Abstract in brief

  • The study developed a continuous feeding system for converting waste animal fat into biodegradable plastics (PHAs), addressing the challenge of WAF's solid nature by thermally liquefying it for easier processing.
  • Laboratory experiments with Ralstonia eutropha showed significant improvements, including 70% more PHA production and higher productivity compared to previous methods using solid WAF, with real-time monitoring ensuring efficiency.
  • The process was successfully scaled up to a 150L pilot plant, achieving promising results (3.15 g/L), demonstrating potential for industrial-scale production of environmentally friendly plastics from waste animal fat.]
