Leading food consortium utilizes waste by producing biodiesel from animal fat

The processing of these animal fat by-products required a new processing line to be built, and therefore Virgilio approached a well known engineering house to provide a processing solution.

The proposed system required the meat fat to be minced before it is steam heated into a liquid form at just under 100°C. As the meat fat contains skins and cartilages that are difficult to break down, the liquid product is then fed to a filtration system to remove any oversize contamination. Having worked with Russell Finex previously, the engineering house did not think twice about supplying the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® to Virgilio for this stage of the process.
