Application | Bio Diesel Generators
Iwaki America pumps are great for the addition of Sulfuric and Caustic during the starch conversion or liquefaction stage. Pumps are essential for the addition of Sulfuric acid and Caustic during the starch conversion or liquefaction stage in bio-diesel generators. This stage involves the breakdown of starch present in biomass feedstocks to produce bio-diesel fuel. Sulfuric acid is used to hydrolyze the starch into simpler sugars, while Caustic (usually Sodium Hydroxide) is added to adjust the pH level during the reaction.

Pumps are responsible for accurately metering and delivering the required amounts of Sulfuric acid and Caustic into the bio-diesel production process. These pumps ensure precise dosing, maintaining the desired concentrations of the chemicals and facilitating efficient starch conversion. They also allow for precise control and adjustment of flow rates, ensuring optimal conditions for the reaction. Additionally, pumps used in this application are designed to handle the corrosive nature of Sulfuric acid and Caustic, with appropriate materials and safety features to ensure reliable and safe operation. By employing pumps for the addition of Sulfuric acid and Caustic, bio-diesel generators can effectively carry out the starch conversion or liquefaction stage, leading to the production of high-quality bio-diesel fuel.
