Development of a novel integrated continuous reactor system for biocatalytic production of biodiesel

- Integrated CSTR-PBR based continuous biodiesel production process was developed.
- Biodiesel was produced by indigenously developed immobilized enzyme as catalyst.
- Process was perfectly continuous with no intermittent methanol addition steps.
- The process was stable up to several cycles with high productivity.
- Process parameters were standardized to obtain maximum percentage conversion.
