When it comes to biofuel, Eastman Therminol® heat transfer fluids ensure the high thermal stability and precise temperature control required for optimum yields and product quality. This includes traditional biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel as well as biofuels produced through biomass-to-liquid (BTL) processes.
Nearly every step of biodiesel production requires efficient heating or cooling of the product, from temperatures of 25°C (77°F) or lower to 200°C (392°F) or higher in some processes. Other biofuel technologies require even higher temperatures up to 380°C (716°F) to achieve high-quality fuel based on renewable sources.
Whatever the temperature needs, Therminol fluids and the experts at Eastman can help ensure the proper temperature stability needed for biofuel production is maintained through smooth and efficient operation.
