EF-6.5 – Biomass Fuel Technology
EF-6.5 Biomass Fuel Technology tray covers the entire process of producing biofuels.
The Armfield EF-6.5 additionally covers production of biodiesel through transesterification of fats.
Description
EF-6.5 Biomass Fuel Technology tray covers the entire process of producing biofuels. It starts with the biological step of alcoholic fermentation. Afterwards the produced mash will be distilled with the help of the supplied condenser.
The final stage is the conversion of the produced biofuel into usable energy, such as electrical energy, using the provided Ethanol-fuel cell.
The Armfield EF-6.5 additionally covers production of biodiesel through transesterification of fats.
