In recent years, biodiesel has become a strategic sector in the country, with a mandatory minimum biodiesel content established for all diesel consumed, both in transport and in energy production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">One of the challenges associated with biodiesel produced from palm and soybean oil is that, at low temperature, precipitates can form and clog the filters of the systems in which it is used, such as diesel vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">To address this issue, the client implemented a technology aimed at improving biodiesel filtration and required a tubular heat exchanger to heat the product with steam as part of the production process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">For this application, SACOME\u2019s technical team designed an \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/intercambiador-multipaso-industrial\/\"><b>I-TFMP-I exchanger<\/b><\/a><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">, a <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>multi-pass unit in TEMA Type AEM configuration<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">, allowing quick and easy access to the tube side through a blind flange on the biodiesel connection side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>Designed to support process improvement where product behaviour makes the difference.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What kind of solution does a biodiesel process require when product behaviour directly affects filtration?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[346],"class_list":["post-43229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-biodiesel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43229"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43229"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43236,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43229\/revisions\/43236"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
