Vegetable Oil

Vegetable oil has enormous potential as a source of energy. The more efficient the conversion into useable energy becomes, the greater the profitability will be. Research findings from new applications show that the potential for energy that can be generated from vegetable oil is growing. That is, provided advanced technologies are implemented.

Pro2's newest CHP plants turn vegetable oil into an alternative energy source with minimal adverse effects on the climate. Effective, compelling and environmentally responsible. The electrical output and the maximised cooling water and waste gas heat utilisation make electricity and heat generation from vegetable oil efficient and profitable.

Used economically and efficiently, vegetable oil from renewable raw materials offers astounding performance characteristics as an energy source. Pro2 co-generation power (CHP) plants achieve first-rate values in energy generation with this fuel of the future. And operating Pro2 CHP plants with vegetable oil is a competitive alternative to limited fossil fuels. Moreover, it’s a compelling solution thanks to the plants’ effective and independent supply of energy and their environmentally-friendly, CO2 neutral operation.

Pro2’s OC 400 vegetable oil CHP plant achieves top performance values in vegetable oil energy utilisation. The power generated with a modular electric output of 400 kW is used in the area of energy utilisation or fed into the power grid and offers attractive compensation options thanks to the new Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG).

Advantages of the Pro2 vegetable oil co-generation power plant

• Ready-for-connection heat extraction
• Exhaust bypass system for heat extraction
• Efficient emergency cooler on the roof of the container

The Pro2 CHP plant further maximises the efficiency of vegetable oil. The cooling water and exhaust heat generated during the process reaches temperature levels up to 90° C and is made useable by a transfer heat exchanger and passed on to heating systems or grids. These are all profitable attributes that pay off every day in a number of areas such as hospitals, industrial, livestock or horticultural facilities.
