Macroscale component
Our crude, large scale 55-gallon biodiesel reactor (~40-45 gallon capacity) is currently being refined.
We have began to draw up an overview of all the components of the final reactor.
The progress we have made thus far is:
- Design and construction of methanol mixer.
- Design and construction of mixer for main reactor.
- Installation of tap and valve into bottom of main reactor.
Our current areas of focus are as follows:
- Design reflux column / methanol condenser.
- Design and build post-reaction filter.
- Purchase or design and construct conical separation tank and associated valve system.
