Description 

MATERIAL:

Bovine animal fats with methanol and catalysts to form biodiesel via esterification and tranesterication.

PROBLEM:

Reactants are immiscible, available surface area contact is minimized.

RESULTS:

Intense high shear mixing under cavitational conditions shears methanol phase into tiny droplets ranging 1 to 2 microns - surface area is vastly increased and reaction yields are maximized.

AB MIXER:

Model 1010.05 with 5 HP motor for pilot plant usage.

Model 1020.05 with 30 HP motor for 8 million gal/year.
Model 1048 with 100 HP motors for 50 million gal/year.
   
BENEFITS Slow batch reactors eliminated.  Reaction yield maximized, side reactions minimized.  Reaction control increased.
