CF Tech and the RI will use supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) technology and Idaho National Laboratories Patented Supercritical Solid Catalyst technology www4vip.inl.gov/research/supercritical-solid-catalyst/ to produce biodiesel without water and sulfur contaminants.
The goal of this project is to produce enough data on the reaction and separation of contaminants within the FOG and purification of the resultant biodiesel to produce ASTM D6751 quality biodiesel. In Phase II, CF Tech will design and fabricate a pilot sized facility to be installed at a WRR partner location in Connecticut to process the FOG into biodiesel for sale.
