Treatment and recycling of fatty waste using the Lipoval process

Objective

The LIPOVAL process treats all types of fatty waste, with limited costs and leads to a recyclable fatty product. It is composed of several stages; the main step uses a patented centrifuge which can separate fatty waste in three re-usable fractions : a solid fraction (mainly food residues) which can be composted, an aqueous fraction, which can be by biological and physical treatment (i.e. in soap production), and a concentrated fatty fraction, which has constant properties and can be recycled as a secondary raw material or as a bio fuel.

In France, production of fatty waste is reaching 550.000 t. per year, in a large part from urban areas. The European production can be estimated at 3 millions t/year.
The treatment of fatty waste originating from restaurants, food industries and households is a real problem in the European Union: current treatments are too expensive or unable to treat the different types of fatty waste.
