Detailed Palm Methyl Ester Description:


Palm Methyl Ester is a family of material that is used as a base for producing Bio Diesel. Palm Methyl Esters is produced from palm oil and is made through a chemical process called transesterification. The conversion of these oils to methyl esters involves the use of methanol as a raw material and a basic catalyst. As Palm Oil cannot be used directly as a diesel engine fuel because it has a higher viscosity than fuels obtained from petroleum products, it is converted into smaller molecules of methyl esters before it can be used as a diesel fuel. Palm Methyl Ester has a unique carbon chain distribution that is set by the oil and process used. Palm Methyl Ester is a ready diesel substitute and is the greatest potential as an alternative fuel source and have also been successfully tested and used as fuel for power stations and diesel passenger cars.
