Abstract
The aim of the project is to design and construct the processing unit including necessary logistic facility capable to treat vegetable oils, sludge from eatable oils production, used cooking oil for production of renewable diesel (RD) component – hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO). HVO meets CEN Technical Specification TS 15940:2012 [1] for paraffinic diesel thus may be blended into diesel fuel without any limit (except density); no special labeling at fuel retail stations is required. The proposal emphasizes the usage of the existing refining technology for proposed HVO production process, maximizing usage possibility of the existing units and/or equipment in Novi Sad refinery. The plant of 150 000 t/y has been considered, with hydro-treatment and hydro-isomerization as the two main processing units, with distillation section at its end maximizing renewable diesel production. This production also provides approx. 37 500 t/y of valuable by-products (bio-C1/C2, bio-LPG, bio-naphtha, bio-jet). The technology evaluation shows that the viability of the HVO project is strongly dependent on the availability of raw materials, their prices and purchase conditions.
