Transesterification Process



IKA Plants & Turnkey Systems

Highly sophisticated designs , using IKA dispersing and mixing equipment.

IKA - Process has been renowned the world over for many years as a

manufacture of high-shear mixing and dispersing machines.

IKA – Engineering provides the capability to design and fabricate complete

turnkey systems incorporating the IKA High-Shear technology.

As a result, IKA plant programs are created to precess ion with engineering

expertise.



Batch Agitation vs. Batch High-Shear

Conventional batch agitation for the transesterification process takes between 2 – 4 hour

per batch to convert the feedstock, methanol, and catalyst to methyl ester and glycerin.Precise des igned batch high-shear m ixer (not batch shear-pump mixer) accelerates the

conventional batch mixing process down to 10 - 30 minutes depending of quality of refined

oil, temperature, pressure and amount of methanol.

For mixing tanks above 1000 Gal. a recirculation process with in-line mixer is

recommended ins tead of top-entry mixer. Multiple sets of rotor and stator combined in one

machine can adopt the process in max. two passes. High-shear mixers with up to tree

sets of rotor/stator and flow-rates up to 1,500 GPM are available. In addition, these mixers

can operate with tanks after tanks.

Batch Process vs. Inline Process

Continuous flow processing is favored by larger

facilities. Continuous flow facilities usual ly process

at high temperatures and with Ultra-Shear to

shorten the process ing time and ensure highest

quality. The equipment (e.g. biodiesel reactor,

inline - high s hear, centrifugal separators) for

continuous flow processing does not usually

require a lot of space, and it can be scaled-up to

provide increased capacity without taking a

corresponding increase of space.

Current manufacturing

status

The leading oil refining

manufactures have adopted

the more cost effective in-line

ultra shear process. The

same manufactures are

adopting this process within

the new in-line

transesterification process .

More and more Bio-diesel

producer realizing that theconventional batch agitation

process is to time consuming

and expensive.

Biodiesel Process Systems

KA® is a global company that manufactures in Wilmington, NC. IKA provides a complete

line of batch, in-line high-shear mixing process equipment, and biodiesel reactors for a

variety of applications in the Bio-Diesel, Ethanol and Petroleum-Oil industry, such as de-

gumm ing, neutralization, bleaching, transesterification, esterification, water washing, wet-



grinding of cellulose sol id, catalyst reactions, and fuel-blending

The comprehensive IKA program emphasizes on s cale up

from Laboratory to Processingplants, with applications for ultra-shear and high-shear

mixing, dispers ing, homogenizing, grinding, emuls ifying, and particle s ize reduction IKA
