Oil

Vegetable oils are obtained by the pressing (extraction) of oil crops, or by subsequent chemical extraction of pressed material by hexane.

More than 80% of worldwide production of vegetable oils is made up of four oils: palm, soybean, rapeseed and sunflower.

For the requirements of biodiesel production in our plants in Slovakia, Hungary and Croatia we purchase the following vegetable oils and animal fats:

MEROCO - Slovakia, Leopoldov:

• Rapeseed oil is the main material for biodiesel production
  - crude rapeseed oil - non-degummed oil, obtained by pressing and subsequent extraction by hexane
  - refined rapeseed oil - (degummed / top degummed) devoid of free fatty acids and phosphorus using chemical or physical method of refining
• Sunflower oil is an alternative material for biodiesel production
  - crude sunflower oil - non-degummed oil, obtained by pressing andsubsequent extraction by hexane
  - degummed non-winterized sunflower oil - devoid of phosphorus and free fatty acids
  - winterized sunflower oil - degummed sunflower oil, devoid of waxes by using winterization process.
• Used cooking oil (UCO) - used edible vegetable oil, which is produced as kitchen waste in restaurants, catering establishments and households. It can be used as raw material for the production of waste-based biodiesel, known as UCOME.
• Animal fats, category III - animal by-products or derived products. They can be used for the production of biodiesel , known as TME (Tallow Methyl Ester).
• Refined palm oil / palm olein - is an alternative material for biodiesel production.
• Corn oil - oil obtained by pressing and subsequent extraction of corn germs, or obtained by centrifuging of corn syrup from bioethanol production.

ROSSI BIOFUEL - Hungary, Komárom:

• Rapeseed oil is the main material for biodiesel production
  - crude rapeseed oil - non-degummed oil, obtained by pressing and subsequent extraction by hexane
  - refined rapeseed oil - (degummed / top degummed) devoid of free fatty acids and phosphorus using chemical or physical method of refining
• Sunflower oil is an alternative material for biodiesel production
  - crude sunflower oil - non-degummed oil, obtained by pressing andsubsequent extraction by hexane
  - degummed non-winterized sunflower oil - devoid of phosphorus and free fatty acids
  - winterized sunflower oil - degummed sunflower oil, devoid of waxes by using winterization process.
• Used cooking oil (UCO) - used edible vegetable oil, which is produced as kitchen waste in restaurants, catering establishments and households. It can be used as raw material for the production of waste-based biodiesel, known as UCOME.
• Animal fats, category I and II – animal-based residue, which falls under EU category I and II. This material can be used for the production of biodiesel , known as TME (Tallow Methyl Ester). Refined palm oil / palm olein - is an alternative material for biodiesel production.

BIODIZEL VUKOVAR - Croatia, Vukovar:

• Refined rapeseed oil - top degummed: devoid of free fatty acids and phosphorus using chemical or physical method of refining
