Green Diesel Process

Inbuilt transducer controlled, Green Diesel Corp’s fuel system delivers ultra high pressure injection. A unitised system, each injector comes with its own inbuilt pump. Green Diesel Fuel injection system has significally altered the combustion process by altering Thermal Exchange, thus reducing the temperature of combustion and injecting at a designed pressure of up to 160,000psi, the green diesel fuel injection system eliminates uncontrolled combustion therefore eliminating troublesome diesel knock.

Dynamic Fuels by the way is a joint venture between Syntroleum and Tyson Foods (where it gets its waste fats and greases feedstock). Dynamic Fuels said it can produce C14-C17 n-paraffins for use as industrial fluids or as intermediate for detergents (e.g. for secondary alkane sulfonate surfactants), C18 n-paraffin (octadecane) for use as phase change material, isoparaffinic solvents with boiling points in the range of 180 C to 310 C (similar to ISOPAR and SOLTROL products from ExxonMobil Chemical and Chevron Phillips Chemical) where the higher boiling products are well-suited for use as drilling base fluids.

As a background, renewable diesel or green diesel is different from traditional biodiesel where the latter is usually esterified fats and oils while the former is usually produced through hydrotreatment of fats and oils. Only Neste Oil and Dynamic Fuels are currently producing green diesel at scale, according to Lux Research.

According to Rekoske, the advantage of green diesel is that it can be produced at a lower operating cost than biodiesel using the same feedstock oils. Aside from having feedstock flexibility for most green diesel producers/developers, the oxidative stability of green diesel is also equivalent to petroleum diesel meaning distributors do not need any special precautions or handling/dispensing to customers.
