Systematic approach for synthesis of intensified biodiesel production processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biodiesel production is a very hot topic within research, politics and investments worldwide. To intensify production and improve decision making and production evaluation, a systematic approach to describe biodiesel production processes is needed. The paper presents a systematic approach for process synthesis of biodiesel production and illustrates the importance of the approach by an example of biodiesel production from waste animal fats. The process synthesis method uses a step-by-step approach to construct, improve or evaluate biodiesel production processes.
