METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REFINING BIODIESEL
Issued patent
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.

Title: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REFINING BIODIESEL
Usefulness: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REFINING BIODIESEL
Summary: The invention is for manufacture of alkyl ester via transesterification from vegetable and/or animal oil consisting of triglycerides, free fatty acids, and water (claimed). Alkyl ester is used as diesel or biodiesel fuel.
Novelty: Manufacture of alkyl ester used as biodiesel fuel, via transesterification from oil, by combining with agitation within closed, recirculating transesterification flow system, preheated oil with alkyl alcohol and transesterification catalyst
