Adsorbents
For Renewable Diesel
Oil-Dri’s Metal series of adsorbents have ideal properties for use in the pretreatment of a diverse range of vegetable oil or animal fat feedstocks destined for the renewable diesel market. Metal-Z and Metal-X were engineered to adsorb a range of trace elements and phosphorus containing compounds that are detrimental to downstream processes and equipment. Additionally, both Metal-X and Metal-Z have been ground and sized for exceptional filtration to maximize filter press life cycles.
