Abstract:This work focuses on developing a
dynamic model of a packed bed
column for biodiesel washing. Its development was motivated by increasing
problems in these columns when higher amounts of waste cooking oil
and other low-quality fatty materials are incorporated as raw materials.
This incorporation causes the formulations of raw oil to change significantly,
requiring process flexibility and adequate control systems to maintain
the product within strict quality standards and prevent operational
problems. A detaile… Show more
