Product Description
HydroDynamic Technology Inc., offers
new generation equipment for producing biodiesel- biodiesel
manufacturing plants which utilize hydrodynamic compounder technology. Biodiesel
is methyl (ethyl) ester, derived from vegetable oils in process of
esterification: methanol (ethanol) is added to vegetable oil in ratio
1:9 and processed together with small amount of base or acidic catalyst
in reactor (hydrodynamic mixer and compounding pump in our technology). See the drawing below for system
operation diagram.
Continuous
biodiesel production system, 4 (12,5) cubic meters per hour
The technologic process of our system is as follows. Vegetable oil from
the vessel 1 via mesh filter F1, flow heater PPМ
is fed to the hydrodynamic mixer СGD
with H1 pump.
Oil flow is controlled with the flowmeter P1. A pre-mixed solution of
the catalyzer in methanol is fed from vessel 3 to the vacuum chamber of
the hydrodynamic mixer through the BP regulator valve and the flowmeter
P2. The solution mixing is performed by the H2 pump. The solution is
taken from vessels 3 in turn. The first stage of the peretherification
reaction is performed in the hydrodynamic mixer.
The final stage of the reaction is performed in the compounder
pump HK. Intensive cavitation processes in the hydrodynamic mixer and
the compounder
pump lead to breakdown of fatty acid molecules, which significantly
increases reaction speed and improves quality of the fuel.
After the compounder pump, the mixture goes to the settling columns 4, where it
separates into biodiesel and water-glycerin mixture. The fuel is
discharged via FВО moisture separator filter by the pump H3.
The
system may optionally be fitted with control systems which allow either
manual or fully automated operation. The latter is more expensive, but
excludes probability of human error which could lower the quality of the
product. The
system must be placed in a heated place, except vessels 1 and 2

Continuous-Flow
HydroDynamic plants are available in various sizes from 4
cubic meter/hour to 12.5 cubic meter/hour (30 MMgy) capacity (larger
systems under development). Entire machine (4
cubic meter/hour ) installed in a 20 ft container,
ready to transport and operate, consumes any feedstock (vegetable oils, yellow
grease, fats, etc.) and is upgradeable because of modular structure.
Start up
costs are lower than those of any system available on the market, because our
systems are real turnkey solution.
Warranty period for equipment
is 12 months.
