HATTIESBURG, Miss., Sept. 13, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Bio-Solutions Franchise Corp. (BSFC), the exclusive marketing company for Bio-Solutions Manufacturing, Inc. (OTCBB:BSLM), a publicly traded company, announced today that it has received its first four (4) units required to collect fats, oil and grease (FOGs) needed to create biodiesel. Each unit is capable of extracting the FOGs and biodegrading the remaining organic waste in cooking establishment grease traps or municipal lift stations on a continuing basis.
Biodiesel is defined as the mono-alkyl ester of fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. In simple terms, biodiesel is the product you get when a vegetable oil or animal fat chemically reacts with an alcohol to produce a new compound that is known as a fatty acid alkyl ester. A catalyst such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is required. Glycerol is produced as a byproduct.
Bio-Solutions can make biodiesel from the following feed stocks: yellow and brown grease that are extracted from waste products, including trapped grease, (from cooking establishment grease traps), and floating grease (from wastewater treatment plants).
Converting vegetable oils and animal fats in the form of cooking oils and frying grease from cooking establishments (even when extracted from grease traps and municipal lift stations) is much more economically feasible (since these are waste products we get paid to dispose of) than using soy oil and other plant extracts that have to be purchased for conversion.
The benefits of converting the FOGs into biodiesel include a lower cost of production, providing a market for waste vegetable oils and animal fats and decreasing the country's dependence on imported petroleum. This unique product is renewable and contributes less to global warming than fossil fuels due to its closed carbon cycle, has lower sulfur exhaust emissions than regular diesel fuel and has excellent lubricating properties enabling us to convert fuels with poor lubricating properties (such as ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel) into an acceptable fuel.
According to G.G. Pearl, "Animal Fat Potential for Bioenergy Use," Bioenergy 2002, The Tenth Biennial Bioenergy Conference in Boise, Idaho, there is an average of "23.659 billion pounds of vegetable oil and 11.638 billion pounds of animal fats produced each year." With combined vegetable oil and animal fat production totals equaling approximately 35.3 billion pounds a year, yearly potential production of biodiesel stands at 4.64 billion gallons per year.
