Florida Biodiesel Inc. announced it has completed sale of a B-60 biodiesel processor to Avandith Energy in Lagos, Nigeria. The unit will be used for Avandith Energy’s pilot transesterification facility. The company says the B-60 will allow production of four batches of biodiesel in 24 hours. The B-60 will also be used as a hands-on educational tool to show students and government agencies how to make renewable energy.
“We will process jatropha oil collected locally into biodiesel fuel,” said Oladunjoye Waleola of Avandith Energy. “The B-60 is very user friendly, has a low carbon footprint and will economically produce biodiesel for us.”
