Plant for the simulation of industrial processes of biodiesel production.

Brand Name: Biominas

Year: 2015

Model: DI006-U

Use:

The Industrial Process Simulation Plant is a small scale model of an Industrial Biodiesel Production Plant, which provides a reactive and processing system that simulates the conditions and characteristics existing in industrial processes of biodiesel production, allowing the study, knowledge and control of important process variables.

The didactic character and the possibility of simulation of industrial processes of biodiesel production are the main innovative parameters according to the state of the art worldwide, together with the versatility and flexibility in terms of the possibility of variation of all the process parameters, such as: vegetable oil, alcohol, catalyst, reaction time and temperature and distillation. In terms of innovation, the following stand out: the construction of transparent borosilicate-type glass tanks, which allows visual monitoring of all stages of the process; the use of stainless steel for the construction of other equipment and the use of polymer material resistant to biodiesel for the fences.

Another innovative feature is related to the small volume processed, of up to six liters per batch, which provides an economy in the consumption of reagents and inputs. In addition, the Industrial Process Simulation Plant can be easily transported and allocated in confined spaces.

It also uses a process of purification of the dry biodiesel, "Dry Wash", that occurs through ionic polymer resin, without generating residual washing water, problematic in the conventional processes of biodiesel production.
