DETAILS
Inventure Renewables has announced an agreement with
Wilmar International and Desmet Ballestra Group
to begin construction on a new facility
in Jiangsu province, China.
The plant, which will bolt on to an existing Wilmar facility,
will utilize Inventure’s recently developed
to convert low-value processing residues
into valuable, uncontaminated Free Fatty Acids.
Construction of the facility is slated to begin
in the first quarter of 2019.
John Brown,
Inventure’s Chief Operating Officer
“The announcement of the new plant
is a validation of our soap carbonate technology, and
of our ability to walk a project from research to reality,”
“Inventure’s Mixed Super Critical Fluid technology
is already being used by Wilmar
to produce FAME for oleochemicals and biodiesel
from a wide range of vegetable oil feedstocks,
and we’re very excited to break ground
with them on this new project.”
Giuseppe Di Carpegna,
General Manager of Desmet Ballestra S.p.A.-
Mazzoni LB Soap, which is closely cooperating with Inventure
for the industrialization and the commercialization
of this technology
and which will provide engineering services
and required technical assistance
for the construction and the start-up.
“Inventure’s Soap Carbonate Technology
is attractive for two reasons,”
“First, it’s more sustainable —it can avoid
the use of sulfuric acid, generates no acidic wastewater,
and traps CO2 as NaHCO3 in water.
Second, it allows for near complete recovery
of targeted oleo-chemical products, and is much more
cost-effective than recovering FFA from palm oil or tallow.”
Matt Morgenroth,
Group Technical Head at Wilmar International Limited
“The market for green oleochemicals is rapidly expanding,”
“By adopting Inventure’s Soap Carbonate Technology
at our Jiangsu plant, we will be better positioned
to help meet this demand.”
