Novozymes FlexFit®
Future-proof your biodiesel plant with guaranteed performance and feedstock flexibility
Learn how you can make the switch to waste-based biodiesel quickly and always operate at peak performance.
The biodiesel industry is changing...and technology can fuel the transition
Biodiesel producers recognize feedstock flexibility as a key challenge in transitioning away from used cooking oil and vegetable oils. In fact, a recent survey* found that increasing flexibility will likely be the dominant industry trend over the next decade.
However, with no consensus on the choice of new feedstocks, producers foresee technical barriers to diversifying their feedstock base. Incorporating waste-based and advanced feedstocks and dealing with variable quality are critical to remaining competitive. Many producers, however, simply don’t have this capability.
But what if you could make feedstock decisions based on cost and availability instead of being constrained by your own processing capabilities–and put your plant on the path to waste-based biodiesel with a performance guarantee?

Introducing FlexFit® technology
Whether you want to increase yields as a side stream or convert your entire process to the efficient production of waste-based biodiesel, FlexFit® technology gives you the flexibility the future requires.
FlexFit®enables first-generation biodiesel producers to significantly increase their profits by converting waste-based and advanced feedstocks, such as used cooking oil and animal fats, into fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) biodiesel and processes the full range of free fatty acids and glycerides. And, because it operates at atmospheric pressure and low temperature, FlexFit® helps reduce your construction and operating costs.
With guaranteed performance, you’ll know what end-product quality and plant throughput to expect – all while experiencing improved plant performance and gaining the flexibility to purchase the cheapest feedstocks.
