BIOMICROGEL - Oil Extraction Boost

These biopolymers substitute standard synthetic polymers in home care and cosmetics products, industrial wastewater treatment, vegetable oils extraction as well as oil spill response sectors, making them more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable.

 

KEY ADVANTAGES

• Plant-based and 100% biodegradable 

• Cost-efficient

• Easy to use

 

BIOMICROGELS® ARE NANO-SCALE PLANT-BASED BIOPOLYMERS THAT :

• Boost oil extraction, increase productivity
• Enhance OER
• Reduce oil losses in wastes
• Patented in more than 60 countries

 

BIOMICROGEL® FOR PALM OIL

• Increases CPO extraction
• Reduces extraction time in Clarifier
• Works with temperatures up to 100?C
• Reduces water consumption in COT tank up to 50% 
• Reduces oil content in Heavy Phase, Cake, POME
• Reduces FFA (~10-15%), moisture content in CPO and SPO (from 17% to 0.9%)
• No changes in Mills operating procedures
• Low implementation and running costs
• BMG effectively works with Empty Bunch Liquor and Palm Kernel Oil in lab tests

 

LAB TESTS CONFIRMATION

BMG effect demonstrated in a lab test with Underflow sludge samples placed in a bath tub

BMG extracts additional 5-30% oil in 1 hour in lab tests

BMG effect demonstrated in a lab test with COT samples placed in a bath tub

BMG extracts additional 58% oil after 1 hour and 88% after 2 hours in lab tests
 

BIOMICROGEL® FOR PALM OIL – HOW IT WORKS

When Biomicrogel® solution is added to DCO or Underflow, the microgel particles displace all these substances (crushed fruits and the surfactants) from the surface of the oil droplets

BMG particles help to release oil trapped between fruits residue.

 

TESTS RESULTS: OIL VOLUME % VS TIME

Oil level vs time curve, 3% BMG solution, Dosing 1 g/l
