For the rendering industry, the production of AGTANE in sufficiently large quantities presents an effective means to help keep YG prices from falling below a minimum threshold (approximately $0.09/lb.).
Scientists at the CANMET Energy Technology Centre (CANMET) in Ontario, Canada, have proven at lab scale a process to convert YG and/or tallow and/or poultry fat into a valuable low-sulfur, high cetane premium diesel blending stock. The process used is based on a refining technology called hydrotreating. Figure 1 describes the necessary equipment and the material flows. The principal output is a diesel blending stock called AGTANE (for AGricultural ceTANE) in English speaking countries (e.g. Australia, United Kingdom, United States, etc.), and BIOZOLE in French speaking countries. http://www.mhr-viandes.com/en/docu/docu/d9000137.htm ------------------------ Yahoo!
