Abstract

The paper proposes the biodiesel plant operation technology that maintains oil heating in the heat exchanger, which is part of the biodiesel plant in measuring the outlet biodiesel temperature of the heat exchanger. The integrated system of evaluation of oil temperature changes based on the mathematical and logical simulation as a part of the cogeneration system enables making decisions to change the number of heat exchanger plates to maintain a constant biodiesel yield and timely change heated and fresh oil. On the example of the biodiesel plant EXON-500 with a production capacity of 12,000 liters/day this approach allows reducing the biodiesel production costs and the biodiesel plant payback period up to 30 %. 19.28 tons of oil equivalent per year are saved. With additional energy output of 66.5 MWh/year and sales at the "green tariff" in the range of, for example, 3.5-3.9 UAH/KWh, money income will be about 200 thousand UAH.
