Why Choose Us
First Commercial B100 Bio-diesel Plant.
We are pioneering the production of Biodiesel from used cooking oils, among other sustainable sources. We are proud to state that this is the first and only commercial B100 Bio-diesel plant in East-Africa.
State of the art Refinery.
We also have one of the few oil refineries properly equipped to refine both Palm and soft oils with the help of our in-house degumming facility.
We offer Toll Processing.
Toll processing, also known as contract manufacturing, is a business arrangement in which a company outsources the production of their products to a third-party manufacturer.
24/7 Production.
Our manufacturing plants are capable of running 24/7 to ensure a continuous and endless supply of our cooking oils, fats and laundry soap.
Benefits of Bio-diesel
Bio-degradable and safe for the environment.
Bio-diesel is a "natural fuel". It is bio-degradable and non-toxic. Bio-diesel is said to break down 4 to 5 times faster than mineral diesel, which means it has a minimal environmental impact.
Safety.
Biodiesel is non-flamable, non-explosive, with a flash point of 150 degrees celcius as compared to 64 degrees celcius for petroleum diesel.
Meets and exceeds emission Standards.
Did you know that the bio-diesel molecule contains more than 10% oxygen. This oxygen allows for better combustion and thereby produces less soot. Biodiesel is naturally almost free of sulphur (maximum 0.001%)
For a healthy engine.
Bio-diesel significantly reduces engine wear due to its superior lubricity. Due to this added lubricity, it can be used as an additive to petroleum diesel. Biodiesel also ignites more rapidly than petroleum diesel, resulting in a higher power output due to its higher cetane rating as compared to petroleum diesel.
Closed carbon cycle
Carbon monoxide emissions from burning bio-diesel are reduced by almost 50% and carbon dioxide by 75% since the carbon present in biodiesel emissions is recycled carbon that was already present in the atmosphere.
Can be used with petroleum diesel.
Bio-diesel has a very similar chemical structure to that of petroleum diesel. This means it can be blended in any ratio with petroleum diesel. The mixture will remain stable and cannot be separated using any mechanical means.
Toll Processing
Cost savings
Toll processing can be a cost-effective option for companies that need to produce goods but do not have the necessary equipment or expertise to do so. The company can avoid the additional expenses associated with buying, maintaining equipment and training employees or hiring expensive skilled labour.
Increased flexibility
Toll processing allows companies to be more flexible in their production processes. They can easily adjust production volumes depending on market demand without worrying about the additional costs or strain on production (Increased Labour/additional man-hours/plant efficiency or durability).
Access to specialized equipment and expertise
Toll processors like Giloil have specialized equipment and expertise that the outsourcing company may not have access to. This can be advantageous for companies that require specific or unique production processes without having to compromise on the quality of their product.
Prioritizing sales & marketing.
Using a toll processor can significantly reduce the time it takes to bring a product to market. The toll processor can take care of the production process, allowing the company to focus on marketing, sales, and other business activities.
Reduced risk
Outsourcing production to a toll processor can help reduce the company's risk. The toll processor is solely responsible for managing, maintaining equipment and any other issues that may arise during the production process.
