Supercritical Biodiesel


The patented Supercritical process offered by Jatro Renewables is production tested and proven process. Traditional technologies in Biodiesel use various catalysts such as Sulfuric Acid, Sodium Methylate or Potassium Methylate, Enzymes, Resins and other chemicals to process the oil into Biodiesel. In our Supercritical process, the catalysts are eliminated. Due to the elimination of catalysts, the biodiesel manufacturing is simplified greatly. This provides substantial savings in Operational expense. Please call us to learn more about the advantages with our technology.
