A summary of the available technologies for biodiesel production based on a comparison of different feedstock's properties

Biodiesel production is mainly done by carrying on the transesterification reaction while using refined oil, methanol and a homogeneous base catalyst. When using refined oil, a competition between oil for food and oil for fuel is then presented. Even more, the conventional technology has the disadvantage that the raw material has to be very pure, with no traces of other impurities. Otherwise, undesirable products will be produced decreasing the productivity of the process and making a large amount of waste treatment.Because of this, other technologies appear as possible sources for biodiesel production, mainly from refined oil, but also allowing less pure raw material to be used, such as waste oil, frying oil, soapstocks, and animal fats.In this work, a comparison of all these different raw materials, their physicochemical properties and how they can have an influence, and the magnitude of this phenomenon, in the biodiesel production will be presented and compared. Based on the previous analysis, a short summary of the technological possibilities to produce good quality biodiesel from low price raw material will be discussed with the aim of showing their advantages and disadvantages when using different feedstocks.     

Optimization of biodiesel production by alkali-catalyzed transesterification of used frying oil

Biodiesel as an alternative fuel for fossil diesel has many benefits such as reducing regulated air pollutants emissions, reducing greenhouse gases emissions, being renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic. In this study, used frying oil was applied as a low cost feedstock for biodiesel production by alkali-catalyzed transesterification. The design of experiments was performed using a double 5-level-4-factor central composite design coupled with response surface methodology in order to study the effect of factors on the yield of biodiesel and optimizing the reaction conditions. The factors studied were: reaction temperature, molar ratio of methanol to oil, catalyst concentration, reaction time and catalyst type (NaOH and KOH). A quadratic model was suggested for the prediction of the ester yield. The p-value for the model fell below 0.01 (F-value of 27.55). Also, the R² value of the model was 0.8831 which indicates the acceptable accuracy of the model. The optimum conditions were obtained as follows: reaction temperature of 65 °C, methanol to oil molar ratio of 9, NaOH concentration of 0.72% w/w, reaction time of 45 min and NaOH as the more effective catalyst. In these conditions the predicted and observed ester yields were 93.56% and 92.05%, respectively, which experimentally verified the accuracy of the model. The fuel properties of the biodiesel produced under optimum conditions, including density, kinetic viscosity, flash point, cloud and pour points were measured according to ASTM standard methods and found to be within specifications of EN 14214 and ASTM 6751 biodiesel standards.     

Integration of safety instrumented system with automated HAZOP analysis: An application for continuous biodiesel production

Integration of a human-machine interface (HMI) with hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis is proposed in this work. This concept can potentially lead to the identification of some unexpected deviations, and radically decreases the time necessary for hazard identification. A continuous biodiesel production was simulated. This can be divided into two cases, covering both conventional and reactive distillation. Soybean oil (trioleic, trilinoleic and tripalmitic) at 1000 kg/h as raw material is converted to 99 wt% pure biodiesel. The HMI was designed to improve these processes by combining automatic HAZOP analysis. With this approach, users can receive sufficient information from the simulation to analyze the optimum operation and safety. Severity levels are also provided to classify the actions in the process. Severity levels 1 and 2 are concerned with operating conditions, which are 58-64 °C, and 50-150 kPa. If the analysis shows severity level 3, the safety instrumented system (SIS) will automatically manage the operation in order to reduce/restrain the amount of damage at this level. This proposed system could minimize the damage and also improve the overall quality of the process.     

Improving the sustainability of the production of biodiesel from oilseed rape in the UK

Owing to concerns about energy security and because of increased environmental awareness, the biofuel industry is expanding worldwide. It is therefore extremely important to be able to quantify the sustainability of biofuels in order to determine their benefits over using conventional fossil fuel derived transport fuels. This study investigates the total energy requirement and global warming potential (GWP) of the production of biodiesel from oilseed rape in the UK, using life cycle analyses. Large- and small-scale productions are compared and the sensitivity of these environmental impacts to production variables investigated. Possible changes to the processes are considered, with a view to reduce the energy requirement and global warming potential.This research shows that the scale of the production of biodiesel from oilseed rape in the UK, and the transport involved in the various stages of manufacture, has little effect on its global warming potential. It is also shown that if the rape meal and glycerol were combusted in combined heat and power plants, and the rate of application of nitrogenous fertiliser were reduced from 211 kg/ha to 100 kg/ha, the energy requirement and global warming potential savings from using biodiesel rather than ultra low sulphur diesel would increase dramatically, to 170% and 120%, respectively, on a basis of equivalent net energy content.

