Silicates For Edible Oils and Biofuels
Oil-Dri’s Silicates are specially modified for the removal of soaps, metals, and phospholipids to help in the production of clean, quality edible oils and biodiesel feedstock that meet the most demanding specifications.
These products originate from a unique mineral deposit located near Ochlocknee, Georgia. The minerals in this region feature a large, highly active surface area well suited for the removal of impurities from oil streams.
Adsorbents for Renewable Diesel
Benefits of using Metal-X or Metal-Z in your pretreatment process:
Strong affinity for trace metals, including a full spectrum of organic and inorganic phosphorus.
Effective on a range of vegetable oil and animal fat-derived feedstock blends.
Excellent filtration characteristics.
