Description

Biodiesel catalyst is a chemical catalyst that aids in the process of converting fats and vegetable oils into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which are then used as fuel. The use of such a catalyst is essential in the process because the reactions involved are extremely slow without one. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel and a great alternative to petroleum-based diesel. It is a green, non-toxic, and non-polluting fuel that can be produced from various animal and plant sources. Biodiesel can also be mixed with gasoline to increase its octane number and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The most common methods for the producing biodiesel include direct use and blending, thermal cracking, micro-emulsion, and transesterification. It is the most common method for producing biodiesel. It involves reacting the feedstock with an alcohol, usually methanol, in the presence of a catalyst, usually sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This process breaks down the long-chain triglycerides in the feedstock into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which are the main components of biodiesel. Transesterification is a well-established process that produces high-quality biodiesel and is widely used in commercial biodiesel production.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
