Abstract
Apparatus and related methods for reacting a natural oil and salt composition with a short chain alcohol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst to produce biodiesel, significantly decreasing the amount of time for the glycerol byproduct to settle out of the reaction mixture. The process for the production of biodiesel includes combining animal or vegetable oil with a salt to create a first component, combining a short chain alcohol with a strong base to create a second component, and combining the first and second components together. The combined compositions represent a reaction mixture that undergo a transesterification reaction and produce fatty acid methyl ester biodiesel and also a glycerol byproduct.
