Biodiesel Pumps for Transfer and Production

Reach out to us

Biodiesel is a fuel that producers make from vegetable or animal fats and alcohol. You can use it in diesel engines either by itself or mixed with regular diesel.

As the world's oil reserves dwindle and climate change worsens, the need for sustainable energy grows. Plus, the world economy is growing, increasing the need for energy and fuel. Transportation, including both commercial and personal use, accounts for over 40% of oil consumption.

To tackle these issues, engineers are developing alternatives for a low-carbon economy. This effort aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and secure future energy sources. Biodiesel is emerging as a promising option to decrease dependence on fossil fuels.

Many plant operators use progressive cavity (PC) pumps in biodiesel production for their flexibility and efficiency. In biodiesel production, PC pumps transfer raw materials such as vegetable oils.

These Advantages of PC pumps Improve Biodiesel Production

PC pumps efficiently handle thick fluids without damage. They provide gentle flow for shear-sensitive materials or fluids with solids. Their self-priming feature makes installation easy, and the process runs more efficiently. Even when viscosities change, they keep flow rates steady.

Available in various materials, PC pumps are flexible and have few moving parts, reducing maintenance needs and downtime. These pumps meet the demanding requirements of biodiesel production processes effectively.

SEEPEX pumps are used in many processes of green fuel production

SEEPEX Pumps for Biodiesel Production

Transporting Liquid Raw Materials and Substrates

Our pumps handle abrasive media with ease. They have Easy Maintenance features that restore efficiency without long downtimes.

Transporting Viscous Products

Our standard open hopper pumps handle highly viscous products. Smart Air Injection transfers spent grain and dewatered products. Our BTM pumps with a feed auger and cutting knives chop potatoes and the like in a single operation.

Mixing Raw Materials

Operators use raw materials like corn, soybean, cassava, potatoes, and spent grains for biodiesel production. The BTEX bio-substrate mixing system mixes and pumps raw materials with a flange connection for liquid feeding.

Dosing Additives

SEEPEX dosing pumps deliver high accuracy and minimal pulsation. They work with low to highly viscous and aggressive media, with or without solids.

SEEPEX biodiesel pumps and biodiesel transfer pumps are integral to many processes in green fuel production. Our maintenance technologies are industry-leading. Smart Conveying Technology and Rotor and Drive Joint Access make service easier and greatly reduce downtime.

SEEPEX Solves Biodiesel Production Problems

When dealing with organic waste, pumps need to resist mechanical wear. One of our jobs is to make sure the pumps can resist abrasive chemicals.

To address these needs, SEEPEX uses resistant materials developed for the specific needs in biodiesel production. We often use stainless steel for metal parts like casings and joints. However, achieving similar resistance in stators requires expertise in utilizing various synthetic materials.

Because biodiesel production uses strong chemicals, pumping systems need to be extra sturdy. Plant operators trust SEEPEX biodiesel pumps for their ability to safely move harsh chemicals and high-viscosity materials.
