Cold Weather. Clear Biodiesel. The Clear Solution.

The new ASTM D6751 Cold Soak Filtration test is leaving many biodiesel producers and consumers “out in the cold”. In response, Schroeder Biofuels is proud to present ColdClearTM, a new proprietary multi-stage separation technology designed specifically to ensure that biodiesel products conform to this ASTM standard for cold flow properties. The ColdClearTM system consists of a three-stage bank of housings using a combination of filtration and adsorption principles to capture compounds that could cause plugging or crystallization in biodiesel fluids. Notably, ColdClearTM is the premiere multi-stage treatment system for solving the cold soak filtration dilemma in B100 biodiesel and biodiesel blends in a single pass while resulting in a negligible yield loss.
ColdClearTM is a three stage system with all housings mounted in series on a single skid
• The first stage serves as a pre-filter and captures solid particulates down to three microns using high efficiency Excellement® cartridges
• Stages 2 and 3 utilize cartridges that combine adsorption technologies with the proven effectiveness of Schroeder’s high efficiency Excellement® synthetic media
• The standard ColdClearTM system is equipped with 1” NPT or SAE flange ports and is designed to handle a maximum flow of 5 gpm for an estimated 15,000 gallons
• Multiple units can be employed to meet higher flow requirements
• The ColdClearTM system can be easily integrated into existing plant piping environments
• If multiple units are required, Schroeder Biofuels offers a range of flow & system monitoring options to ensure proper operation
• The essence of the ColdClearTM technology is the removal of crystallization precursors from the biodiesel or biodiesel blends. Therefore knowing the exact flow rate of your system is essential for the ColdClearTM system to be properly sized and configured for a specific application.

Typical Applications
• In-plant treatment of biodiesel (B100) prior to conform to ASTM standards prior to blending or shipment
• In-plant treatment of biodiesel blends (ex. B5, B10, etc) to ensure blended biodiesel meets or exceeds cold flow specifications
• For use in diesel fuel storage and distribution systems where B100 or biodiesel blends are stored and distributed to ensure shipped blends conform to ASTM specifications
• Large fleet terminals that have on-site diesel (and biodiesel blend) storage to ensure tight adherence to cold flow standards
• Pre-treatment of fats and oils prior to processing
