Process Technologies for Bio Diesel
In embodiments of the current invention, systems for manufacturing a biodiesel product from multiple feedstocks might embrace a biodiesel reactor, a decanter, a flash evaporator and a distillation column. In alternative embodiments of the current invention, a method for manufacturing a biodiesel includes distilling a biodiesel reaction product to get rid of tocopherols and alcohol glycosides and, optionally, adding biodiesel stabilizers to the resultant biodiesel to reinforce thermal stability. The elements of the system are interconnected in order that parameters could also be regulated to permit production of a custom biodiesel product.
