Принадлежит: Utah State University USU

The present invention relates to methods useful for converting microbial lipids from an oleaginous microbial biomass into fatty acid alcohol esters, without prior extraction of the lipids from the biomass. The present invention also relates to fatty acid alcohol esters produced by the methods described herein. The fatty acid alcohol esters produced by the methods described herein may be useful as biodiesel, or a component thereof. In embodiments, the converting of microbial lipids to fatty acid alcohol esters may be accomplished by contacting an acid catalyst, an alcohol and an oleaginous microbial biomass containing microbial lipids under sufficient conditions and for a sufficient period of time for in situ transesterification reaction of at least some microbial lipids to their corresponding fatty acid alcohol ester.

Mobile processing systems and methods for producing biodiesel fuel from waste oils

Номер: US20150031097A1
Принадлежит: Revolution Fuels Inc

The present invention improves biodiesel production in several ways. Unique combinations of unit operations and flow configurations are disclosed in mobile processing units that are feedstock-flexible and can be dynamically deployed in a distributed way. In some embodiments, a process includes introducing a waste oil and an alcohol into a reactor with an esterification-transesterification enzymatic catalyst. Free fatty acids are reacted with alcohol to produce fatty acid alkyl esters, and glycerides are reacted with alcohol to produce fatty acid alkyl esters and glycerin. A membrane separator removes glycerin, water, and alcohol. Unreacted free fatty acids are then separated and recycled, to generate a product stream with fatty acid alkyl esters. A genset may be provided for combusting glycerin to produce electrical power and thermal heat as co-products. This biodiesel process may be energy self-sufficient, require no external utilities, and avoid direct discharge of wastewater.

Process For Producing Fatty Alcohols From Fatty Acids

In a process for the production of fatty alcohol(s) a fatty acid or fatty acid mixture is subjected to esterification with a lower alkanol to form a stream comprising the corresponding lower alkyl ester or esters. The stream is vaporised and subjected to hydrogenation to form a stream comprising fatty alcohol(s) and an amount of unconverted lower alkyl ester(s). This stream is subjected to transesterification in a wax ester reactor in the presence of a solid transesterification catalyst. Fatty alcohol(s) and wax ester(s) are then separated by distillation to yield a fatty alcohol(s) product and a stream comprising wax ester(s). The stream of wax ester(s) is passed to a second hydrogenation zone to effect hydrogenation in the liquid phase to revert the wax ester(s) to fatty alcohol(s), which are returned to the distillation separation step.
