Biodiesel is mainly used in Spain as an automotive fuel. However, it has multiple uses with different regulatory requirements. However, can the biodiesel obtained in Life Superbiodiesel have other uses, and which are the market applications of the project's developments? An analysis of other market applications has been carried out,...

Industrial reactors are containers designed to ensure that the substances are in proper contact with each other so that they are correctly modified, controlling that the pressure, temperature and speed conditions necessary to obtain the expected reaction are maintained. An example of a reactor is the pilot plant of the...

The pilot plant of the LIFE Superbiodiesel project, after separating the fat fraction to obtain biodiesel, applies an enzymatic process to obtain biostimulants or organic fertilizers from the protein fraction obtained as a by-product of the previous process. The use of these biostimulants simplifies the nitrogen cycle of plants by...

Any living organism synthesizes amino acid sequences to form proteins. Plants behave in the same way, by directly using the amino acids to get nurtured, thus avoiding having to synthetize them and saving this energy to perform different metabolic processes that boost their production. The enzymatic process used within the...
