What is the process of transesterification of palm oil?

Transesterification involves mixing palm oil with an alcohol (typically methanol) and a catalyst (like NaOH or KOH). The triglycerides in palm oil react to form methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerol. This process requires controlled heating and thorough mixing. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant is designed for this purpose, automating each stage to ensure optimal conversion, quick processing, and clean separation of byproducts. It reduces energy usage and ensures the final biodiesel meets fuel quality standards.
