In Texas, NEXT-ChemX Corporation’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Nikolai Kocherginsky and Chemical Engineer, Sumukh Metawala, made a presentation entitled “Membrane-Based Oil & Biodiesel Washing” during the 2022 American Oil Chemists’ Society (AOCS) Annual Meeting, held May 1-4 in Atlanta, Georgia.
The presentation was based upon patented and proprietary technology assigned to Next-ChemX Corporation. Bio-oils and biodiesel require purification, also known as washing, which can be done with NEXT-ChemX technology in a continuous fast process that does not require mixing. For example, the purified diesel would have the following advantages:
· No glycerol, potassium methoxide, metals, less color, etc.
· No mixer/settler or centrifugation used.
· No water is accumulated in oil.
· No oil is lost in water.
· No emulsion formation.
· No bleaching earth is required.
· No transmembrane pressure or voltage used.
Therefore energy-saving with a low footprint and much faster economical technology.
