About LOW ACIDITY ACID OIL (ARE)
LOW ACIDITY ACID OIL IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART RENEWABLE MATERIAL ORIGINATED FROM ACID WASTE AND RESIDUES WHOSE PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES ALLOW ITS CONVERSION TO ADVANCED RENEWABLE ENERGY, REPRESENTING A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY FOR THE COMPLIANCE OF DECARBONIZATION OBJECTIVES.
AVAILABLE IN THE VARIANTS 100% VEGETABLE, 100% ANIMAL, MIX VEGETABLE AND ANIMAL AND IN THE QUALITIES LOW ACIDITY (3% FFA MAX.) AND ULTRA LOW ACIDITY (1% FFA MAX.).
THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS 100% CERTIFIED BY ISCC (INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY & CARBON CERTIFICATION) AND, DUE TO ITS ORIGIN (SOAPSTOCK ACID OIL CONTAMINATED WITH SULFUR), APPLIES TO DOUBLE COUNTING (DC) BIOFUELS SCHEMES FROM SEVERAL COUNTRIES.
THE QUALITY OF THE LOW ACIDITY ACID OIL IS GUARANTEED BY OUR LABORATORY, WHICH, IN ADDITION TO OWNING LAST GENERATION EQUIPMENT, PARTICIPATES ANNUALLY IN AN INTERNATIONAL STUDY (INSTITUTE FOR INTERLABORATORY STUDIES SGS NETHERLANDS B.V.) THAT CERTIFIES ITS PERFORMANCE COMPARING IT WITH APPROXIMATELY 80 LABORATORIES IN MORE THAN 20 COUNTRIES.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be used in first generation transesterification processes?
Yes. It can be used mixed with vegetable oils, used cooking oil and animal fats in transesterification processes without final distillation, or pure in processes with final distillation.
Can it be used in HVO processes and co-processing in hydrotreatments?
Yes. With proper pre-treatment, and mixed with vegetable oils, used cooking oil and animal fats, it can be used in HVO processes and co-processing in hydrotreatments.
Can it be used directly as fuel in stationary engines and boilers?
Yes. Due to its low carbon intensity and very low sulfur content, it is a fuel that generates very low CO2 and SOx emissions.
In what logistics modalities can Low Acidity Acid Oil be purchased?
The available logistics modalities are: tanker truck (30 MT/truck), isoTK (23.2 MT/isoTK), flexiTK (21.8 MT/flexiTK) and bulk for volumes greater than 1,000 MT.
Does Low Acidity Acid Oil has applications in FEED-FOOD?
No. Due to the presence of trace contaminants that do not affect its performance in energy applications, Low Acidity Acid Oil is not classified for FEED-FOOD applications.
What is Explora S.A.'s Low Acidity Acid Oil supply capacity?
The current supply capacity is 24,000 MT/year, scalable nX times in Argentina or other locations around the world through the installation of the 100% self-developed deacidification technology module.
What CO2 equivalent emissions savings can be achieved with Low Acidity Acid Oil?
Biofuel produced from Low Acidity Acid Oil can save up to 85% CO2 equivalent emissions, while if used as final fuel it can save up to 98% CO2 equivalent emissions.
