Biodiesel production

All biofuels are made from………….

• Corn

• Animal fat

• Biological ingredient

• Plant

Where did the feedstock are kept?

• Storage tank

• Yard

• Control room

• Store

Function of pre-treatment:

• Remove impurities and water of the raw material

• Smooth the process

• Safety consideration

• Reduce the cost of processing

Transesterification is:

• Methanol + catalyst

• Feedstock + catalyst

• Feedstock+methanol+catalyst

• Feedstock+glycerin+methyl oxide

Function of catalyst:

• Increase the time taken of the process

• Speed up the reaction

• Increase the activation energy

• Involve in the reaction

What is  a byproduct of producing biodiesel?

• Salt

• Glycerin

• Methanol

• Polymer

Waste from biodiesel production?

• Gas

• Water

• Oil

Purification of biodiesel is carried out in………….

• Distillation column

• Ion exchanger

• Centrifuge

• Reactor

What is the function of control room?

• Provide suitable environment for the whole process

• Monitor the equipment

• Control, monitor the process and ensure safety

• Control the operation

Function of distillation column?

• Separate light and heavy component

• Produce byproduct

• Boil the reaction

• Heat the process
