Fueling the Future: Simulation Strategies for Biodiesel Production

Chemical engineers rely on process simulation software to solve industry challenges. This paper outlines how CHEMCAD helps engineers advance the future of renewable fuels like biodiesel. Advanced simulation tools like CHEMCAD can model various feedstock compositions and process conditions to identify the most efficient, cost-effective methods. Producers can use models to anticipate plant performance and optimize the design for changes in feedstock or evolving market conditions. See how to model various simulation methods from rigorous, high-fidelity simulation to shortcut methods when limited data is available.
