MUMBAI, India, July 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202311086231 A) filed by Council Of Scientific And Industrial Research, New Delhi, on Dec. 15, 2023, for 'a process for producing renewable hydrocarbons fuel from crude byproduct of animal wastes fat oil biodiesel.'
Inventor(s) include Arumugam Selvamani; Nagabhatla Viswanadham; Anjan Ray; Tathod Anup Prakash; Arumugam Sivasamy; and Kalarical Janardhanan Sreeram.
The application for the patent was published on July 4, under issue no. 27/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A Process for Producing Renewable Hydrocarbon Fuel from Crude Byproduct of Animal Wastes Fat Oil Biodiesel The present invention provides two types of low-value crude byproducts SOB and POB having various hydrocarbon contents i.e. huge amount of unconverted -TG, -FFA, -methanol along with -glycerol derived from slaughterhouses and poultry animal wastes fat oils biodiesel as novel bio-feedstocks for the production of C5+ hydrocarbons, especially bio-aromatics. The method demonstrates a vapor phase catalytic process for the direct conversion of such crude byproducts SOB and POB to produce bio-aromatics suitable renewable fuel application, over a versatile Zn/SBZ extrudate shape micro-mesoporous zeolite catalyst in a fixed bed reactor unit under mild reaction conditions. The method is also for increasing the overall economy of the biodiesel industries by converting their low-value crude byproducts into high-value fuel-grade hydrocarbons."
