Feedstocks

UCO / Used Cooking Oil

Used Cooking Oil is a residual waste oil after the cooking process in the consumer range from households to industrial food processors. The UCO is mostly of vegetable origin and sourced globally.

POME / Palm Oil Mill Effluent

Palm Oil Mill Effluent accounts for approximately 0.5% of a palm oil mill’s production volume and is a waste stream that needs to be collected in order to reduce ground and water pollution as well as methan gas.

Fatty Acid

Fatty Acids are of several origins such as rapeseed and sunflower oils, a well known feedstock for biofuel production.

Fuels

UCOME / Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester

Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester is a Biodiesel, which was made from waste materials specifically Used Cooking Oils and Fats. The reuse of these waste raw materials makes them particularly sustainable and environmentally friendly. It is a prime example of waste to energy.

FAME / Fatty Acid Methyl Ester

Fatty Acid Methyl Ester is another general type of Biodiesel. The European standard EN 14214 and the derived German standard DIN EN 14214 describe the necessary properties of FAME for the use of this substance class as fuel for diesel engines. These standards do not provide a direct reference to the type of raw materials from which the corresponding FAME is to be produced. However, limit values for some parameters (e.g. oxidation stability, iodine number, proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids) indirectly determine the possible range of raw materials. NOF GmbH provides tailor made solutions for customers.

HVO / Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil is a synthetic Diesel which is made out of carbon content in vegetable and animal fats. The results are straight chain paraffinic hydrocarbons that are free of aromatics, oxygen and sulfur and have high cetane numbers. It is a very modern fuel which does not require engines to be specially maintained or refitted and is considered in the aviation industry.
