Packed bed reactor for continuous biodiesel production process

用可再生能源大量替代液态化石燃料的少数几个不利因素之一是通过生物柴油。该项目旨在开发一种以牛油为原料生产生物柴油的连续工艺，包括饲料准备、反应和产品离开反应器的分离过程。一个关键的要求是开发一种用于化学转化的多相催化剂，使其能够使用填充床反应器进行转化步骤。该工艺提供了使用劣质和湿饲料原料的潜力，比现有工艺具有更高的效率和产品质量

One of the few oppoutunities for significant substitution of liquid fossil fuels by renewable energy resources is through biodiesel. This project seeks to develop a continuous process for biodiesel production from beef tallow, including feed preparation, reaction and the separation processes of the product exiting the reator. A key reqirement is to develop a heterogeneous catalyst for the chemical conversion, enabling the use of a packed bed reactor for the conversion step. The process offers the potential to use poor quality and wet feed materials with much higher efficency and product quality than existing processes
