UNIT 6153 – OIL PRE-NEUTRALIZATION
(Ref Dwg. 6153.01.01)
I INTRODUCTION
The Oil Pre-Neutralization section is designed to reduce the quantity of FFA and water contained in
the vegetable oil coming from storage.
The section works on the mixing of vegetable oil with glycerine phase and consecutive decantation
to pass water and fatty acids as much as possible to glycerine phase.
II ADVANTAGES
The main advantage of Desmet Ballestra Oil Pre-Neutralization is to improve the quality of
vegetable oil reducing FFA content and removing water which has a negative impact on the
following transesterification reaction making the catalyst inactive.
This is achieved using the unreacted catalyst still in glycerine phase by means of saponification reaction.
III PROCESS FLOW
Vegetable oil from storage is mixed with glycerine phase from 6163S4 in the static mixer 6153MX1
and then sent to decanter 6153S1 with a residence time of 30 minutes where two phases are
separated.
The heavy phase, containing glycerine, water, spent catalyst and soaps, is sent by gravity to
glycerine holding vessel 6163V8, while the light phase, composed by vegetable oil, residual water
and FFA, is then transferred to reactor 6163R1.
Oil Pre-Neutralization decanter is vented to Venting System.

UNIT 6163 – METHYLESTER AND GLYCERINE PRODUCTION
1. New Transesterification (Ref Dwg. 6163NT.01)
I INTRODUCTION
The New Transesterification section is designed to convert dry oil to methylester according to the
following main reaction:
The new transesterification reaction is accomplished in continuous using three stirred reactors in series
(6163R1, 6163R2 and 6163R3) operating in mild conditions and giving very low catalyst
consumption.
The catalyst used for the reaction is sodium methylate (CH3-O-Na), supplied as 30% solution with
methanol. Sodium methylate is much more soluble in the glycerine so an internal glycerine recycle from
second decanter 6163S5 to the first reactor 6163R1 is carried out in order to completely exhaust the
catalyst and thus minimize its consumption.
Methanol is fed to the reaction in a proper excess with respect to the stoichiometric quantity to
maximize the conversion of the transesterification reaction and to avoid as much as possible the
undesired side reaction of saponification.
The reaction heat is negligible so, in normal operating conditions, the heat supply from outside is not
necessary to keep the reaction mixture at the required temperature.
As methylester and glycerine are insoluble, two phases are the result of this section: a stream rich in
methylester and a stream rich in glycerine which will be deeply purified in the downstream sections
to allow the highest methylester, methanol and glycerine recovery.
II ADVANTAGES
The Desmet Ballestra New Transesterification section 6163NT is the result of many years of
improvement leading to this new advanced arrangement which allows a very effective reaction
conversion with the minimum catalyst consumption.
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 14/86
III PROCESS FLOW
The pre-neutralized vegetable oil coming from the upstream Oil Pre-Neutralization section 6153 is
fed to the new transesterification first reactor 6163R1 where it is mixed by the new transesterification
agitator with the methanol, the catalyst and the glycerine phase (that still contains partially active
catalyst coming from the second decanter 6163S5).
From the first reactor 6163R1 the mixture overflows to the new transesterification first decanter 6163S4,
where the reaction proceeds thanks to the residence time ensured to the bulk of liquid.
Here an interface level is established: the heavy phase, rich in glycerine together with most of the
soaps formed by side reactions and the spent catalyst is discharged by the new transesterification first
glycerine extraction pump 6163P12 (under interface level control) to the upstream Oil Pre-
Neutralization section 6153.
The light phase, rich in methylester, is instead transferred by the new transesterification first
decanter pump 6163P16 (under level control) to the new transesterification second reactor 163R2.
Thus, the methylester going into the second reactor is dosed with further catalyst and fresh methanol
and mixed by agitator. The working conditions are identical to those of first reactor 6163R1.
In the second reactor the mixture partially reacted overflows to the new transesterification second
decanter 6163S5 as well and the reaction gets completed thanks to the residence time ensured to the bulk
of liquid.
Also here an interface level is established: the heavy phase (rich in glycerine, soaps and spent catalyst)
is discharged by the new transesterification second glycerine extraction pump 6163P3 (under
