The BioCube is a compact self-contained machine, the size of a 10ft ISO shipping container, that expels oil from raw oil feedstock, then processes the oil by a continuous Lurgi transesterification reaction and filtration to produce international standard biodiesel.
Biodiesel produced by the BioCube meets European EN14214 standard if the feedstock quality permits.
Based on a 10-hour production day, the machine is designed to operate for a minimum of five years in hostile tropical environments with no major intervention, whilst being operated by unskilled labour specifically trained to operate the machine. It will produce 1,500 - 2,000 litres of biodiesel per day from an estimated six tons of Jatropha feedstock.
Great care has been taken in the design of the BioCube to ensure that it will be simple to operate and maintain, rugged and easy to transport. It has a sturdy, non-corrosive outer shell of high-tech moulded plastics and safe, user-friendly components and consumables.
The BioCube uses its own biodiesel to run its efficient generators, so there is maximum energy conversion and sustainability with minimum carbon emission.
It truly is a green machine.
