Biofuels are oleochemicals – chemicals derived from agricultural oils and fats.
The oleochemical industry is similar to the petrochemical industry with many vacuum applications such as deodorisationdistillation and evaporation.
BOC Edwards’ vacuum technologies include liquid ring vacuum pumpssteam ejectors and pioneering the development and use of dry vacuum pumps. The main benefits of dry vacuum pumps are no effluent generationno contaminationhigh reliabilityhigh vacuum and lower cost of ownership.
