Analysis: Bio-diesel Esterification Reactor Design

 

 

Biodiesel fuel production processes

development has been receiving consumer-level attention as well as

larger scale community level and corporate level attention. A direct

map of the process implementation in correspondence with the various

steps of the experimental procedures, had a CSTR as the designated

Esterification Reactor. The design, however, of the reactor is not so

simple. The design is rather complicated by the almost instantaneous

separation of the glycerine from the bio-diesel fuel or solution of

bio-diesel and soap depending on whether the vegetable oil contained

free fatty acids. The design rationale of the reactor as such must

necessarily factor all this into the design-product.
