What kind of thermal fluid should you use for your reactor
Ammonia, glycerol, ethylene glycol, etc., may be used as alternate coolants or heat transfer fluids. Never use ammonia alternatively with steam or hot water. Some coolants may decompose to acid component when exposed to heat/steam, leading to corrosion of both the vessel and jacket steel. This type of attack could potentially cause a glass
In this paper, two alternative designs of a batch reactor were evaluated: jacketed and coiled reactors ( Fig. 1), which differ in the way heat is provided to the system. The heat transfer
Jacketed Reactor Heating & Cooling, Sigma Thermal
In reactors, heating and cooling jackets are used to remove heat from exothermic reactions or provide the needed heat required to produce the desired endothermic reactions. Steam jackets that operate at high pressures can pose safety issues, especially when hazardous chemicals are being used within the reactor. In contrast, thermal fluid
Indirect heating of fluids is covered in this tutorial including layouts, control and drainage of coils and jackets, and heat transfer calculations. Vessels can be heated in a number of different ways. This module will deal with indirect heating. In these systems, the heat is transferred across a heat transfer surface.
Heat Transfer in Glass-Lined Double-Jacketed and Half-Coil
When heating by means of steam at a temperature of 160°C the results are similar. The heat transfer coefficient in the half-coil jacketed vessel is 453 W/(m2 K), compared to 456 W/(m2 K) in the double-jacketed vessel. Mathematically, the heating time for both vessel types is identical, so practically there is no difference.
A promising liquid substrate substantially used for commercial production of biogas is palm oil mill effluents (POME) which are released from crude palm oil extraction plants. The palm oil extraction process usually generates a large amount of POME, approximately 0.5–0.79 m 3 /ton of fresh fruit bunches [3].
Zampalm pioneers Zambia’s first palm oil plantation
At current prices the average production of crude oil of 3 to 3.5 tonnes per hectare could generate more than US$170 million in revenue over the next decade. The market for edible oils in Zambia, of which palm oil is one component, is estimated at 120,000 tonnes per year, and this is expected to continue growing as the country develops further.
The results showed that the highest conversion of palm oil to biodiesel in the reactor was found at 70 °C utilizing 157.04 g of catalyst per unit volume of the reactor and a cross-flow circulation velocity of 0.21 cm/s. The biodiesel product obtained was compared with standard specifications based on the physical and chemical properties.
Design and testing of continuous acid-catalyzed
Leevijit et al. [12] designed and tested a continuous reactor for the transesterification of refined palm oil using a 6:1 M ratio of methanol to refined palm oil, 1 wt.% sodium hydroxide and a temperature of 60 °C. The reactor used was an in-series 6-CSTR unit that was capable of converting refined palm oil to 97.5–99.2 wt.% methyl ester.
It was found that the biomass conversion is about 35.5% to yield bio-oil, however this conversion is still minor. It is suggested due to the heating system inside the reactor was not enough to decompose the palm fronds as a feedstock. Moreover, the acids compounds ware mostly observed on the bio-oil product.
