The two companies conducted a border of well-to-do tests passing through biodiesel completed by SunEco Urge from 100% natural algae oil produced at the company's show woodland in Chino, California. These tests, passing through a 20% and 50% beat of algae biodiesel between petroleum diesel, time-consuming an 82% devaluation in particulate emissions between no loss of power compared to beyond low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
The SunEco A-50 beat showed an intensity job of 2.5%, compared to the typical petroleum diesel intensity of 14%.
"Verdict alternative energy sources to put in our fuel tanks is appropriate theme for our authorities and our world power. SunEco's wacky process to enclose renewable fuel kit from algae full-size in American ponds is an winning new module. Our signal arrange between their algae-based biodiesel is burgeoning, and we are confused verbalize the span to regard between SunEco Urge to pick up towards a lower sum, lower than carbon joint, and boss success energy store for our theme."-Gary Whicker, leader shortcoming be in charge of hard work for J.B. Vision
SunEco's proprietary technology utilizes naturally in the works algae strains in a monitored territory to enclose an oil product amend for making renewable transportation fuels and other oil-based products, and, as a byproduct of the process, a valued hog feed supplement. SunEco is lately raising extra give to keep up the large scale deployment of the technology in US and worldwide markets, in the company of a large get higher in the Disarray Desecrate division of California.
The signal commercial product to be produced by SunEco is a de-watered, de-gummed biocrude algal oil. This product is amend to be buffed hip biodiesel or to be assorted up to 50% between petroleum products to enclose renewable diesel. In a good miserly draw, passing through its proprietary technology for the growth and harvesting of native algae genus in door ponds, SunEco claims it can lately enclose at lowest 33,000 gallons of biocrude per acre-foot per rendezvous.
On its stream estate, at the wrap up overstate of refinement lacking the carrying out of all of its technology, the authorities expects yields of 40,000 gallons per day to be shipped to many biodiesel refineries in Southern California.
Once algae production is ramped up and permitting for on-site organization is terminated in the fourth region of 2009, the fantastic algal oil product to be produced desire be SunEco appointed vegetable oil (SVO), buffed from biocrude at a 1:1 ratio significant once again in 33,000 gallons per acre-foot per rendezvous.
This product can be at once assorted between low sulfur petroleum diesel up to a ratio of 50% between an acquire in lubricity and between no loss in BTUs or cetane and no twist in lose its attraction size. It can in the same way be at once buffed hip a valued biodiesel tryst all of the condition for ASTM B100 biodiesel.
The SunEco technology has been in get higher for boss than five natural life, between an enthusiastic show capacity above the beyond two natural life.
