Cricketfilter® – Advanced Filtration for Biofuels and Renewable Diesel
As global demand for cleaner energy rises, producers of renewable fuels, biodiesel, and renewable diesel must optimize filtration to meet performance, environmental, and economic goals. At Amafilter®, we deliver high-efficiency filtration systems for renewable fuel production, with the Cricketfilter® leading the way.
Why Filtration Matters in Renewable Fuel Production?
Effective solid-liquid separation is critical at every stage of the renewable fuel process — from used cooking oil (UCO) and animal fat pre-treatment, to glycerin removal, catalyst recovery, and final product polishing.
Typical Applications in Biofuel Processing:
- Feedstock filtration: Used cooking oil (UCO), tallow, yellow grease, palm oil
- Soap and glycerin removal
- Catalyst recovery
- Polishing of methyl esters or hydrocarbons
Poor filtration can lead to:
- Catalyst fouling
- Downtime from clogging
- Poor yield and product purity
- Regulatory compliance issues
