Reactor design for biodiesel production from palm kernel oil process

In recent years, environmental pollution has become a serious problem, and demand for petroleum products is increasing due to industrial development and civilization. All countries are replacing petroleum products with bio products in order to achieve the climate change goal of zero pollution. Biodiesel made from organics such as vegetable oils can be an excellent alternative to reduce the need for petroleum, a renewable energy source. One such crop that can be used to produce biodiesel is oil palm, which is derived from palm kernel oil (PKO). In this study, we designed a reactor that transesterification PKO with methanol to obtain biodiesel and calculated important parameters such as volumetric flow rate, reaction time, reaction and real volumes of reactor.
