A method of manufacturing a purified renewable diesel product from a biofeedstock includes filtering the biofeedstock, heating the biofeedstock to about 520° F., introducing hydrogen into the biofeedstock, and treating the biofeedstock in a reactor to generate a renewable diesel product. Additionally, the method includes cooling the renewable diesel product wherein the renewable diesel product comprises a liquid, separating vapors from the liquid, and distilling the liquid in a distillation column to generate the purified renewable diesel product. In at least one embodiment the biofeedstock comprises at least one of waste grease, tallow, algae, algal oil, vegetable oil, and soybean oil.
