Abstract

Purification of biodiesel using ceramic membranes have been increasingly popular as it does not produce highly polluting wastewater as compared to the conventional wet-washing method. The process simulation of biodiesel purification from glycerol using a multi-stage ceramic microfiltration membrane system was carried using computer programming. A multi-stage membrane system was implemented to minimize membrane area and cost. The main objective was to develop and design a simulation model to obtain 750,000 l/day of purified biodiesel and find out the optimum number of stages and minimum membrane area that gave the least cost. The membrane area requirement decreased with increasing number of stages, but up to a certain point, the capital costs increase again. Therefore, an optimum stage is determined, and it was found to be 4 stages with a minimum area of 1,620 m2. The economic analysis of the whole system was also performed. The total capital cost was $1,811,815 and operational costs was $312,269 per annum for this 4-stage ceramic microfiltration membrane system.