interface level control) to the first reactor 163R1; the light phase (rich in methylester) is transferred
by the new transesterification second decanter pump 6163P17 (under level control) to the new
transesterification third reactor 6163R3.
The third reactor is a stirred reactor identical to the previous ones where the reaction is completed
mixing the methylester phase to the remaining portion of methanol and catalyst by means of agitator.
The reacted mixture contains the methylester product, the methanol in excess and glycerine as
reaction by-product that, together with a limited amount of soaps, is overflow to the decanter 6163S1 in
the downstream Glycerine Separation section.
The crude methylester from the gravity separator 6163S1 overflow is pumped to flash drum 6163V4
for methanol flashing.
The glycerine (heavy phase) settled at the bottom of 6163S1 (containing glycerine, active catalyst,
part of the excess of methanol and almost the total amount of soaps) is sent to the second reaction
step (to take advantage of the residual activity of the catalyst) by means of 6163P6A.
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 15/86
2. Methylester / Glycerine Separation (Ref Dwg. 6163.01.02)
The crude Methylester from 6163P5 is heated through a recirculation loop composed by a
recirculation pump 6163P13 and the heater 6163E1 prior sent to the flash drum 6163V4, where most of
the contained methanol is evaporated.
The methanol is condensed in the exchanger 6163E2 and sent directly to the dry methanol holding
tank 6160V2 where it can be recycled as from where it is recycled into the process.
The heavy phase contained in 6163V8 (and coming from 6163S4) is finally sent to glycerine
treatment unit 6166, by means of pump 6163P6B.
The crude methylester from 6163V4 contains glycerine traces, soaps and catalyst; these impurities are
washed in methylester vessel 163V7 with water and citric acid solution from Unit 600.
The washed methylester is sent to the Final Methylester/ Glycerine Centrifugation for further
separation.
3. Final Methylester / Glycerine Centrifugation (Ref Dwg. 6163.01.03)
The washed methylester from 6163P7 is heated in the heat exchanger 6163E3A before entering the
centrifugal separator 6163S2.
The heavy phase from centrifugal separator 6163S2 is sent to glycerine purification unit 6166. In
case of centrifuge malfunctioning the pressure control of the machine will automatically switch the
heavy phase to the off spec tank 6163V9, then by means of the pump 6163P10 will be recovered into
the methylester vessel 6163V7.
4. Methylester Double Washing (Ref Dwg.6163.01.03X)
Under certain condition, biodiesel can form a haze material during storage of the finished product or
components affecting the total contamination.
The Biodiesel Double Washing system, to be integrated in the biodiesel plant after the biodiesel washing
system, is designed to remove the haze and decrease the Total Contamination minimizing the losses.
The biodiesel to be treated (containing glycerine traces, sterol glycosides, soaps and catalyst) from
the centrifuge separator 6163S2 flows to the buffer vessel 6163V20.
From there by means of the pump 6163P20 is sent, after being heated in 6163E20, to the centrifugal
separator 6163S20 to separate the contaminants listed above.
Here the citric acid and washing water are continuously dosed from unit 6600 and blended by a high
shear mixer 6163MX20. Reaction is completed continuously in the reactor 6163R20. Heavy phase
water from this double washing step is recycled to 6163V7.
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 16/86
The methylester from the centrifugal separator light phase which is free of glycerine, catalyst and
soap is then send to 6163C1 for purification.
5. Methylester Purification (Ref Dwg. 6163.01.04 sht. 1 & 2)
The Methylester is heated with the dried Methylester stream outcoming the unit through heat
exchanger 6163E4 and it is sent to the drying column 6163C1 (equipped with an additional reboiling
system 6163P14/ 6163E5) and the post flasher 6163C3 where water and methanol are removed.
The Methylester coming from the drying column is transferred to storage through the pump 6163P8,
after being cooled by means of thermal recovery in the exchangers 6163E4 and final water cooling in
heat exchanger 6163E3B.
The wet methanol evaporated inside the drying column 6163C1 and in the post flasher 6163C3 by means
of the ejector 6163J1, is condensed through the condenser 6163E6 working under vacuum conditions
(by means of the vacuum group 6163P11) and it is sent to the methanol rectification unit 6160.
6. Vent Condensation (Ref Dwg. 6163.01.05)
This unit consists of a vent header and a condensing/scrubbing system. The unit is designed in order
