1 BIODIESEL DIDACTIC PLANT AND INDUSTRIAL SIMULATION Alex N. Brasil 1, Leandro S. Oliveira 2, Karla T. Kucek 3 Abstract Planning, designing and building teaching equipment in universities, by research groups, reflects a Brazilian need on the development of technologies in various sectors, enabling the development and improvement of products, reduction of costs, and aggregation of financial and intellectual values to the "Made in Brazil manufacturing. This paper presents the study, design, procedure for construction and operation of a model plant of industrial-scale biodiesel, consisting of a collaboration solution for procurement of equipment related to training and studies for biofuel production. The Project refers to a system and process for production of biodiesel in a didactic and small-volume, providing a reaction system and process which simulates the conditions and characteristics existing in industrial production of biodiesel, making it possible to study knowledge and control of important process variables. By having transparent borosilicate glass, high strength tanks, it makes it possible to monitor, from an educational perspective, all stages of the process and, and considering the small volume processed, it provides a savings in the use and consumption of reagents and supplies, besides being easily transported and allocated in confined spaces. Index Terms Biodiesel, biofuel production, biodiesel unit, didactic biodiesel plant. 1 Alex N.

2 INTRODUCTION Brazil has great potential for generating energy from biomass resources due to favorable soil and climatic development of various crops [1]. The search for new bioenergy sources and further escalation is necessary to transmute the research labs to companies, performing the cycle of R&D technology. Biodiesel is a biofuel derived from renewable biomass for use in internal combustion engines with compression ignition or as rules for generating other types of energy, which can partially or totally substitute fossil fuels. It is a clean burning alternative fuel produced from domestic resources, and it is renewable. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, is biodegradable, nontoxic and essentially free of sulfur and aromatic compounds [3]. Biodiesel is chemically defined as the alkyl monoesters of long chain fatty acids derived from renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oils, animal fats and recycled cooking oil. The most widely known process consists of a chemical reaction in which the triacylglycerides (TAGs) found in these fatty materials (e.g., soybean oil) combine with an alcohol (methanol or ethanol) in the presence of an alkaline catalyst (usually NaOH, KOH and their alkoxides) to produce alkyl monoesters (biodiesel) and glycerin. As a co-product, glycerin has little or no fuel value but its several industrial applications are critical to support the economics of the process. Nowadays in Brazil, there are some companies that have technology to build biodiesel plants with high aggregate technology, selling plants with high production capacity, from 1000 liters/day; the final prices that exceed of $300, (three hundred thousand dollars), which makes impossible the acquisition of such equipment by small farmers, settlers and academic research groups [4]. The development and use of a teaching module for biodiesel production, are inserted in an effort directed towards improving the teaching disciplines of renewable energies given in undergraduate courses in engineering from the University of Itaúna. The perceived importance of the experimental study, particularly for biofuels, in undergraduate courses is reinforced face the current context in terms of generation and utilization of energy [2]. 2
3 Making use of the module teaching of biofuels, it becomes possible to perform scheduling of experimental studies of biodiesel production and it can easily vary the types of oils, alcohols and catalysts used in the process. Both the laboratory and the teaching plant were built in the same spirit of using equipment that has ease of operation, transportation, installation and maintenance. Therefore, this paper aims to disseminate information about the design, construction and assembly of a didactic model for biodiesel plant at low cost and easy operation, capable of producing six (6) liters of biodiesel per batch. The process of transesterification may use any vegetable oil or animal fats through the routes methyl or ethyl. The proposal of designing and building a plant to produce biodiesel on a small scale follows the philosophy of having to use a low equipment cost, relative to those industrial domestic or imported, easy to use and easy to be transported. Mobility and ease of use were primary factors for the development of the project. MATERIALS AND METHODS The plant producing biodiesel on a small scale followed the philosophy of having to use a low equipment cost, relative to those industrial national or imported, equipments, which are easy to use and easy to be transported. The reactor is capable of producing up to six (6) liters of biodiesel per batch, which allows its use in structures that can be assembled in biofuel analysis and production laboratories. The didactic plant, showed on Figure 1, was designed to work with any type of oilseed including oils from food frying processes. In the specific case we have the initial proposal to work with the following oils: soybean, sunflower, jatropha, palm, rapeseed, crambe and their mixtures [1]. The ethyl and methyl alcohols are used as reagents in the process, giving priority to ethanol because it comes from renewable sources and because Brazil has a large availability of this input. As catalysts, there has been the proposal to work with NaOH and sodium methoxide (30%) as it is already being used in the synthesis bench, not preventing that other catalysts may be used. 3

In the design of the plant there have been considered several factors directly linked with the technical and economical process of producing biodiesel. It was also taken into consideration the compatibility of materials used in pipes, fittings, registers, making the tanks. Figure 2 shows the schematic drawing of the scale model, identifying its various equipments and tanks. The didactic module in question was designed and built as a basic parameter and the need for a versatile equipment which could be used in conventional classrooms. Thus, we observed the following aspects to the equipment mechanical design: 4

Mechanical Design Carbon steel was used to construct the modular structure. Due to the physicochemical properties of biodiesel, the entire line of hydraulic circuit was designed and developed in 304 stainless steel and nylon hose. Because the didactic plant operates in 8
9 batch, ball valves were designed to control the flow of fluids during the process. The transport of liquids in the plant is performed by centrifugal dimensional pumps for that purpose. Chemical project The reactor was designed for 6 liters of oil, having a volume of 8.5 liters and includes responses with molar ratios up to 6:1 (alcohol: oil). May be considered as reactive process: oil, alcohol and catalyst. To facilitate viewing and provide better monitoring of the process, the bodies of the reactor, and two decanters and a tank of biodiesel were designed and constructed in borosilicate glass Duran 90. The agitation of the solution is given by a mechanical shaker for semi-viscous fluids. The heating is accomplished through tubular resistance encapsulated and automatic temperature control. The system of separation and purification of biodiesel takes place initially by gravity through decanter tanks to separate the ester and glycerin. The withdrawal of the alcohol used in excess in the reactions can be made through distiller with a capacity of 9 liters per batch. Finally, the final purification of the ester (biodiesel) and alcohol (recovered) is given by column purification system that can be supplied with commercial adsorbents or developed in the laboratory. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Through theoretical and practical knowledge, design and implementation was possible to develop the project of didactic plant, extending the range of options for research in laboratories at a cost affordable and providing results that allow the scheduling result bench for semi-industrial. Because of their mobility, convenience and versatility, the didactic plant enables the study variables such as molar ratios, types of oils, distillation, purification of type "Dry Wash", etc. kinetics of the reactions. 9
