Biodiesel Plant PDF

1. Lohrmann International provides standardized modular biodiesel plants with a capacity of 3600 tons per year. 2. The process takes place in a single tank and is fully automated and controlled by a PLC over 6-8 hours depending on input material quality. 3. The process involves heating the vegetable oil, adding methanol and a catalyst, separating out glycerin through settling, washing with water, distilling off water and methanol, and drawing off finished biodiesel.

Budgetary Proposal Standardized Modular BioDiesel Plant with a Capacity of 3600 tons p.a.
So far, it was only possible to cover the costs for transesterification of vegetable oils and natural fats to produce BioDiesel by production on a large industrial scale. Thanks to the intelligent design of the Lohrmann BioDiesel Plant, it has now become possible to eliminate cost-intensive parts without affecting from the quality of the produced fuel. Therefore decentralised plants with lower capacities of BioDiesel can for now be operated very profitably. Lohrmann International provides a standardized technology for the efficient and safe production of BioDiesel.

Esterification Plant (BioDiesel Container)


The whole process runs in a single tank and is completed after six to eight hours, depending on the quality of the input material. The plant technology is controlled automatically by means of a programmable logic controller (PLC). The process is visualised on a touchscreen monitor. The operator thus has the plant status in his sight at all times. Continuous data recording ensures the process control and reproducible process parameters, consequently minimising the labour and monitoring work. The process can also be telemonitored by means of a data teletransmission system.

1. A defined mass of vegetable oil (triglyceride) or fat is drawn into the central stainless steel process tank where it is heated. 2. Methanol and a catalyst are added to the heated product. The transesterification process can then start. 3. The glycerine formed settles compactly at the bottom of the tank and will be drawn off. 4. The raw biodiesel is washed with water in order to remove impurities. 5. The water settles at the bottom of the tank within a short period and is drawn off. 6. The process tank is heated for distillation, completely removing the water and methanol that have not settled in the tank under a vacuum. 7. The finished biodiesel is drawn off and pumped into the storage tank. The cycle can start again from the beginning.
