Conclusions
• The control structure of this process can control purity of Biodiesel product greater than 99.65%wt. and glycerine by-product greater than 92%wt. (ASTM specifications)
• The control structure can control to achieve the control objective then change in load disturbance and change in feedstock before inlet reactor for transesterification.
