Successful Production of Bio-diesel from Catfish Waste

Hiep Thanh Seafood Processing Corporation (HTFood) has successfully produced bio-diesel from catfish fat.

Waste catfish material such as intestine, bone and fat are all used in the process of converting catfish waste material into bio-diesel, reports TheSaigonTimes.

This bio-diesel is then being used to provide power for air generator system, freezing and heating of the plant.

This is part of a project set up by the Technology Research Centre of Finland's (VTT) Enerfish programme, funded by the European Commission, in order to make use of fish processing by-products, for the export and production of biodiesel.
