Funded Activity Summary
Packed bed reactor for continuous biodiesel production process. 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 processesFunded Activity Details
