Presentation Transcript

  1. Production of diesel fuel from vegetable oil Gaurav Nahar

  2. Production Process • Transesterification • Esterification • Thermal Cracking (Supercetane) • Other Process Biocatalyst, Supercritical Methanol

  3. Transesterification

  4. Esterification

  5. Demerits of tranesterification,esterification • Cold flow properties • Cetane Number (45-67) • Storage • By-products utilisation • Feedstock properties • Processing time

  6. Thermal Cracking (Supercetane) • Heating of triglycerides and fat-(300-500oC) in presence of hydrogen • Catalysts (Acidic) ZSM-5,H-Y Activated alumina. Ce-ZrO2

  7. Research Summary • Sai et al,1996-Potassium impregnated HSZM-5- Canola oil • Twaiq et al,1999 -HZSM-5-, Zeolite β, HZSM--Ultra stable Y Mesoporus HZSM--Ultra stable Y-Palm oil • Dandik et al,1998-HZSM-5-Used cooking oil-fractionating pyrolysis reactor • Adebanjo et,2005 –Lard-Pyrolysis on quartz

  8. Advantage of Supercetane fuel • High Cetane number(100) • Feed stock • Stable storage • Blending • Low Sulphur content ( 10 ppm) • NOx particulate matter emissions • By-products-Refinery feedstock

  9. Work Plan • Cracking of triglycerides on inert material like quartz in a fixbed reactor • Preparation and performance evaluation of catalyst on production of the production of diesel like fuel ZSM-5,Nickel-Mo supported on alumina,Ce-ZrO2 • Catalyst lifetime study and deactivation causes • Method of regeneration of the deactivated catalyst.

  10. Work Plan • Regeneration-air • Regeneration-addition steam • Catalyst doping • Other no edible oil Jatropha is also to be studied
