Many countries are increasing their use of biofuels as they are more environmentally-friendly, renewable and reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels or additives. Biofuels are oleochemicals – chemicals derived from agricultural oils and fats – and include hydrogen, methanol, ethanol and biodiesel (methyl ester).The oleochemical industry, like the petrochemical industry, has vacuum applications such as deodorization, distillation, drying, evaporation and reactor systems.

Edwards has an extensive range of process vacuum technologies for the biofuel industry, and can provide you with all of the required vacuum equipment needed for biofuel processes. From biodiesel and bioethanol production, glycerin and fatty acid purification, to combined heat & power (CHP) and bioethanol from biomass plants Edwards can provide the equipment that is essential to your process.

Edwards is the only manufacturer that can supply thermal vacuum tube producers world wide with a complete range of vacuum and turbo pumping systems to help maintain your delivery and quality requirements.

Thermal solar technology, using vacuum tube collectors, is the most efficient method of capturing the sun’s energy by heat transfer. Vacuum is an essential element in each stage of the manufacture of thermal vacuum tubes.