A multi-criteria approach to screening alternatives for converting sewage sludge to biodiesel

The search for cheaper feedstock for use in the production of biofuels such as biodiesel has turned attention to various forms of waste products including animal fats, waste oils and now lipids in sludge. With the potential of obtaining sludge at a reduced cost, free, or possibly with incentives, sewage sludge is being investigated as a potential feedstock for biofuel production. For the extraction of oils from the sewage sludge and the subsequent processing, there are various alternatives that should be designed, analyzed, and screened. In developing and screening these alternatives, it is necessary to have a consistent basis for comparing alternatives based on key criteria. While most of the design studies focus on techno-economic criteria, it is also important to include safety metrics in the multi-criteria analysis. In this work, a detailed economic analysis and a safety evaluation are performed on a process involving extraction of triglycerides and fatty acids, pre-treatment of fatty acids (direct conversion to biodiesel), and transesterification of triglycerides to biodiesel. Four solvents, toluene, hexane, methanol and ethanol, are individually used in the extraction process. The resulting triglycerides and fatty acids from each extraction are modeled in the pre-treatment process. ASPEN Plus software is used to simulate the detailed process. Economic analysis is performed using ASPEN ICARUS, and scale-up of a previously analyzed process is used to estimate the cost of the biodiesel portion of the process. A new safety metric (referred to as the Safety Index “SI”) is introduced to enable comparison of the various solvent extraction processes. The SI is based on solvent criteria as well as process conditions. A case study is presented to demonstrate the insights and usefulness of the developed approach. The results of the techno-economic analysis reveal that of the four solvents used for the initial extraction, hexane and toluene were least costly (2.89 and 2.79 $/gal, respectively). Conversely, the safety analysis utilizing the SI reveals that methanol and ethanol are the safer solvent options. The issue of cost/safety tradeoffs is also discussed.     

热采井套损机理及套管强度优化设计

我国稠油资源丰富,然而稠油热采井套管损坏现象普遍存在,且有越来越严重的趋势,提高热采井套管寿命是稠油开采过程中迫切需要解决的问题。分析了热采井套管损坏主要原因,认为高温引起的强度变化、油层出砂亏空、固井质量差、隔热措施不利及套管本身材质问题都有可能引起热采井套管损坏。采用有限元分析软件ANSYS计算了不同隔热措施、不同注汽温度、不同注汽压力、不同套管材料及壁厚条件下套管应力分布规律。计算结果表明,为减少稠油热采井套管损坏,采用隔热措施较好的油管可以明显降低套管上的等效应力,同时在套管柱设计过程中应优选低弹性模量、厚壁套管。提出了VonMises等效应力对比高温屈服强度的校核新方法,为稠油热采井套管强度设计提供依据。

Optimization of novel pyrazolium ionic liquid catalysts for transesterification of bitter apple oil

In the present study, 4 different functionalized pyrazoliums based on sulfoalkyl-pyrazolium hydrogensulfate and alkylsulfo-alakylpyrazolium hydrogensulfate were explored to catalyze biodiesel production from bitter apple oil (BAO). The results demonstrated that a longer chains catalyst of 2-(4-sulfobutyl) pyrazolium hydrogensulfate (SBPHSO₄) exhibited the highest catalytic activity, which is attributed to its strong acidity. The highest yield of esters was up to 89.5% when the reaction was carried out under the conditions of 5.2 wt% of SBPHSO₄, molar ratio of methanol to BAO of 15:1, 170 °C, and 800 rpm for 6 h. These results demonstrated that ionic liquids offer a promising new type of pyrazolium catalyst for biodiesel production. The use of clean ionic liquids in preparing clean biodiesel could solve the drawbacks associated with using the old conventional catalysts and might be employed as an efficient catalyst for such relevance.
