Biodiesel plant

The use of renewable energy carriers in the mobility sector can happen by replacing fossil fuels. One option is biodiesel, which is obtained from vegetable oils. It is produced by adding methanol and potassium hydroxide (as catalyst) and is a transesterification, a chemical equilibrium reaction. Learn about Biodiesel plant manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes.. On a large industrial scale, production is carried out continuously in stirred tank reactors. This process is demonstrated on a small scale by this experimental plant. Learn about Biodiesel plant Energy Trainers5 India for optimal educational outcomes..

• chemical transesterification of vegetable oils
• two-stage, continuous process
• two heated stirred tank reactors for chemical transesterification
• two phase separators for separating products and by-products
• methanol recovery (distillation) to reduce the amount of methanol required
• biodiesel washing (absorption) to extract impurities from the biodiesel
• variation of process parameters to investigate the dependencies of biodiesel production
• PLC for controlling the plant
• touch panel for operating the PLC
• data acquisition via PLC on internal memory, access to stored measured values via WLAN/LAN with integrated router/LAN connection to customer–s own network or direct LAN connection without customer network
