ANNEX IV U.K. PROCESSING

CHAPTER IV U.K. ALTERNATIVE PROCESSING METHODS

Section 2 U.K. Processing standards

[F1 J. Multi-step catalytic process for the production of renewable fuels U.K.

1. Starting materials U.K.

(a) For this process, the following materials may be used: U.K.

(i)

rendered fats derived from Category 2 material, which have been processed using processing method 1 (pressure sterilisation);

(ii)

fish oil or rendered fats derived from Category 3 material, which have been processed using:

• any of the processing methods 1 to 5 or processing method 7; or

• in the case of material derived from fish oil, any of the processing methods 1 to 7;

(iii)

fish oil or rendered fat which have been produced in accordance with Sections VIII or XII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, respectively.

(b) The use of rendered fats derived from Category 1 material for this process shall be prohibited. U.K.

2. Processing method U.K.

(a) The rendered fat must be submitted to a pre-treatment which consists of: U.K.

(i)

the bleaching of the centrifuged materials by passing them through a clay filter;

(ii)

the removal of remaining insoluble impurities by filtration.

(b) The pre-treated materials must be submitted to a multi-step catalytic process which consists of a hydro-deoxygenisation step, followed by an isomerisation step. U.K.

The materials must be submitted to a pressure of at least 20 bars at a temperature of at least 250 °C for at least 20 minutes.]
