The future of Biodiesel Purification Technology

HALF the price of Ion Exchange Resins and TWICE as fast!

Eco2Pure™ is a unique cellulose based, natural and sustainable composition of adsorbent technologies, specifically formulated for biodiesel purification from any feedstock.

Eco2Pure™’s composition is designed to optimise purification efficiency and contamination removal, combined with increased flow enhancement charactaristics.

Eco2Pure™ is designed to be a filter-free wash process with no consumables in the wash stage.

Each kilogram of Eco2Pure™ is capable of purifying between 350-700 litres of biodiesel*, making it the lowest cost drywash biodiesel purification method in existence today.

Eco2Pure™ removes soaps, catalyst traces, residual methanol, moisture and other production residues from biodiesel, thereby assisting in the attainment of EN14214 & ASTM-D6751 quality standards.

Eco2Pure™ outperforms existing Ion Exchange Resin (IOX) technologies in terms of fuel quality, purification speed as well as price, boasting the lowest purification costs on the market today.

Eco2Pure™ can be used to replace or compliment your existing purification system whilst allowing for a reduction in overall purification costs.

The frequency of re-bedding (replacing the spent media) will depend on the level of impurities in your biodiesel, the amount of biodiesel treated and the size of the Treatment Tower.

So a single 50kg Treatment Tower could only require re-bedding on average every 35000 litres.

Loading is fast and simple and once Eco2Pure™ is loaded, no other intervention is required. Once the Eco2Pure™ is bedded in the Treatment Tower, it automatically purifies the biodiesel in a single passage of flow.

Eco2Pure™ is available in 10 kg tubs for easy storage and transportation for the smaller producer and available in bulk quantity for larger producers. For price breaks and details of a stocking distributor near you, please contact us for more details.

A Filtertechnik representative will work with you to determine the optimum utilization for your plant and to select the precise amount of Eco2Pure™ required, according to your process conditions.

Continuous flow

Filtertechnik’s unique design configurations enables continuous flow during the purification process, thereby eliminating any downtime. Any number of Eco2Pure™ Treatment Towers can be built into system designs, complete with pump, control panel and safety features. Flow rates will be governed accordingly to suit the number of towers in operation.

Single flow

As the unwashed biodiesel enters the Eco2Pure™ treatment tower, the fuel is purified in a single pass. In the same passage of flow the washed fuel passes through a long-life final polishing bank to allow for the removal of residual production residues and soaps.

Eco2Pure™ is scaleable to any size.
