  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO PRODUCE BIODIESEL FUEL
    Publication number: 20140082995
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a biodiesel fuel that comprises mixing a co-solvent, a first reactant and a second reactant together in a mixing chamber to form a homogeneous solution. The first reactant and the second reactant are substantially immiscible with each other in the absence of the co-solvent. The first reactant is one of an alcohol or an oil, and the second reactant is the other of the oil or the alcohol. Method also comprises transferring the homogeneous solution into a transesterification reaction vessel.

  • Methods and systems to produce biodiesel fuel
    Patent number: 8420841
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a biodiesel fuel that comprises generating micro-droplets of a first reactant and mixing the micro-droplets of the first reactant with a second reactant that is substantially immiscible with the first reactant. The method also comprises transferring the mixture of the first reactant and second reactant into a transesterification reaction vessel. The first reactant is one of an alcohol or oil, and the second reactant is the other of the oil or the alcohol.
