Scale up study on production of biodiesel from jatropha crude oil
Scale up is a very important activity in designing new industrial plants especially in specialty or fine chemicals production. In this work, bench scale and pilot plant scale up factors are examined in producing biodiesel from Jatropha oil. The production of biodiesel in bench scale is compared to t...
