Biodiesel Purification – Final Part 5

09/20/2018 By R.C. Costello

Overview In this fifth and final installation on biodiesel production we will cover biodiesel purification. Biodiesel Purification by Distillation There are two distinct process for biodiesel purification. One is removal of methanol by distillation and the other is removal of glycerin and the sodium methylate catalyst by ion exchange. The crude biodiesel product is preheated … [Read more...]

Esterification – Biodiesel Part 3

08/23/2018 By R.C. Costello

Overview Feedstocks with high Free Fatty Acids cannot go directly to transesterification;  first you must go through the esterification process. This is because the transesterification catalyst sodium methylolate reacts with the free fatty acids and forms soap.  Instead, esterification of the free fatty acids is accomplished in two catalyst beds in series, with solid … [Read more...]

Flashbacks From Thermal Oxidizers and How Redesign Prevents Them

07/09/2018 By R.C. Costello

Introduction Flashbacks from Thermal Oxidizers cost the Chemical Process Industries millions of dollars in equipment damage and plant down time. Why does this happen? Is it the manufacturers of the thermal oxidizers fault?  It is normally not the manufacturers fault.  The thermal oxidizers operating manual normally says that the client must follow NFPA guidelines. NFPA … [Read more...]
