Oil Collection

Welcome to BIONEER
Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and fats. It is a replacement or substitute for petroleum based diesel. It produces less pollution and green house gasses. It displays high lubricity properties with low sulphur content. It biodegrades readily in the environment and is non toxic.

Going GREEN
Going green is a reality - Inconvenient Truth (movie, it is everyone's responsibility and has even become a fashion. The definition of "going green" is: Taking responsibility for the environmental impact of one's products and waste from cradle to grave.

Restaurants in South Africa dispose of their cooking oil via a variety of oil collectors unaware of in which market it is sold. The oil can be sold in the following illegal markets:

ILLEGAL MARKET: Biodiesel
There any many small biodiesel plants which produce biodiesel illegally. The law states that all biodiesel producers should register with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) an any entity that produces more that 300 000 litres per annum biodiesel and/or is selling it, should pat the tax of R1,05. Some producers do not produce quality biodiesel due to the simplicity of their technology and the fact it is not economically viable for them to test their Biodiesel.

Selling sub-standard biodiesel can cause engine damage and void engine warrantee. They do not perform Environment Impact Studies an their plants which use water to clean the biodiesel. The contaminate water is then washed down the drain which contains high levels of sodium and soaps which are detrimental for the environment. They sell their sub-standard biodiesel at discounted prices which gives biodiesel a bad name in South Africa.

ILLEGAL MARKET: Cooking Oil
The virgin vegetable oil price has climbed shapely in the last year and it is financially very profitable to blend small quantities of "cleaned" used cooking oil with virgin oils.

The "cleaning" process involves caustic stripping to get rid of the FFA's (free fatty acids) an a water wash process leaving the carcinogenic compounds in the oil, which is a serious health risk.

100% used cooking oil is sold in townships and is even sold as "used cooking oil". Selling used cooking oil for human consumptions is highly illegal in South Africa but not controlled or policed at the moment.

Bioneer has launched an oil collection campaign and will collect the oil from your restaurant and with the following guarantees:

BIONEER will collect used oil with 100% traceability and produce SABS specified biodiesel.

Collections will be done on a regular basis so suit our clients needs.

The client has a quota option to purchase 1 litre of biodiesel for every one litre of used oil supplied to BIONEER.

Payment for used oil will be paid monthly directly into the owners account to reduce theft and ensure that the client receives the full value of the used oil.

BIONEER will do free testing on the oil to determine if it is over or under used, there by providing a quality control method for the client.

BIONEER will supply the client with a 3rd party certificate from our auditors indicating that the oil is only used for biodiesel.

All company vehicles will run 100% on biodiesel which will minimize the carbon foot print of the collection process.

BIONEER is introducing a BEE owner driver concept on our collections.
