Production of biodiesel from side-stream refining products

Camelia Echim, Roland Verhé, Wim De Greyt and Christian Stevens


The main focus of this review is to offer an overview of different existing processes for converting side-stream refining products (soapstock, acid oil and deodorized distillates) into new generation energy sources. The review article calls for more research around the SSRPs for its efficient conversion into biodiesel/biofuel and outlines drawbacks of the methodologies reported in the literature so far.
