ESTERS

Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) – formed in the process of treatment with methanol in the presence of a catalyst for vegetable oils and / or animal fats.

FAME is used as:

  • fuel
  • fuel additive
  • raw material for further processing in oleochemical processes
  • solvent and / or component of chemical products.

Due to the type of raw material used in the production of FAME, we distinguish:

  • RME – rapeseed oil esters
  • PME – palm oil esters
  • SME – soybean oil esters
  • AME – animal fat esters
  • UCOME – esters from used cooking oil
  • FAME 0 – esters from an oil mixture with a cold filter blocking temperature of 0 ° C
  • FAME -10 – esters from an oil mixture with a blocking temperature of the cold filter -10 ° C
