Abstract
⺠Single step methanol recovery and glycerol separation in biodiesel production. ⺠Efficient process intensification method based on a dividing-wall column (DWC). ⺠Rigorous simulations carried out in AspenTech Aspen Plus and Aspen Dynamics. ⺠Optimized designs using the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method. ⺠Energy savings of 27% and 12% lower investment costs by DWC alternative.
