BF 170 PDS

Indion BF170 is an ion exchange resin that removes impurities like salts, glycerin, and soaps from biodiesel. It acts as a desiccant to remove trace amounts of water as well. The resin is used after phase separation and demethylation to purify biodiesel and meet ASTM or EU specifications. Based on typical biodiesel quality, 1 kg of BF170 can treat 1000-1500 kg of biodiesel. The resin is supplied as golden yellow to brown beads in 25 or 50 kg packaging.

soaps from Biodiesel. This dry resin will act as a in the column. Defining the levels of glycerin, salt, water
desiccant to remove water present in traces in Biodiesel. and unreacted catalyst in the stream being processed,
Indion BF 170 is used to purify the Biodiesel after is critical for the amount of resin required for
phase separation and demethylation stages. Biodiesel processing.
treated through BF 170 will meet ASTM or EU Based on the quality of biodiesel generally available in
specifications for B 100. the industry, it is seen that 1 kg of BF170 will be able to
treat 1000 - 1500 kgs of biodiesel.
