Method

The drop's journey — from the kitchen to energy.

Every liter of oil we collect follows a controlled path: from collection to lab treatment, until it becomes energy. Nothing goes back to the rivers.

The steps

Five steps, from disposal to the right destination.

1
Collection

From kitchen to drum

We collect used oil from homes, condos, schools, restaurants and businesses across Greater BH, in dedicated drums (30 and 50 liters).

Settling

Rest and draining

The collected oil goes through settling (24–48 h) and draining, separating water and heavier impurities from the usable oil.

Treatment

Filtering and lab control

The oil is filtered and treated, with lab quality control before moving on. Every batch is tracked.

Preserved water

The treated effluent

The water separated in the process is treated and properly disposed of, within environmental standards (PRECEND/COPASA). Nothing returns polluted to the rivers.

Energy

Biodiesel and SAF

The treated oil becomes clean feedstock: biodiesel that powers trucks and, now, SAF — sustainable aviation fuel. From drop to energy.

25,000

A single liter of oil down the drain can contaminate up to 25,000 liters of water. That is what the method prevents.
