MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521037111 A) filed by Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, on April 17, 2025, for 'a catalyst free glycerolysis process for biodiesel production from acid oil using a novel high-speed homogenizer.'
Inventor(s) include Nainil Patel; Vandan Shah; Mr. Nirav Prajapati; Prof. Surendra Singh Kachhwaha; Dr. Pravin Kodgire; Dr. Parth Prajapati; and Dr. Bhasuru Abhinaya Srinivas.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The titled invention discloses a catalyst free glycerolysis process for biodiesel production from acid oil using a novel high-speed homogenizer. Acid oil, a byproduct of edible oil refineries, is abundantly available in India and presents a promising feedstock for biodiesel production. This study introduces a novel method for biodiesel production from acid oil using a high-speed homogenizer. The process involves catalyst free glycerolysis and transesterification process, achieving a maximum biodiesel yield of over 85%. The proposed method is highly time-efficient, cost-effective, and energy-efficient, making it a sustainable alternative to conventional approaches. Furthermore, the process is scalable for industrial applications, offering a viable solution for large-scale biodiesel production."
