Conical Biofuel Inductor Tanks

Conical Biofuel Inductor Tanks are used in for storage and the manufacture of biofuels. Many installers prefer the conical tanks as the cone outlet has a smooth transition from tank to drainpipe where the liquid exits the tank.

Conical Biofuel Inductor Tank Advantages

There are many advantages of plastic cone bottom tanks including being a lot cheaper than steel. In natural the tank walls are translucent so you can see inside them without the need for additional level indicators.  These are suitable for up to 45 deg C, above this temperature we recommend the polypropylene tanks which are suitable up to 65 deg C.  Being chemically inert, do not promote auto-oxidation, do not rust and oil does not form a skin on the inside of the tank like it sometimes does with bare steel.  View our range here

What is the biofuel production process?

Biofuel production is the process in which biofuels or fossil fuel alternatives are created. This recent innovation has effectively spurred on a completely new technology, which may eliminate or significantly reduce our dependence on the finite supplies of traditional petroleum-based derivatives of fossil fuels.  The essence of biofuel production is that it is primarily a sustainable form of fuel production. Research has gone into depths to discover the best ways to develop a fuel or gas, which has almost limitless supply. As a result, there now exists real alternatives to fossil fuels and biofuel production is a reality.

Existing research into biofuel production has been focused on technology that converts crops directly into biofuels, normally consuming the whole crop in the process.  Recent research has proven that whilst it may be effective, long term this is an environmentally unfriendly process due to the sheer production quantities needed to remove fossil fuel dependencies.

Biomass Feedstock

A wide variety of biomass feedstocks are available, and biomass can be produced anywhere that plants or animals can live. Most feedstocks can be made into liquid fuels, heat, electric power, or biobased products.  This makes biomass a flexible resource that can be adapted locally to meet local needs. Some of the most common biomass feedstocks are:

• Grains and starch crops – sugar cane, corn, wheat, sugar beets, industrial sweet potatoes
• Food waste – waste products, food processing waste
• Animal by-products – Tallow, fish oil, manure
• Energy crops – Switchgrass, hybrid poplar, willow, algae
• Urban and suburban wastes – municipal solid wastes, wastewater treatment sludge, waste cooking oil
