METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REFINING BIODIESEL

IP Title

Issued patent

Summary

Patents incorporate a controlled, closed air-induction cavitation blending process that works in concert with standard heating and agitation to substantially accelerate and more efficiently blend and mix the oil and alcohol/base catalyst solutions (transesterification) used in biodiesel fuel production. Cavitation induction aids in recovery and reuse of excess alcohol as well as lowering temperatures and pressures needed, making reaction more energy efficient and safer for operators.
