Glycerin Production PFD via Transesterification

The document is a process flow diagram for glycerin production using a transesterification process. Refined palm oil and methanol are mixed and heated with a base catalyst. The mixture then undergoes cooling and gravity separation to produce biodiesel and glycerin. The glycerin is further purified through heating, separation, and washing to remove any remaining methanol or catalyst.
