CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PROJECT TO NATURAL LIFE

In terms of human and environmental health, the project has two major contributions

Recovery of Waste Plantal Oils

By eliminating the damage caused by waste plantal oils to the environment, the pollution of drinking water will be prevented, and the threat to sea creatures will also be eliminated. Namely; used plantal oil is the source of 25% of the wastewater pollution. The oil-grease value in restaurant wastewater varies between 100-300 mg/lt. In case of recovery of waste plantal oils, the oil-grease value in the wastewater will be 24-144 mg/lt. When the plantal and animal waste oils in the wastewater, which are not cleaned with the treatment method, are poured into the seas, lakes, and streams, it causes great destruction to all living things, especially fish, due to the pollution of the water and the decrease in oxygen in the water. Within the scope of this project, the recovery of waste oils will contribute to the elimination of this negative effect. 1 liter of waste oil leaves 100,000 liters of water without oxygen. In this respect; with the realization of the project, pollution of 2,500,000 m³ of water will be prevented. Thanks to this project, the damage to the systems of these wastes, which are charged to the treatment systems of the municipalities, will be reduced, and the sewer lines will have a longer life.

Positive Effect of Biodiesel on the Atmosphere

Thanks to its 50,000 tons of biodiesel production capacity, it will contribute to the reduction of CO2 and CO emissions, which have a negative effect on air pollution as a result of the use of fossil fuels. The main source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is fossil fuels. The raw material of biodiesel is plant. Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. As a result of the combustion of biodiesel obtained from plants, carbon dioxide is formed again. The most important advantage of biodiesel is that it neutralizes carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Thus, carbon dioxide recycling takes place in the atmosphere.
