through a simple drop-in solution.

🌱 A Better Approach:
Using enzymes in pretreatment processes can significantly improve feedstock flexibility. By optimizing the separation efficiency and reducing the need for excessive chemicals, enzymes help create a more robust and efficient process. This approach not only meets quality specifications but also enhances yield and reduces waste.

🔍 If you haven’t considered optimizing your process through the addition of enzymatic technology, you’re almost certainly leaving money on the table – it’s just a question of how much.
