What is Triolein Material Balance in Biodiesel Production about?

This document outlines the material balances for a process to produce methyl oleate via transesterification of triolein with methanol. Key points: 1) Triolein and methanol are reacted in a reactor at 98% conversion to produce methyl oleate, glycerol and small amounts of unreacted reactants. 2) The reactor products are separated and the methyl oleate and glycerol streams are further purified using distillation. 3) Mass balances are shown to be conserved at each step, with over 98% of methyl oleate recov
