PASSION
AND INNOVATION

One-Pot is an innovative tech company whose purpose is to put on the market a new, highly innovative process for biofuels and green chemicals, produced from residual waste.
This technology is designed to improve currently used systems and overcome critical issues such as environmental, social and economic aspects.

The partnership with the National Research Centre (CNR), has allowed One-Pot to launch an industrial research project and create a highly innovative process for the production of biodiesel and glycerol ethers (M, Di and Ter GTBE) from a single passage of any type of vegetable oil, even those characterized by high acidity such as waste oil and animal fats, or from glycerol used for the sole GTBE production.
One-Pot has patented this technology worldwide.

TRADITIONAL PROCESS SYSTEMS

Traditional process systems use basic catalysts.

1. During the treatment of acid products, such as exhausted oils and animal fats there is the inevitable formation of soap, leading to numerous and costly washes and distillation.

2. The inevitable formation of glycerol (about 10% of production) as a co-product, as well as its low market value, lead to a significant impact on production costs.

3. Competition for land, with a risk of diverting farmland for biofuel production to the detriment of the food supply.

4. Limited production efficiency and high energy consumption.

5. High Initial Capital Investment

ONE-POT PROCESS SYSTEM

Based on an innovative process that uses a solid and acid catalyst, One-Pot system overcomes the previous mentioned issues.

1. NO SOAP FORMATION

Therefore avoiding washes and distillation.

2. GLYCEROL FREE

The innovative process is able to provide an effective transformation of glycerol into Glycerol Ethers (GTBEs, High Value co-product).

3. DIRECT TRANSFORMATION

The process catalyzes simultaneously and efficiently three different phases: the decomposition of MTBE (tert-butyl metyl ether), the transesterification of the triglyceride and the etherification of glycerol in a one single step transformation.

4. SUSTAINABILITY

The production process has reduced amounts of carbon dioxide emissions, as well as residual and waste production.

5. WASTE OIL TREATMENT

The versatility of the process allows the use of inedible and waste vegetable oils containing amounts of free fatty acids such as exhausted frying oils from the catering industry.

6. ENERGETIC EFFICIENCY

The process has a lower power consumption (-30%) than the current production systems, thanks to the use of microwaves, that allow the cracking of the reagent in a shorter time span. Plant production itself is therefore optimized in terms of energy consumption.

7. LOWER INVESTMENT COSTS

This innovative process takes place in a single step, meaning simpler and less expensive plant structures.

CO-PRODUCTION
OF BIODIESEL
AND GLYCEROL
ETHERS

A revolutionary process.

Ethers

As co-product of the production of the biodiesel, One-Pot technology obtains glycerol ethers (mono, D, Tri).

Direct treatment

One-Pot technology can also treat glycerol directly and turn it into glycerol ethers.

Uses

Glycerol ethers can be used as:

  • Hydraulic fluids
    (classified dot4)

  • Additive for fuels (Octane Booster)

  • Anti-icing and anti-icing for jet fuels
