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. Read more...
