Presenter: Alan Paine, Consultant, UK
Moderator: Mike Martinez, AOCS Processing Division Secretary-Treasurer, Natural Plant Products, Inc., USA
Alan Paine recently retired from a career in the Desmet Ballestra group covering 36 years which included the design of edible oil refineries and pre-treatment of oil to make biodiesel. In this webinar he will highlight opportunities for reducing energy use in edible oil processing plants – opportunities that provide benefits and a return on investment in addition to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. He will also discuss the use of oils from biological sources to replace petroleum in diesel and jet fuel, and the considerable potential for producing biofuels from agricultural and forestry waste material.
