Why SE-Energy Biodiesel Technology Means Money to You
Five Major Innovations from separate parts of the World are, for the first time, added together in our benchmark-setting processing plants:
1. True Continuous Flow Process
Colt 45 Reactor = 45 times faster reaction = 3.6 min. European plants (5-45 mil gal/yr range) rely on industrial-strength batch reactors, taking 1-3 days reaction time. The best modern semi-commercial reactor in the US takes 40 minutes, four times, for a total of 160 minutes. On our homepage, and up to the right on this page, you see our continous flow mixing technology. We have developed ultra-effective flow mixing that is continuous. The $$ spigot is always open and running so yields are way up. Eliminating at least four 32,000 gal reactors, you save tremendous cost and room. Plus, Biodiesel flows out without stopping for a 160 minute siesta, reduced to 3.6 = 97.75% process time savings with even better reaction stats. A MAJOR breakthrough in the Industry.
2. NO Settling Tanks or Settling Time at ALL
European plants rely on extensive settling or acid washing. The Dry Wash plants in the US and Europe still use 3-5 settling tanks, each the size of one day's production. Their biodiesel has to wait, again, for 72-144 hours. SEE has solved the problem. You do NOT need to house these huge tanks in your plant. Plus, you never wait for the bio to get on with it. Time saved from 4,320 minutes to 12. Adds up to major savings. Second major Innovation by SE-Energy.
3. True Dry Wash - No Water In or Out
Ion Exchange Tower technology allows biodiesel to separate from the glycerin and reagents without dealing with water. Water loves to stay in biodiesel, significantly raising the flashpoint which makes for unsmiling customers., plus the toxic water still has to go somewhere. Both these problems are handily cured by using the ion exchange resin to bring your biodiesel up to the highest standards. Very few plants know this secret. SE-E humbly presents major Innovation 3.
4. Ion Exchange Resin Regeneration
The water wash costs $.05-.06/gal. Our Dry Wash used to add about $ .04/gal to the cost. We at SE-Energy have developed a way to wash glycerin out of the resin. For a 40 mil gal/yr plant that adds up to a whopping savings of $2,000,000 a year. Mark SE-Energy down for major $$ savings Innovation 4.

5. In-Line 100% ASTM Testing Technology
Most plants test and measure when the process is complete. For maximum quality control, SEE techology tests ASTM levels at 5 stages. Quality is essential, but this also allows us to speed up the continuous flow as soon as the reaction is completed. You can follow a recipe and hope, or test and know what you have at the earliest moment. SE-Energy major Innovation 5.
6. Designed by Refinery Engineers
Surely you have seen plants based on the latest chemistry but look like backyard plumbing projects. Our plants are not chemisty class experiments made bigger. Biodiesel's grass roots have one draw-back: process design derives from chemistry class roots, missing critical equipment options that true process designers have known for years. SEE technology derives from 40 years in the Petroleum industry. Advances in biodiesel plant design come from applying existing processes in a new way
