The Novel Continues Biodiesel Proses Using Ultrasonic Clamp on Tubular Reactor

This research is done to explore the advantage of ultrasonic clamp on tubular reactor as a new technology for the transesterification process of the vegetable oil by using the newly fabricated small biodiesel pilot plant. The following studies will analyze on the performance and the efficiency of the ultrasonic tubular reactor in its flow performance and the influence of the angle towards the flow rate which plays the role in the production. The low flow rate and reaction time will influence the cost of biodiesel process and by using ultrasonic, it helps the chemical reaction process to react faster hence contributing to less time consumption. In the research, the methanol to oil molar ratio will consists of 6:1, 9:1 and 12:1 respectively. Besides that, the percentage of catalyst concentration is 0.75 %, 1% and 1.25%. The fabricated small biodiesel pilot plant will be a part of knowledge on biodiesel process and its production.
