The seed cake which exits the mechanical screw presses has a residual oil content of 6 to 7% and a moisture content of about 8%. It is very valuable as an organic fertilizer. Typical seed cake nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium (N-P-K) content analysis ranges from about 4-1-1 to 6-2-2 or higher.

KIMMINIC’s production process from seed planting to the production of standardized biodiesel and other commercial products entails six main operations:

1. Seeding and pruning of Jatropha trees through effective plantation management;
2. Harvesting and de-shelling of Jatropha fruit;
3. Mechanical pressing of Jatropha seeds;
4. Transesterification of Jatropha crude oil and production of biodiesel;
5. Power generation;
6. Pelletizing of Jatropha cake for fertilizer.
