What is Biodiesel ?
Methyl Ester
➢ Biodiesel emits 78.5% less CO2 than Petroleum Diesel. The blend
exhibits proportionate benefits i.e. B20 emits 15.66% less CO2 than
Petroleum Diesel.
➢ Significant emission reductions in CO, CO2, unburned hydrocarbons,
particulate matter, ozone formation and reduction in cancer risk.

Ira Energy PSC’ Technical Support Capabilities
➢ Methanol & acid are mixed and injected into oil stream
➢ Mixture is heated to 140°F - 175°F. and reacted in the tubular reactor
➢ After Esterification, dry glycerin is added and mixed with oil-methanol
stream while cooling to 140°F.
➢ Light layer and heavy layers are separated with the help of Centrifuge
➢ Light layer is ready for Transesterification
Esterification
Transesterification
Concept:
• bubble column reactors for continuous inoculation
• open cascade of increasing surface area
>> supply effluents
• “once through” hydraulic regime
>> no backmixing
>> no build up of contaminants (< 0.02%)
• adequate mixing required large-scale selective cultivation AND water purification
at acceptable cost

Castor 1413
Sunflower 952
Safflower 779
Palm 5950
Soy 446
Coconut 2689
Algae 100000
Comparison of average oil yields from algae with that from other oilseeds
The table above presents indicative oil yields from various oilseeds and algae. Please note that there are
significant variations in yields even within an individual oilseed depending on where it is grown, the specific
variety/grade of the plant etc. Similarly, for algae there are significant variations between oil yields from different
strains of algae. The data presented above are indicative in nature, primarily to highlight the order-of-magnitude
differences present in the oil yields from algae when compared with other oilseeds.
