Fatty Acid Distillation Plant

📍 Kırklareli, Türkiye

Complete installation and commissioning of a modern fatty acid distillation plant, a stable, energy-efficient process producing high-purity fatty acids with consistent quality and reliable long-term operation.

Scope: process engineering, mechanical installation supervision, commissioning & start-up, process optimization, operator training and production stabilization.

Advanced Biodiesel Transesterification Plants

📍 İzmir, Şanlıurfa, Niğde, Türkiye

Conventional technologies need an extra distillation plant to reach EN 14214 from waste oils, increasing investment, energy use and footprint. Save Tech's proprietary reaction technology produces EN 14214 compliant biodiesel directly from 100% used cooking oil, with no biodiesel distillation.

Designed to lean manufacturing principles: a highly compact facility with lower CAPEX and OPEX, reduced utility consumption and simplified operation.

Used Bleaching Earth Recycling in DTDC

♻ Sustainable value from industrial waste

Vegetable oil plants generate large quantities of used bleaching earth, creating disposal costs and environmental concerns. Save Tech's dosing system safely integrates UBE into the DTDC during soybean meal production under carefully controlled conditions.

The result: disposal costs eliminated, plant profitability improved, and a genuine circular-economy implementation, with no major additional equipment required.

🇪🇺 Designed to comply with the EU Catalogue of feed materials, Regulation (EU) 2022/1104 (max. 1 % used bleaching earth and filter aids, entries 2.18.13/2.18.14). Details →

Project 04

Oil Recovery from Oily Perlite

📍 Perlite oil recovery plant, Mersin, Türkiye

The oily perlite filter cake from refinery filtration retains a significant amount of vegetable oil. Save Tech implemented an engineered recovery step that separates this oil and returns it to the process instead of losing it with the discharged perlite.

The recovered oil is clear and of documented quality, verified by laboratory samples. The result is a measurable increase in overall refinery yield from a stream that previously left the plant as a loss.

ProcessEngineered oil recovery
ResultRecovered oil returned to process
BenefitHigher overall refinery yield
