Project aim:
The aim of the project was to develop a robust and cost-effective automated processing method, a “Green Box” for production of bio heating oil, using wastes sources in form of fat and grease from food production industry and grease traps as a raw material. The “Green Box” provided a process which gives an end-product with pre-determined quality in addition to enabling production of bio oil from fat and grease waste from grease traps, which currently are disposed as a waste. The Green Box had also additional advantage in the form of environmental conservation.
