ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Transesterification; and (2) Product separation</p><p>Transesterification. Soybean oil and methanol (fresh and recycled) are fed to a two-stage mixer/settler unit, where they react in the presence of alkaline catalysts forming Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) and glycerin. The glycerine and unreacted methanol form a heavy phase that separates from the light phase composed of biodiesel.</p><p>Product separation. The light phase is then washed with countercurrent water so that the methyl esters produced are separated from the glycerine dissolved in methanol and water, yielding high purity Biodiesel, which is dried before being sent to storage. The heavy phase and the aqueous solution from the wash column go through a distillation step to recover methanol and then an evaporator, to produce crude glycerine as by-product. The water separated in the evaporator is recycled to the wash column, creating a closed loop.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of Biodiesel production from soybean oil in the United States using a typical alkaline catalysis process. In this process, the triglycerides in the oil are reacted with methanol to make methyl esters. Crude glycerol is also generated as by-product.
