Well we in north east of Brasil.
A lot of castor oil is produces here and other place , but the e
first time we hear the odour problems which can be esily solved
You can solve the problem using different hot and cold
extraction process which are under development very seriously in
Brasil
As we are in Brasil we can surley join with Irwin in the
biofilter design as we do have posgraduate programme In Chemical
engineering dept UFRN, Natal to do the same.
The price of the castor oil sold for the petro chemical
companies are very high compared to heating.
It is better you find a alternate energy such as used vegetabale
oil and make Biofuel for Motor .
As we are in Brazil we can jointly work to solve our problem .
