Transesterfication (Ultrasound)
Why ultrasound.
Biofuelson decided to combine Jet rector (green) and ultrasound for
even a better and faster mass transfer.Jet- rector for heat development
and intense mixing and ultrasound for the hydrodynamic forces,with
cavitation bubbles .These bubbles are very powerful when burst and
can burst with speeds up to 400km/hour.
The ultrasound at 20 to 40 KHz will formed cavitation bubbles in the
biodiesel mix.These hydrodynamic forces is very powerfull.The thousands
of tiny bubbles burst and the hydrodynamic forces lets to faster mass
transfer.The speed that the bubbles burst can be up to 400 km /hour
and these forces make mass transfer much faster.
Biofuelson is testing these powerful systems at this moment with 30%
less Koh and 25% less methanol and 30% less power or heat.This can
bring savings up to 30% on production costs,or up to 40 to 50 cents
/lit savings.On only a 100000 lit/month this is a saving of R40,000
to R50,000/month .
This is a combination of Jet Reactor (green)and ultrasound Here we
test a 1000 lit/hour on continuous mode.
The results will be compare with normal systems and final adjustments
will be maid for best results.
These systems can easy be incorporated in normal or old Biodiesel
systems.The footprint is small only a Jet Reactor and ultrasound.(Patent
pending)
These systems will also be able to convert batch systems into continuous
or semi continuous systems from 500 to 2000 lit /hour.
