The invention, a biodiesel plant for didactic and industrial simulation purposes, relates to a system and method for producing biodiesel in a didactic manner and with a reduced volume, providing a reaction and processing system that simulates the prevailing conditions and characteristics of industrial biodiesel production processes, making it possible to study, research and control important process variables. In that the plant has transparent tanks made of borosilicate glass, all the steps of the process can be followed, in a didactically advantageous manner, and due to the small volume processed, it allows reagents and feedstocks to be used and consumed sparingly; moreover, it can be easily transported and placed in small spaces. |
