Biodiesel

About

Biodiesel is a liquid biofuel obtained by chemical processes. An important mitigation strategy for the impact of fossil fuels on the environment is to use biofuels from renewable sources for transportation. Biofuels from plants represent the most abundant source of renewable fuels, offering the manufacture of ethanol and butanol (as gasoline additives) and long-chain hydrocarbons (for diesel additives or as jet fuels) from starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, and oils. The source of the energy captured by plants is the sun, which will be a constant source of energy for the next few billion years. The carbon released from the burning of biofuels is continually cycled rather than being released from ancient, fixed carbon sources, as is the case for fossil petroleum and natural gas.

Biodiesel Usage

Biodiesel has a multitude of potential uses. It's used in diesel engines, used to heat your home, generate electricity, and work as an effective solvent. Biodiesel provides a non-toxic alternative to many substances. Recycled cooking oil helps to power cars, give us electricity, and run-off-road industrial engines. Some of the advantages of using biodiesel as a replacement for diesel fuel are:

• Renewable fuel, obtained from vegetable oils and animal fats.

• Low toxicity, in comparison with diesel fuel.

• Degrades more rapidly than diesel fuel, minimizing the environmental consequences of biofuel spills.

• Lower emissions of contaminants like carbon monoxide, particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

• Lower health risk due to reduced emissions of carcinogenic substances.

• No sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions.

• Higher flash point

• May be blended with diesel fuel at any proportion; both fuels may be mixed during the fuel supply to vehicles.

• Excellent properties as a lubricant

• It is the only alternative fuel that can be used in a conventional diesel engine without modifications.

Bioethanol is used as an excipient or a solvent in the formulation of pharmaceutical drugs. It serves as a carrier for active ingredients, aiding in their dissolution and facilitating drug delivery.The pharmaceutical industry's increasing focus on solubility enhancement and drug delivery systems has led to a higher demand for bioethanol as an excipient. The rising demand for bioethanol in the pharmaceutical industry can be attributed to its role as an excipient in drug formulations, its effectiveness as a disinfectant, its use in extraction and purification processes, its application in pharmaceutical R&D, and its compliance with regulatory standards. Along with the bio diesel we get byproducts of bio ethanol. Bio jet fuel, bio gas and bio hydrogen and also we make many other health care raw materials too.
