NOTE These companies have submitted information
regarding their retail fueling sites to the
National Biodiesel Board. Failure to find a
retail fueling site in your area does not
neccessarily mean biodiesel is not available in

BIOBOOST
? ECR BIODIESEL, ATLANTA HAS DEVELOPED A NOVEL
AND PROPRIETY BIODIESEL TECHNOLOGY CALLED
BIOBOOST ? THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT IS
COMMERCIALISED IN A 30,000 LITRE PER DAY SYSTEM
IN THE MID WESTERN PART OF THE US AND HAS BEEN
IN OPERATION SINCE LAST OCTOBER, 2004. ? THE
TECHNOLOGY USES A NEW CATALYTIC CONCEPT CALLED
ELECTRO-CHEMICAL METHOD OF PERFORMING
TRANSESTERIFICATION AND ESTERIFICATION
SIMULATANEOUSLY.
12
? THIS MEANS THAT HIGH FREE FAT OILS CAN BE
PROCESSED WITHOUT LOOSING THEM TO ACID
STRIPPING AS PER CONVENTIONAL ACID/BASE
CATALYSED METHODS GENERALLY EMPLOYED
WORLDWIDE. ? ECR PROCESS PERFORMS
ETHERIFICATION OF THE GLYCERIC MOLECULE TO
PRODUCE BUILD-IN-ADDITIVE A COMPLETE HOMOGENEOUS
MIXTURE OF MONO ALKYL ESTERS WITH A 100 YIELD
AFTER REACTION.
