Renewable diesel pretreatment for crushers

Don’t over-refine your vegetable oils at the expense of lower yields 

Boost your commercial sustainability

Vegetable oil refiners using chemical or physical degumming processes are unnecessarily removing valuable lipids suitable for renewable diesel production. Quara® LowP lets you avoid over-refining vegetable oils. Target your degumming process to remove just metals and phosphorous and boost oil yield gains to up to 2%. It reduces process losses, resulting in lower production of low-value by-products and improving the commercial sustainability of your operation.

Benefits of Quara® LowP:

Get a high oil yield

Quara® LowP increases yield up to 2% when compared to alkaline refining or acid degumming by selectively targeting removal of phosphorus and metals. That leaves valuable free fatty acids (FFA) and neutral oils for improved oil recovery.

Reduce oil loss and waste handling costs

Maximize bleaching clay reduction, minimize oil losses by absorption, and decrease costs of waste handling and disposal. Quara® LowP yields a byproduct with lower viscosity that contains less oil, which is easier to handle than soap-stock and acid gums. Expect improved profitability of up to US$20 /ton*.

Meet HVO/HEFA specifications

Reduce contaminants, phosphorus, and metals, to as low as 5ppm and 10ppm respectively, prior to the bleaching step.
