SEMI-CONTINUOUS BIODIESEL PLANT FOR RURAL SECTOR
I have seen this technology in the CSIR Technofest 2010, showcased by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, at India International Trade Fair during November 14-27, 2010 New Delhi, India. I understand that "SEMI-CONTINUOUS BIODIESEL PLANT FOR RURAL SECTOR" was developed by Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Durgapur, India.
Semi-Continuous Biodiesel Plant has been designed, fabricated, installed and tested at MERADO. The plant having capacity of 600 litres / day is able to produce biodiesel from any edible and non edible vegetable oil irrespective of its FFA content (jatropha, karanja, neem, mahua, used cooking oil, hemp, soybean, palm, rice bran etc.). The plant has been designed based upon process timing and simulation so that all the components can work for the designated time and ultimately produces 600 litre of biodiesel per day (24 h working basis).
