Biodiesel industry
Energy operations refining, biodiesel, and power generation require reliability, safety, and sustainability. Centura22 provides a unified IT/OT/AI platform connecting plant data for real-time decision-making.
Centura22 connects process, feedstock, maintenance and laboratory data, so a plant can switch feedstock without switching to guesswork. Tallow, used cooking oil and virgin feeds are characterized before pretreatment. Process response is visible during the run, not after it. Every gallon claimed carries the records that support the claim.
Two burdens run in parallel here: the physical risk of a major accident, and the documentary integrity of the credits the business depends on. US Chemical Safety Board data shows reportable chemical accidents rising from 83 in 2021 to 133 in 2025.
Both come down to the same duty - demonstrate it. That the isolation on a vessel entry was authorized and confirmed. That a mechanical integrity inspection was completed on schedule and acted on. That the operator responding to an upset had trained for it.
Biodiesel production introduces challenges such as feedstock variability, quality control, and sustainability requirements.
