Lister Petter Bio Rig 400 : Model-LP BR 400
(Maximum output per batch: 420 litres of biodiesel
Maximum output in 24 hours: approx. 10,000 litres)
Production unit for cheap and sustainable biodiesel
About the Bio Rig 400:
This innovative easy-to-use unit produces biodiesel from vegetable oil and methanol,
using a catalyst of caustic soda. Main benefits:
: cheap and sustainable fuel production
: programmed operation if needed
: versatile manual operation if desired
About Biodiesel
Biodiesel made with the Bio Rig 400 is:
: cheap to produce, using pure vegetable oil
(eg. Palm oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil)
: carbon neutral
: renewable
: cleaner than fossil fuels (see later table)
: suitable for use in specially adapted engines
: suitable for blending with conventional diesel in concentrations of 5%, 10%, 20% etc (B5, B10, B20) which can be used in most diesel engines without modification.
: much better for engine lubrication
: less flammable than conventional diesel
*Amount of biodiesel per batch. (In addition, 80 litres of glycerol are
produced.)
