BI’O’IL
Live natural “for the world”
BI’O’IL Technologies was started the research in 2009 for a eco-friendly fuel by natural resources, in response to the serious environmental and health hazards arising out of the various polluting emissions casing our environment. BI’O’IL Technologies was conceived by a group of Technologists with a comprehensive professional experience with multinational companies under the able stewardship of Mr. Hibathulla who is the M.D & Chief of Technology of the company. Mr. Hibathulla proposed a journey for the present society at large from the present polluted and harmful environment back to the green and pure environment as it was ages before. He thought of developing an alternative source of energy that can reduce pollution levels in our country, organic in nature. Soon his thoughts were materialized into action when the idea/concept of manufacturing Bio-diesel Processing Plants crystallized. The feedstock used was organic in character which produces Bio-diesel as per the ASTM, EN and BIS Standards. This marked the beginning of our organization. BI’O’IL will establish our first bio-diesel plant in Tirur in

Applications
Bio-diesel can be used in pure form (B100) or may be blended with petroleum diesel at any concentration in most injection pump diesel engines. New extreme high pressure (29,000 psi) common rail engines have strict factory limits of B5 or B20 depending on manufacturer Bio-diesel has different solvent properties than petrol-diesel, and will degrade natural rubber gaskets and hoses in vehicles (mostly vehicles manufactured before 1992), although these tend to wear out naturally and most likely will have already been replaced with FKM, which is non reactive to bio--diesel. Bio-diesel has been known to break down deposits of residue in the fuel lines where petrol-diesel has been used. As a result, fuel filters may become clogged with particulates if a quick transition to pure bio-diesel is made. Therefore, it is recommended to change the fuel filters on engines and heaters shortly after first switching to a bio-diesel blend.
Railway usage
British Train Operating Company Virgin Trains claimed to have run the world's first "bio-diesel train", which was converted to run on 80% petrol-diesel and only 20% bio-diesel, and it is claimed it will save 14% on direct emissions. The Royal Train on 15 September 2007 completed its first ever journey run on 100% bio-diesel fuel supplied by Green Fuels Ltd. His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, and Green Fuels managing director, James Hygate, were the first passengers on a train fueled entirely by bio-diesel fuel. Since 2007 the Royal Train has operated successfully on B100 (100% bio-diesel).
Similarly, a state-owned short-line railroad in Eastern Washington ran a test of a 25% bio-diesel / 75% petrol-diesel blend during the summer of 2008, purchasing fuel from a bio-diesel producer seated along the railroad tracks. The train will be powered by bio-diesel made in part from canola grown in agricultural regions through which the short line runs.
Also in 2007 Disneyland began running the park trains on B98 bio-diesel blends (98% bio-diesel). The program was discontinued in 2008 due to storage issues, but in January 2009 it was announced that the park would then be running all trains on bio-diesel manufactured from its own used cooking oils. This is a change from running the trains on soy-based bio-diesel.
Aircraft use
A test flight has been performed by a Czech jet aircraft completely powered on bio-diesel. Other recent jet flights using bio-fuel, however, have been using other types of renewable fuels.
As a heating oil
Bio-diesel can also be used as a heating fuel in domestic and commercial boilers, a mix of heating oil and bio-fuel which is standardized and taxed slightly differently than diesel fuel used for transportation. It is sometimes known as "bio-heat" (which is a registered trademark of the National Bio-diesel Board [NBB] and the National Oil heat Research Alliance [NORA] in the U.S., and Columbia Fuels in Canada). Heating bio-diesel is available in various blends; up to 20% bio-fuel is considered acceptable for use in existing furnaces without modification.
Older furnaces may contain rubber parts that would be affected by bio-diesel's solvent properties, but can otherwise burn bio-diesel without any conversion required. Care must be taken at first, however, given that varnishes left behind by petrol-diesel will be released and can clog pipes- fuel filtering and prompt filter replacement is required. Another approach is to start using bio-diesel as blend, and decreasing the petroleum proportion over time can allow the varnishes to come off more gradually and be less likely to clog. Thanks to its strong solvent properties, however, the furnace is cleaned out and generally becomes more efficient. A technical research paper describes laboratory research and field trials project using pure bio-diesel and bio-diesel blends as a heating fuel in oil fired boilers. During the Bio-diesel Expo 2006 in the UK, Andrew J. Robertson presented his bio-diesel heating oil research from his technical paper and suggested that B20 bio-diesel could reduce UK household CO2 emissions by 1.5 million tons per year.
A law passed under Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick requires all home heating diesels in that state to be 2% bio-fuel by July 1, 2010, and 5% bio-fuel by 2013.

