BHFTECH Biodiesel production Plant is the process of producing the biofuel,


biodiesel, through the chemical reactions of transesterification and
esterification. This involves vegetable or animal fats and oils being reacted with
short-chain alcohols (typically methanol or ethanol). The alcohols used should
be of low molecular weight. Ethanol is the most used because of its low cost,
however, greater conversions into biodiesel can be reached using methanol.
Although the transesterification reaction can be catalyzed by either acids or
bases, the base-catalyzed reaction is more common
Steps Involved in Preparation of Biodiesel Are
A Filtering and Cleaning
1. Pour the collected used oil in a barrel using a filter which has
minimum 200 Micron wire mesh

B. Deacidification
1. Transfer the filtered oil into the BHFTECH Reactor tank.
2. Heat it to a temperature of 55º C to 60º C, buy activating the heating system
3. Add Liquid Alkali ( for 1000 Liters of oil , add Naoh – 0.73 Kg and water 5 Kg. Use
hydrometer and check the concentration between 15-16 . )
4. Heat the alkali water to 60º C before mixing it with oil in the reactor.
5. Mix the solution . Once the oil solution reaches 60º C. Mix for 10 minutes, close the heater and
allow the mixture to precipitate for 1 to 2 hours.
6. Open the valve and remove the water and soap stock.
C. Degumming
1. Prepare salty water in proportion (1000 Liters of oil, add 100 Kg hot water and 5 kg salt)
2. Mix the solution . Turn of Heating. Once the oil solution reaches 80º C. Mix for 10 Minutes , close
the heater and allow the mixture to precipitate for 1 to 2 hours.
3. Open the valve and remove the water, gum and soap stock.
D. Bleaching or decolouring(Optional )
1. Start the vacuum pump. Turn on Heating. Once the oil solution reaches 110º C to 120º C. Add
Bleaching Earth Material in the ratio of 3 to 5% of the solution.
2. Mix for 10 Minutes. Cool down to 90º C and break the vacuum
3. Start Filtering Process in the filtration tank provided.
D. De-Odorization (Optional )
1. Start the vacuum pump. Turn on Heating. Once the oil solution reaches 210º C to 220º c at 4 hours
at vacuum condition. After 4 Hours break the vacuum and cool the oil to 90º C
2. Final Product is ready to use as oil
E Biodiesel Preperation
1. Mix above obtained oil with 20% of Methanol to get biodiesel to be used directly in the vehicle
