Zusammenfassung:There is need to further examine optimization of biodiesel production from renewable sources. In this study, we report the optimization of biodiesel produced from microalgae biomass using the CHEMCAD process simulator. Results show that the overall molar flow and energy was calculated to be 7.010kmoles/h and -4936.5MJ/h respectively. And also the liquid viscosity of the microalgae oil is greater than that of the biodiesel produced.
