Sodium Methylate Solution

Biodiesel

Green Catalysts' Sodium Methylate (SMO) solution is an ideal base catalyst in the production of Biodiesel, as our SMO is produced from caustic and methanol using a proprietary dehydration process.

The Federal government is providing tax incentives to promote the use of Biodiesel due to its superior blending properties of zero-sulfur with commercial diesel to reduce emissions. The state of Minnesota passed a law recently for the mandatory use of 2% Biodiesel blend for the entire diesel sold in the state and other states are expected to follow Minnesota's lead.

SMO catalyst improves the yield of Biodiesel and reduces the gum formation during the conversion process. Green Catalysts' eco-friendly SMO offers significant compatibility with the Biodiesel process while providing improved cost benefits.

Sodium Methylate Powder

Food

Sodium Methylate anhydrous powder is widely used as a transesterification catalyst in the production of Margarine and Shortenings. Small amounts of SMO powder are added to the dry oil that are low in free fatty acids to catalyze the reaction to produce margarine. SMO catalysed transesterfication yields products with improved consistency and also reduced melting points with ideal baking properties.

Food applications are very sensitive to impurities including the trace amounts of any mercury compounds. Green Catalysts' SMO powder does not contain or use any compounds containing mercury unlike other SMO products that are currently marketed.

Our process does not use either sodium metal or mercury amalgamation process instead Green Catalysts process uses caustic dehydration process which produces clean, food-safe SMO powder without any contaminants and is also more cost effective.
