    The document presents empirical equations developed for the falling film sulfonation of methyl esters derived from palm stearin in a continuous production scheme using a falling film reactor. The sulfonation of methyl esters occurs with moderate weathering in the sulfonate, though a temperature of around 180°C is recommended for starting the reaction. It requires a slow decomposition of intermediate products during digestion with high temperatures (150°C) that increases the content of active matter. The empirical equations relate the percentage of active matter to process variables like the flow of the methyl ester, SO3 concentration in the sulfonating stream, and SO3-methyl ester molar ratio. However, the experimental data from the reactors proved to
