Optimization of Bio-diesel Production process and the Machine

Abstract

During the past decade, energy crisis for petroleum products is a considerable factor for the sustainability. Hence the biodiesel production is a good alternative energy which is one of the most promising energy sources. Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil is one of the alternative process developments for the energy crisis which has better economic and environmental advantages through a continuous production. This causes an increase in viscosity and the formation of gels. In addition, the method for the removal of the catalyst after reaction is practically difficult and a large amount of wastewater is produced in order to separate and clean the products, which increases the overall cost of the process. As a result, in this research define effective way to produce biodiesel by optimizing the process, further control the temperature and methanol recovery.
