Feedstock Pretreatment - High FFA Pretreatment
In today’s market having your plant be multi-feedstock capable is not only a competitive advantage – it’s a business necessity. If you have a plant designed to use only refined oils, adding high FFA pretreatment opens up a world of new feedstock opportunities. Whether it be animal-fat based feedstocks such as beef tallow or chicken fats, or one of the new emerging feedstocks such as Algae-oil or Jatropha, they all share one thing in common: they all have FFA too high for base transesterification and thus require pretreatment. GenX offers a scalable, continuous-batch, skid-mounted or permanent system that can front-end any existing biodiesel system, efficiently converting FFA into useable oil with no yield loss.
GenX created the FPS-Series pretreatment system to enable new and existing plants the ability to incorporate multiple high-FFA feedstocks.

Unfortunately many of these feedstocks come with problems that result in modified treatments, many of which are cost prohibitive. The GenX pretreatment unit represents a complete package, capable of handling all your needs at a competitive price.
