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 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 semi-skilled 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.
