Diesel biofuel (on the basis of rapeseed oil) - the technology of diesel fuel production from vegetable oils
PurposeThe technology is designed to produce ecologically safe fuel for diesel engines from
renewable source of raw material such as rapeseed. Biofuels can be used in all types of
diesel engines.
Production of mixed diesel biofuel presuppose addition of biofuel into diesel fuel in amount
of 5–50% without diesel engines modifying.
Production features
A continuous cycle of the production process has been achieved

Advantages of technology:
- Renewed raw material - rape for basic component production
- Valuable associated products:
- solid fuel
- oilcake to prepare forages
- technical soap
- glycerin
- Low amount of sewage, absence of gaseous emissions
- An opportunity to organize small-scale plants directly in places of diesel biofuel consumption
- Absence of oxides of sulfur and solid particles in exhaust gases
- Fuel is biodegradable
- Corresponds to all requirements to diesel fuels of oil origin
Together with UC ''Unitechprom BSU'' and JSC ''Grodnobioproduct''(Skidel, Grodno region) some attmepts have been made to organize the production of non-polluting
kinds of fuel. Polish - German engeneering enterprise ''Wiedemann Polska'' produces the equipment for such kind of production. On the basis of JSC ''Novoyelniansky mezhrayagrosnab'' (Novoyelnia,
Grodno region) for the first time in Belarus a technological line to produce diesel biofuel from rapeseed oil has been assembled
Forms of cooperation:
• Sale of non-exclusive licenses for technology production
• Organization of production
