Abstract
This course will cover the history, rationale, and overall fundamental process and quality control of Biodiesel production. The course is designed to study the relationships of science, chemistry, technology, fuel standards, and management areas in Biodiesel processing operations. A Process Flow Demonstrator of a typical biodiesel plant will be used to examine the sequence of operations seen in various stages of production. This course will explain the rationale for feedstocks used in biodiesel processing. Labs will provide hands-on training of biodiesel production with the Biodiesel Trainer equipment.
