Distillation and Rectification Systems for Biodiesel

In the biodiesel production process through transesterification, methanol is used as an excess reagent, requiring rigorous purification for reuse in the plant. Clark Solutions offers advanced methanol rectification systems equipped with liquid distributors and high-performance MaxiPac structured packing. Unlike a conventional stripping system, our rectification technology operates with reflux, which increases the purity of the top product and ensures compliance with technical moisture standards. Using MaxiPac HC — High Capacity — packing, we ensure high operational capacity even under high liquid flow rates, promoting process sustainability and profitability.

Benefits of Clark Rectification Technology

Efficient Reagent Recovery

Purification of excess methanol and water for immediate reuse in the production process, drastically reducing the purchase of new inputs.

Compliance with Technical Standards

Precise sizing that ensures moisture levels in dry methanol remain strictly within quality regulations.

Sustainability and Circular Economy

Promotion of environmental responsibility by minimizing waste disposal and optimizing the use of natural resources.

High Operational Capacity

Application of MaxiPac HC packing, which allows higher flow rates to be handled without compromising mass transfer efficiency.

Stability and Reliability

Optimized design of liquid distributors and collectors that ensures efficient contact between phases and top product purity.
