This biofuel<\/b> can be used either alone (known in this case as B100 biodiesel<\/b>) or mixed in any proportion with conventional diesel hydrocarbon<\/b> derived from gasoline. In this case, it will be labeled according to its biodiesel content; that is, B20 for 20% biodiesel content, B25 for 25% content, etc.<\/p>\n

Today’s society is increasingly aware of the environment and sustainable production. In this scenario, the importance of biodiesel production<\/b> is evident in the Industrial sector.<\/p>\n
Thus, biodiesel<\/b> is considered, along with ethanol<\/b> and biogas<\/b> (methanol<\/b>), one of the most important biofuels. <\/b>Its production is carried out through the use of renewable resources.<\/strong> This factor is of utmost importance in ensuring the supply of energy<\/b> in the future, promoting the reduction of CO2 emissions and environmental pollution.<\/p>\n This liquid biofuel<\/b> is produced by chemical reactions of transesterification <\/b>and esterification<\/b>. These chemical reactions are triggered by fats<\/b> and oils<\/b> (pure or recycled) that react with short-chain alcohols<\/b>, such as methanol<\/b> or ethanol<\/b>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n Throughout this reaction, the main step of which takes place in a reactor<\/b>, other products and by-products are processed or generated. These can include glycerol<\/b> (useful in the cosmetics industry), soaps, or wastewater<\/b>. The right <\/b>thermal design<\/b><\/a> is a fundamental factor in the manufacturing of this process equipment<\/b>. Our tubular exchangers<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>condensers, evaporators<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>distillation columns<\/b><\/a>, and pressure vessels<\/b><\/a> are commonly used in processes<\/b> for the production of biodiesel<\/b>.<\/p>\n SACOME has more than 100 references in applications for biodiesel production with the most important multinationals in this sector.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.63″ custom_padding=”"0px|0px|0px|0px"” prev_background_color=”#000000″ next_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”"initial"” background_position=”"top_left"” background_repeat=”"repeat"” custom_padding=”27px|0px|0px|0px”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_blurb _builder_version=”3.17.6″ url_new_window=”on” image=”https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Enlace-a-Caso-de-Estudio-Biodiesel.png” background_size=”contain” text_orientation=”justified” url=”https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/heat-exchangers-for-biodiesel-production\/” saved_tabs=”all” max_width_tablet=”50px”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n \nProcess equipment for biodiesel production<\/h2>\n
