  • Determination of the continuous process kinetic parameters for biodiesel production in a 12 tons industrial reactor.

  • Energy transfer evaluation with different heating fluids (water and epoxidized oil).

  • Analysis of temperature, molar ratio of reactants and proportion of catalyst in the biodiesel production transesterification reaction.

  • Evaluation of different diameters to determine the length in a continuous flow tubular reactor for the biodiesel production of 500 tons per month.
