Reactor Design for Biodiesel Production – Training Services

Reactor Design for Biodiesel Production – Training Services focuses on the engineering principles, kinetics, and process design for biodiesel production through transesterification of oils and fats. This training covers homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, reaction mechanisms, and the impact of feedstock properties on conversion and yield. Participants learn to design batch and continuous reactors (CSTR, PFR), model transesterification kinetics, and optimize reaction parameters such as alcohol-to-oil ratio, temperature, and catalyst concentration. The course includes simulation of biodiesel production processes using tools like ASPEN Plus, along with case studies addressing scale-up, glycerol separation, and sustainability metrics.
