EORC Group is committed to a sustainable and cleaner enviroment. As a result the company has invested financial and human resources for the production of BIODIESEL from used cooking oils.

WHAT IS BIODIESEL? Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications.

HOW DOES THE ENVIRONMENT BENEFIT FROM BIODIESEL? Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made from renewable resources and has lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel. It is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as sugar. MORE IMPORTANTLY IT ALSO RELIEVES THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE USED COOKING OILS, which are collected from the waste stream and REMANUFACTURED TO BIODIESEL, thus relieving the environment from this waste material.

HOW IS BIODIESEL MADE? Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil. The process leaves behind two products – methyl esters, the chemical name for biodiesel and glycerin, a valuable by product that can be used in the manufacture of soaps and other products.

THE CLEANER CHOICE FOR CLEAN AIR Let’s face it, for all its positive traits, the diesel engine has one problem to overcome: its contribution to air pollution. One answer to this problem is biodiesel, the fuel made from soybeans and other vegetable oils or fats.
Consider The Following:

• Biodiesel can help cut emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary green house gas contributing to global warming.

• Biodiesel contains no sulphur, so burning it creates no sulphur dioxide. (Sulphur dioxide is harmful to the eyes, throat and lungs and can form sulphuric acid, the primary component to acid rain),

• Biodiesel has the best energy balance of any liquid fuel.

BIODIESEL: ON THE ROAD TO FUELING THE FUTURE Biodiesel is an obvious choice for providing that diversity in our energy mix by:

improving the quality of our air.
expanding our domestic economy.
reducing our contribution to global warming.

The most important boost to biodiesel’s market value will come from the pressure to reduce sulphur levels in the nation’s diesel fuel supply. As a pure fuel, biodiesel contains no sulphur. As a blendstock, even at levels of only 1 to 2 percent, biodiesel has been shown to restore lubricity lost by desulphurization of petroleum diesel.

Biodiesel is completely compatible with conventional petroleum diesel, it can be used to immediately and seamlessly transform a diesel fleet into a cleaner burning, alternatively fueled fleet without added investment.

Biodiesel’s fuel characteristics exceed those of petroleum diesel in cetane number as well as lubricity. Operationally, biodiesel has a higher flash point making it more versatile fuel where safety is concerned. Its cleaner emissions and appealing odour are clearly an improvement over standard diesel.

NEW FUEL. SAME PERFORMANCE Environmental regulations have had and will continue to have a significant impact on the formulation of diesel fuel. The introduction of new fuels and engine designs to meet new emission regulations has created the need to address a number of fuel properties, in order to guarantee acceptable emissions performance while avoiding engine maintenance problems.

LUBRICITY KEY TO ENGINE PERFORMANCE Diesel fuel acts to lubricate moving parts of fuel pumps and injectors, and to avoid excessive wear the fuel must have a minimum degree of lubricity. Biodiesel is a bio sulphur diesel which reduces engine emissions and safeguards the environment. It is also a lubricant for diesel engines.

RIGOROUS STANDARDS ENSURE BIODIESEL PERFORMANCE Major advantages of biodiesel is that • it can be used in existing engines and fuel injection equipment with no modification in any car manufactured after 1994 • little impact to operating performance key to diesel users – power, torque and fuel economy.. • it is an excellent lubricant which compensates for the current low sulphur fossil diesel which is void of a good lubricant

BIODIESEL: SO WE CAN ALL BREATHE EASIER There is no doubt that engine emissions released into the atmosphere are a cause for concern. Engine emissions, particularly from cars and trucks, have been linked with cancer, asthma and a host of other serious health conditions. When biodiesel is burned as an alternative to petroleum based fuel, it significantly reduces emissions that threaten human health. It is the first and only alternative fuel to have complete evaluation of potential emissions-related health effects. EMISSIONS DROP WITH BIODIESEL Independent studies show the use of biodiesel in conventional diesel engines results in a substantial reduction of pollutants compared to petroleum diesel fuel.