to condense all emergency vents from the upstream production unit.
All the vents coming from the plant are collected in a header, are sent to the condenser 6163E7 and then
are recovered in methanol holding tank 6163V6.
The methanol collected in 6163V6 is sent through pump 6163P9 to the methanol rectification unit
(Unit 6160).
In order to reduce the methanol content of gaseous effluents to atmosphere down to minimum levels
the gases vented from the tank 6163V6 are sent to the scrubber 6163C2 where, with once through
water stream, the methanol is adsorbed.
The water from 6163C2, containing methanol, is sent to methanol rectification unit 6160.
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 17/86
UNIT 6166 – GLYCERINE PURIFICATION
1. Soap Splitting (Ref Dwg. 6166.01.01)
The purpose of this section is to acidulate the raw glycerine stream, in order to neutralize the residual
catalyst and to split the soaps formed during transesterification. Subsequently, the fatty acids derived
from soap splitting are separated and the pH of the purified glycerine is finally adjusted.
The raw glycerine stream coming from the feeding pump 6163P6B is sent to the flash drum 6166V1
to separate the methanol after heating through the recovery heat exchanger 6166E2 and the preheater
6166E1. The methanol evaporated in the flash drum 166V1 is sent to methanol distillation column
6160C1.
The glycerine coming from the flash drum 166V1 is sent, by means of the transfer pump 6166P1, to
the acidification reactor 6166V2. The quantity of hydrochloric acid is controlled with an automatic pH
controller with the aim to guarantee a pH lower than 4 inside the reactor 6166V2.
The water/glycerine phase coming from centrifugal separator 6163S2 is directly fed into reactor 6166V2.
The mixture of glycerine/fatty acid coming from 6166V2 is sent by gravity to the separator 6166S1.
The stream of glycerine separated from fatty acid (containing methanol and water), is fed by means
of pump 6166P3 to the neutralizing vessel 6166A1, where the pH is adjusted to the neutrality value
by addition of a caustic soda solution 50%. The neutralized glycerine stream coming from the
neutralization vessel 6166A1 is sent to the next step to remove the residual methanol still present.
The fatty acid stream coming from the top of the 6166S1 is sent to storage.
2. Methanol Separation (Ref Dwg. 6166.01.02)
The glycerine stream coming from neutralization reactor 6166A1 is collected in the glycerin holding
tank 6166V3 and then sent to the recovery pre-heater 6166 E3 by means of feeding pump 6166P8.
The glycerine is pre-heated by the methanol free glycerine stream coming out from the column, and
then sent to the glycerin distillation column 6166C1.
The wet methanol evaporated in the glycerin distillation column 6166 C1 is sent to methanol
distillation column 6160C1.The purified and concentrated glycerine is transferred by glycerine
transfer pump 6166P9 to storage by level control.
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 18/86
UNIT 6160 – METHANOL RECTIFICATION
(Ref Dwg. 6160.01.01)
The methanol coming from the upstream process units are collected in the wet methanol holding tank
6160V1. The wet methanol is fed under flow control by the pump 6160P1 to the distillation column
6160C1 operating at atmospheric pressure. The methanol vapours from 6166V1 and 6166C1 are fed
to the distillation column 6160C1 as well.
The distillation column is equipped with the reboiler 6160E3 and the bottom extraction pump
6160P5. The methanol vapor from the top of the column is condensed in the condenser 6160E2 and
partially refluxed back to the column 160C1. The rectified methanol must be able to achieved high
purity (99.8% min) to ensure smooth operation.
The rectified and condensed methanol is cooled through the heat exchanger 6160E4 and then sent to the
dry methanol holding tank 6160V2. The rectified methanol is recirculated back to the reactor loop
circuits (Unit 6163) with some top up of fresh make-up methanol from storage.
UNIT 6600 – CITRIC ACID PREPARATION
(Ref Dwg. 6600.01.01)
This unit allows the preparation of the citric acid water solution to be used in the unit 6163 by
utilizing the recovered water from the methanol rectification unit and collected in the water holding
tank 6600V1.
The required amount of citric acid is diluted in the preparation tank 6600A1 with the water from water
holding tank 6600V1 then mixed well by the agitator equipped.
The citric acid solution from the preparation tank 600A1 is sent to the holding tank 6600V2 by the
transfer pump 6600P4 and ready for citric acid dosing.
The Citric Acid solution is filtered in 6600F1 and then dosed to the 6163 unit by dosing pump
6600P2B. In case of pre-washing an additional dosing pump can be installed.

