- the term“biodiesel” refers to a vegetable oil or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl esters.
- the term“feedstock” refers to the starting material from which the biodiesel is produced. In some embodiments, the feedstock comprises 65% free fatty acids (FFA) and 30% glycerol.
- the term“olein” refers to residual fatty acids. In some embodiments, glycerol purification produces a byproduct comprising oleins.
- the term“bioreactor” or“flash drying chamber” refers to a vessel that carries out a reaction.
- bioreactor or flash drying chamber is capable of applying increased heat and reduced pressure to the mixture.
- Example 1 Enzymatic Conversion of Biodiesel
- Feedstock which is 65% free fatty acids (FFA) and 30% triglyceride (the balance is made up of unsaps/impurities) is mixed with biodiesel and maximum 10% ethanol to reduce melting point down to 39 o C. If the melting point of feedstock is in any case 39 o C or less, the feedstock does not need any pretreatment.
- the feedstock with 0.3% enzyme is fed into the reactor. The reaction requires 11% methanol dosing which is pumped into the reactor 4 hours from the start of the reaction. The reactants inside the reactor are under constant agitation. An additional 15% methanol is then added to the reactor at the rate of 1% per hour.
- the homogenous solution inside the reactor is tested for ester, FFA, and triglycerides. Once the FFA is down to 3%, NaOH solution (10% concentration) is added to the reactor. Once the FFA is down to 0.3%, the reaction is stopped and the entire feedstock is transferred to an intermediate tank. [0046] From the intermediate tank, the feedstock is fed into the A4 reactor in the biodiesel plant. A4 is a flash drying chamber which recovers the excess 15% methanol. The temperature is 65 o C and the vacuum is 700.
- the reaction is then sent to the S1 tank which is a settlement tank where the light phase consisting of all the biodiesel and some small quantity of methanol and moisture is separated from the heavy phase consisting of soap, glycerol, and water is separated.
- the lighter phase goes to the centrifuge for clean- up and the heavy phase goes to S2 for splitting soap to FFA and salts.
- FFA floats to the top and is skimmed.
- the bottom phase is crude glycerol which is then refined.
- the cleaned from the centrifuge is then either stored as biodiesel, or sent to the distillation column for distillation.
- the biodiesel thus produced has an ester content of 96.5%.
