Advances in Biofuel technology: RHT-ETBE and RHT-TAEE are the Smart configuration technologies to enhance the
conversion to over 97 to 90 percent respectively by having multiple side draws from the columns, and one can much
better quality also than competitive technologies. The major advantage in these processes is that it allows wet ethanol to be
use in the process and still meeting TBA and TAA specifications in the product. Essentially process is rejecting the water from
wet ethanol and makes high quality Ethers at low Capex and Opex to the competitive processes. RHT- Biodiesel process is
optimized to produce biodiesel from palm oil, Rape seed oil, vegetable and animal product that are all fatty acids with even
number of carbon atom typically 12 to 22 atoms. This biodiesel is comparable to hydrocarbon diesel. The triglycerides are
reacted with methanol/ ethanol or higher alcohol which all produce biodiesel in the acceptable boiling range. Methanol is
most commonly used for the biodiesel production as being the cheapest alcohol, hence provides better economics. After the
transesterfication reaction the product, methyl esters of those oils /fats as product and glycerine is produced as a byproduct.
Glycerine is separated from the methyl esters of vegetable oils that are the biodiesel by phase separation by gravity settling due
to density differences. The methyl esters and glycerine are purified to meet the product specifications. The technology is able
to provide that reaction also to meet high overall conversions and selectivity at low Capex and Opex without producing any
liquid waste.
