Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO),sometimes referred to renewable diesel or green diesel, is produced using several production processes. The production process of HVO is the process of converting vegetable oil, animal fat, or waste oil into clean fuel through hydrogenation technology.

POME/UCO Treatment System
This project uses vegetable oil, animal fat, or waste animal and vegetable oil as raw materials, and produces biofuel oil through processes such as pretreatment, suspended bed hydrogenation, hydrorefining, and hydroisomerization.
Removal of impurities such as metals and phosphorous to protect and ensure flexibility process. A good pre-treatment process is key to the flexibility of the feedstock sourcing.
2. Hydrogenation treatment
In a hydrogenation reactor, the raw oil and hydrogen undergo hydrogenation reaction under the action of a catalyst. During this process, oxygen molecules are removed to generate clean fuel with chemical properties similar to traditional fossil diesel. Hydrogenation treatment can reduce the sulfur and nitrogen content in fuel, and decrease the emission of harmful substances.
3. Refining and Purification
The product after the reaction needs to undergo refining and purification steps to remove impurities and unreacted raw materials, further improving the purity and quality of the product. This step usually includes processes such as distillation and filtration.
4. Product testing
Finally, the product needs to undergo strict quality testing to ensure that it meets environmental and safety standards. The testing items may include combustion performance, carbon emissions, etc.
