Steps of drying process of biodiesel:

  • loading of biodiesel from store
  • heating of biodiesel
  • water separation in the flash reactor under vacuum at 20 mbar
  • freezing biodiesel output
  • freezing water and elimination through centrifugal pump
  • the output product from the dryer is filtered on a battery of filters in series from 1 Micron to break down the TOTAL CONTAMINATION


The mobile plant drying of biodiesel is transportable and can be connected directly to the store.

The cycle is continuous, and through the appropriate management of temperature and pressure shows the biodiesel to specific conditions. This is possible thanks to a series of steps in which the product passes from ambient temperature to higher temperatures, which is followed by a rapid decrease in pressure (drying phase); the product thus obtained out of the loop, transferring heat to the new product that is entering.
The system allows to extract the water from the biodiesel through the placing of the same in one or more extraction cycles.
This is possible through a centrifugal pump which withdraws the biodiesel from the deposit, places it in cycle addressing it to a heat generator and subsequently to two flash reactor in series.
The heating of the biodiesel is obtained through heat exchangers working at a temperature of 60-100 C and subsequently leading biodiesel in the flash reactor.

In order to optimize the evaporation process, the flash reactor working under vacuum, by means of a high vacuum pumping group. The water in the form of steam is directed to a condenser cooled by a cooling apparatus at a temperature of between -5 and +5 C.
The killing of the steam temperature has the effect of avoiding emissions of noxious fumes and allows the contrary, its water condensation.
The whole process of drying the biodiesel is controlled by a central control unit that allows you to manage separately each cycle by changing the parameters and operating conditions.
In detail, the Biodry is mounted inside of a skid transportable rig, and consists of a set of pumps, heat exchangers, from tanks 2 and a refrigerating unit.
The process consists in drying the Biodiesel vacuum, after heating with steam through the heat exchangers present. The whole process is fully automated and controlled by a PLC located in a control panel where you can change at will and reach operating temperature.
