Overview :
Transbiodiesel Ltd. has patented technology on the use of unique immobilized lipases for the production of biodiesel from different oils, including plant oils, animal fats and recycled greases.
The developed immobilized lipases are characterized with their high resistance towards short-chain alcohols, typically used as substrates in the production process of biodiesel. Also, the developed immobilized lipases are recyclable and tolerate various inhibitors typically present in raw materials. The developed enzymatic process for production of biodiesel is economically feasible and even competitive with the costs for the currently practiced conventional chemically-catalyzed production process. Further more, the production process is benign for the environment and the by-product produced in the process, namely glycerol, can be used for food and pharmaceutical applications without excessive purification.
