Abstract

A comprehensive mathematical model for a continuous transesterification process has been built so as to enable prediction of the influence of different process and operational variables on productivity and by-product formation. The influence of temperatures and temperature profiles, of residence time and residence time distribution, and also of the number of reactors in series has been investigated. The modeling has been done as close to the industrial practice as possible. Important pragmatic implications from the point of view of operation of continuous transesterification are highlighted.