73PLC PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER

Type : PLC
Including:
- 1 CPU
- 1 communication processor
- 1 Power supply unit
- 1 Interface port to connect to the supervision system
- Analog Input cards 4 – 20 mA
- Analog Output cards 4 – 20mA
- Digital Input cards 24V-DC
- Digital Output cards 24V-DC
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 44/86
Note: The number of inputs / outputs per card may differ according to the
type of CPU model.
There is a need to perform some automated tasks who will improve safety
and repeatability, meaning better and more stable quality.
To obtain this, we will install systems who centralise the information, thus
rendering supervision and knowledge more accurate, true and easily
available. We collect maximum available information by connecting every
available instrument into a control system. All the proximity, level, pressure
and flow switches, as well as,feedback from the MCC are connected to the
digital input cards of the PLC. The interlocks will be performed by the PLC.
Concerning the analogical measurements such as temperature, flow and

pressure or level transmitters; they are connected to the analogue input cards
of the PLC.
HMI: Human-Machine-Interface:
In order to reach centralisation, the information uses a HMI (Human-
Machine Interface, which means Operator-Plant interface via one screen), a
well proven and worldwide used package.
When using such a system, enlightening mimics with lamps are replaced by
the HMI, therefore increasing the safety of the operations as well as
minimizing the maintenance of these instruments.
Type
PLC
Finally, in order to connect the HMI systems with the PLC we propose to
install a communication network:
ETHERNET INDUSTRIAL NETWORK
On top of the advantages above, these systems allow to add afterwards

automation components, to a certain degree, for a minimum investment.
These Supervision systems consist of PC’s connected to the PLC. The PC

contains the SCADA graphic system and performs the monitoring of all
automatic or manual operations. In addition, for reporting and trends curves,
one printer is also included.
The idea of using the PC comes from the advantage of its storage capacity,
therefore the possibility to perform extensive historical reports and trend
analysis.
As a summary, the package includes:
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 45/86
Personal computer PC with latest model. The PC is HP or equivalent. 23
Inches Colour TFT flat screen
Supervision Software package
Black & White printer.
Industrial network
Consisting of:
- Communication card for DCS
- Drop cables,
The package is an Application Generator, meaning that all the monitoring

facilities are already built into the system and only the project definitions need
to be provided by the application engineer. No computer or programming
skills are required.
The package continuously communicates with control equipment on the field,

such as PLC’s, measuring instruments, and other devices. As the equipment
is monitored and the information obtained is recorded, the system responds
by sending data or instructions.
Interaction between the package operator and the package application is easy
and user-friendly.
Among the main package features, we include:
Process Visualisation
Vivid graphical images present and animate on-going control processes. The
operator can zoom in or zoom out an image whether to obtain a detailed
picture or rather an overview. As parameters in the field change, so do graphical
drawings and textual displays. For instance, if a tank is filling, the respective
tank drawing will be filled accordingly and the liquid level will be updated
numerically.
The package images are designed using a simple, yet powerful, graphic editor
that includes a variety of drawing tools.
Alert Processing
The system constantly checks for alert conditions defined by the engineer.
Alerts are collected and presented by sophisticated Annunciators, which
classify and sort them according to several categories.
Specific alert information can be assigned to each alert and an operator can
immediately retrieve that information for assistance. This eliminates the need
for tedious manuals consulting. All the alerts as well as other events defined
by the engineer are recorded for later use.
Recipes
Proposal n°: 19.07.2364.02 Page n° 46/86
Operators can edit, load and save recipes for convenient handling of
production processes and setting of control processes and setting of control
program. Recipe management and downloading of production recipes from
management systems is simple and straightforward.
Charts
Several coloured graphs and histograms can be plotted into one chart, thus
presenting trends and current control activities. There are also easy-to-use
tools available for viewing and analysing data.
Reports
The package can generate on-line and batch reports. Custom reports can be
defined by the engineer and generated automatically or upon operator
request. Shift and periodic reports are easily produced, providing follow-up
information for personnel management.
In addition, event reports can be generated to analyze previous activities and

provide information that may be useful for troubleshooting.
