Usability of food industry waste oils as fuel for diesel engines

Potential to increase indigenous biodiesel production to help meet 2020 targets – An EU perspective with a focus on Ireland

“…In recent years, overall demand has stabilised around 461 the 2,700 kt level. polymers, chlorides and phospholipids [70]. A pre-treatment step is utilised to reduce the FFA and 485 water content of the UCO.…”

Feasibility of a Dual-Fuel Engine Fuelled with Waste Vegetable Oil and Municipal Organic Fraction for Power Generation in Urban Areas

“…For waste oil, there is the additional problem of high acidity. The transesterification process should be performed to obtain the methylester fraction, Journal of Combustion 5 while the impurities are enriched in the glycerine fraction [21]. Once esterified as biodiesel, there are no substantial differences in terms of engine performance and emissions, [22].…”

Energetic analysis and optimal design of a CHP plant in a frozen food processing factory through a dynamical simulation model

“…All this is greatly stimulated from an energetic point of view thanks to the reduction and recovery of waste heat [14], and from an economic point of view thanks to a reduction in energy costs [15]. These systems are more sustainable if the energy carrier employed is produced from waste processing in the same industry or from other neighboring industries or farms, such as, for example, food industries [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