Bio-diesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, propyl or ethyl) esters. Bio-diesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat (tallow)) with an alcohol.
Bio-diesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuel converted diesel engines. Bio-diesel can be used alone, or blended with petrol-diesel.
Bio-diesel is commonly produced by the transesterification of the vegetable oil or animal fat feedstock. There are several methods for carrying out this transesterification reaction including the common batch process, supercritical processes, ultrasonic methods, and even microwave methods.
Chemically, transesterified bio-diesel comprises a mix of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids. The most common form uses methanol (converted to sodium methoxide) to produce methyl esters (commonly referred to as Fatty Acid Methyl Ester - FAME) as it is the cheapest alcohol available, though ethanol can be used to produce an ethyl ester (commonly referred to as Fatty Acid Ethyl Ester - FAEE) bio-diesel and higher alcohols such as isopropanol and butanol have also been used. Using alcohols of higher molecular weights improves the cold flow properties of the resulting ester, at the cost of a less efficient transesterification reaction. A lipid transesterification production process is used to convert the base oil to the desired esters.

To set up a bio-diesel plant, we should have your own Jatropha plantation. Oil is currently not easily available. To set up 1,000 liters per day plant, you need a plantation in 200 hectares. Once you have a source of oil, you can set up a Bio-Diesel plant. Such a large patch of land is not available in India as one piece. Hence the plants have to collect seeds from a number of farmers. Practically all plants are running at very low capacities, or closed due to lack of Jatropha oil.
The lack Jatropha oil leads to find out oil instead of Jatropha oil, and then we conducted a research in coconut oil, sunflower oil, and soybeans oil. This all of the researches were taken more time to complete. So the result was good. Coconut oil, sunflower oil, and soybeans oil can use for bio-diesel production.
So we are utilizing the Kerala’s own coconut oil, sunflower oil and soybeans oil for producing the bio-diesel.
Coco bio diesel - A Perfect Natural Diesel
In very simple term, “bio-diesel” is fuel sourced from plant oil. Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) or
Coco-bio-diesel is coconut oil that has been converted to a diesel-like product through the removal of
Glycerine. Coconut oil (referred to as CNO) like all other plant oils has two main components -
Glycerine and fatty acids. One mole of glycerine is attached to three moles of fatty acid which is why it
is also called a triglyceride. The fatty acid component has volatility features similar to petroleum
Diesel but while glycerine is attached to it, the volatility range is suppressed. Glycerine has a high
Boiling temperature and will not volatilize easily which is why vegetable oils are excellent cooking oil.
However, a desirable volatility profile is necessary for combustion in high speed engines such as
Those used in automobiles. This therefore necessitates the removal of glycerine from the plant oil or
Animal fats are to produce an efficient diesel fuel.
The separation of glycerine from fatty acid is done by a reaction process known as etherification.
Methanol is reacted with coconut oil with the aid of a catalyst. After a sufficient time of reaction, phase
Separation occurs and the methanol and glycerine are drawn out of the mixture leaving just the fatty
Substance is known as methyl ester. Coconut methyl ester is a diesel-like derivative of coconut oil after
Its glycerine content has been separated. To a petroleum technologist, the fatty acid component of
Coconut oil reveals a world of many possible applications specially when the oil is converted to esters
For lubrications, additive products, and other special applications are the unique characteristics of coconut
Methyl ester and their implications to engine performance can be explained as follows:
First, the medium carbon fatty acids (MCFA) of coconut have excellent solvency or solubility. Such
feature makes Cocobiodiesel a perfect biodiesel for developing countries like the Philippines where
old diesel engine population comprises the majority. Old means heavy carbon deposits in the
Combustion chamber and clogged fuel nozzle tips resulting to inefficient combustion and high smoke
Emissions. Are the high solvency characteristics of coconut methyl esters, specifically its MCFA
Component, not normally present in other biodiesels, cleanses the fuel lines, decarbonizes the
Combustion chamber, and declogs the fuel nozzles to restore engine efficiency. Such restoration of
Fuel system efficiency accounts for the high mileage improvement on the use of Coco-bio-diesel blend in
Diesel fuel is especially in old engines.
