Biomass-based Diesel

TRISYL^® silica helps biomass-based diesel processes improve yield and productivity while reducing the environmental footprint.

Recommended for the pre-treatment of feedstock for both renewable diesel and first generation biodiesel, TRISYL^® silica can also be used in biodiesel post-treatment by helping to substantially reduce the need for water washing. TRISYL^® silica enables the economic conversion of biomass to biodiesel and renewable diesel to be more efficient and environmentally sustainable.
