Welcome to this presentation on Ultrasonic Biodiesel Production, a cutting-edge technology with global adoption since the early 2000s, revolutionizing biodiesel production. In this overview, we'll explore the advantages of ultrasonic mixing in biodiesel production.
Biodiesel is a renewable, environmentally friendly fuel sourced from materials like vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste cooking oils. It offers reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional diesel. The primary raw materials for biodiesel production are triglycerides found in oils or fats. Transesterification converts triglycerides into biodiesel and glycerol. Efficient mixing is crucial, ensuring thorough contact between reactants, promoting faster reactions, and improving product quality.
Ultrasonic mixing outperforms traditional methods like impellers or blade mixers in terms of speed and efficiency. For instance, it achieves over 90% conversion in just 5 minutes, compared to 80% in 2 hours with mechanical stirring. Ultrasonic mixing also results in smaller droplet sizes, enhancing mass transfer and reducing energy consumption. Ultrasonic mixing introduces sonochemical energy, speeding up the conversion of triglycerides into biodiesel. It breaks ester bonds efficiently, a bottleneck in the process, making the conversion much faster and more energy-efficient. Ultrasonic mixers work on the principle of acoustic cavitation, creating high-pressure and low-pressure regions in liquids, leading to bubble formation and collapse. This generates intense forces and heat, enhancing transesterification efficiency. Ultrasonic mixers are energy-efficient, reducing energy consumption during methanol recovery and biodiesel purification. They also require less methanol and catalyst, resulting in significant cost savings.
Ultrasonic biodiesel production reduces waste, uses fewer chemicals, and has a smaller carbon footprint, contributing to a greener, more sustainable future. Research shows that ultrasonic biodiesel production offers higher yields, faster reactions, lower costs, and better quality compared to conventional methods.
Switching to ultrasonic mixing is easy, even for existing producers. Ultrasonic mixers can be retrofitted into existing plants with minimal installation and maintenance requirements. The MultiPhaseCavitator (www.hielscher...., an innovative flow cell insert, further enhances ultrasonic biodiesel production by introducing the methanol/catalyst phase efficiently into the oil stream.
In conclusion, ultrasonic mixing in biodiesel production provides numerous advantages, from efficiency and quality improvements to cost savings and environmental benefits. This technology opens new possibilities for a sustainable and cleaner biodiesel industry.

great video! very interesting
@PDionneGosselin Glad you enjoyed it
Do we need a distillation system to get pure biodiesel.
@aravindg54, Yes, you will need a methanol recovery system (heat + vacuum) to separate excess methanol from the biodiesel. As ultrasonic transesterification reduces the excess methanol significantly, you will save a lot in the methanol recovery.

Due we required to purify b100 biodiesel or we will get crude biodiesel and need to subject for further distillation to get pure biodiesel b100 of astm and en standards .
@aravindg54 In producing biodiesel, Hielscher ultrasonic reactors effectively catalyze the transesterification process, enhancing reaction speed and yield. It will contain excess methanol - less than in conventional processing, though. Whether the output meets ASTM and EN standards for B100 biodiesel directly depends on the feedstock quality and the process specifics. Typically, the biodiesel will require further purification or distillation to remove impurities and ensure compliance with these standards. Ensuring the feedstock purity and optimizing the process parameters are crucial steps toward achieving high-quality biodiesel.

So i can make biodiesel in my sonic cleaner?
@Preyhawk81 A cleaner doesn’t have the intensity to emulsify the reactants or to activate the chemical reaction. Please contact us directly. We will be happy to discuss your project.
