Filtration & Life Sciences Research Engineer Imerys
Renewable diesel feedstocks, commonly used cooking oil (UCO), poultry fat, beef tallow, or blends thereof, contain metals and phospholipids which can reduce catalyst life in renewable diesel production. This poster describes an adsorbent filter aid, CynerSorb, specifically designed to remove these impurities and maximize catalyst life. In addition to its excellent ability to remove metals and phospholipids, this material delivers a prolonged filtration cycle at high throughput, and is not oxidationcatalytic.
