APInnovations 1012 E. 22nd Stuttgart, AR 72160 870-673-3030 www.apinnovations.com With our engineering teams expertise, there is no substitute for APInnovations when it comes to world class biofuels processing techniques. From biodiesel to ethanol, APInnovations is ready to assist you with anything you need from engineering, to equipment supply, to full turn key projects with your satisfaction guaranteed. When you consider the purchase of a biodiesel plant, here are four questions you should ask 1. How many plants has your company actually built and can we tour one of them? (There are several companies with seemingly good ideas, but they have never built a plant! We have designed and installed thirteen in the US alone!) 2. Does your company actually do the building of the plant, or do you simply sell them? (We design, build, install, and commission all our plants! And we train your employees!) 3. Is your company capable of being bonded for the project? (Companies that only sell plants will not be able to secure a bond. Only the company that builds will be bondable. How is your money protected?) 4. Will your company be able to provide the balance of plant services or do you simply sell the biodiesel processor? (We provide full service. Many companies simply sell the processor or at best, subcontract the balance of plant. We do our own work!) Other facts about APInnovations… · Owned and operated by two industry recognized engineers with over 60 years of experience, the …

>>Find out how I started making my own biodiesel without spending hardly anything <<
Biodiesel equipment is used for manufacturing biodiesel in an exceedingly efficient and economical manner. There are several manufacturers of biodiesel equipment throughout the world.
Biodiesel is also called as biofuel and fatty acid methyl ester. It is an alternative diesel fuel produced from vegetable oils, animal fats and recycled cooking oils. Biodiesel is cleaner to burn as compared with fossil diesel oil. It does not require any modifications in a diesel engine.
Modern biodiesel equipment are designed and manufactured to outdo the traditional methods.
The equipment is available to meet the demand starting from the entry-level used by farmers and small businesses to the medium and large-scale producers. The capacities range from 20 – 240 million liters per year.
Good equipment will comply with all international ASTM, EN 14214 standards for biodiesel equipment.
Most of the production of biodiesel is done with a catalytic process that uses these steps:
Mixing of alcohol and catalyst: Generally sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is used as a catalyst and it is mixed in the alcohol with an agitator.The mixture is then loaded into a reactor and oil is put into it. The plant is completely closed to prevent any loss of alcohol into the atmosphere. The temperature is around 160 degrees F and it speeds ups the reaction. Normally, it takes from 1 to 8 hours to complete. Excess amount of alcohol helps full conversion of the oil fat.
Separation: The catalytic reaction produces two main products that are glycerin and biodiesel. Both of them contain significant quantity of the surplus alcohol used in the catalytic reactor. It is sometimes neutralized, if required. The glycerin part is much heavier as compared to biodiesel portion. These parts are separated by gravitational method. Glycerin settles down and is removed. A centrifuge may also be used to separate them faster.
Alcohol Removal. After separation of glycerin, the extra alcohol is removed by flash evaporation or distillation. In some systems, first, the alcohol removed and then the moisture is neutralized. Next, the esters and glycerin are separated. The methanol is recovered and can be re-used.
Glycerin Neutralization. The glycerin contains un-utilized catalyst that is neutralized using an acid. The glycerin can be also distilled to get 99% purity.
Methyl Ester Wash: After removing glycerin, biodiesel is purified by washing with warm water. It removes residual catalyst. Then it is dried and stored. You get a yellowish bio-diesel. Some biodiesel equipment use distillation process to get a colorless biodiesel.
The biodiesel equipment comprises of the following systems: steam oil heater unit, biodiesel catalyst reactor, separation and output unit, methanol recovery unit and a purification and filtration unit.
The pre filtered oil is sent to a stream oil heater to heat to its requisite level. Hot oil is then passed to the biodiesel catalytic reactor. Potassium hydroxide alkali solution and alcohol also sent to the reactor. With hydrodynamic mixing of the oil, alcohol and catalyst solution, a mixture of biodiesel, glycerin and un-reacted methyl alcohol is obtained.
The biodiesel in its crude form is moved to settling tanks to separate glycerin and water. The biodiesel with alcohol is sent methanol recovery unit.
Final part of the biodiesel equipment provides for cleaning of the biodiesel in the filtration and purification unit. Residual methanol is removed when the biodiesel passes through its resin exchange columns. The solids in biodiesel are separated by filtration. The biodiesel equipment finally delivers you pure biodiesel that is ready to use.
