Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), also known as renewable biodiesel, is produced through catalytic hydro-processing of oils and fats. To ensure catalyst protection and stable operation, feedstocks such as used cooking oil, acid oil, tallow, fatty acid distillate and POME must undergo careful pretreatment.
Kumar designs robust, multi-feedstock pretreatment plants engineered for low operating costs and high reliability. Our systems prepare feedstocks to the highest standards, enabling long catalyst life and seamless downstream HVO production.
HVO pretreatment removes impurities and contaminants from diverse feedstocks, ensuring clean, stable input for hydrotreating.
Applications
HVO is a renewable, drop-in diesel replacement with wide application across aviation, road transport, marine, boilers and power generation.
Kumar's HVO pretreatment process
Kumar’s HVO pretreatment plants are designed for flexibility, processing both virgin and waste oils in the same system. They deliver consistent feed quality, extend catalyst life and optimise operational costs — because when it comes to renewable fuels, we’ve got what it takes for you to thrive.
Solutions for biofuels
We offer customised pre-treatment plants designed for multi-feedstock processing to produce HVO. Built with sturdy construction and minimal operating costs, these plants use a process similar to oil refining and can handle a wide range of raw materials. The flexible, multi-feedstock design allows the same plant to be used for both HVO production and edible oil refining.
