BioImp is designing a process to continuously produce biodiesel from waste fats and oils, which they hope in the future will be sourced from Cornell Dining. The continuous process allows for lower cost operations, but most biodiesel production in the US runs in batch operations. The team has successfully created biodiesel via the transesterification reaction of triglyceride and methanol, and plan to transfer this process from pure vegetable oil to campus waste oil. They have also used a Batch Beaker Process in order to determine the optimal conditions for biodiesel production, both in terms of yield and economic feasibility. They are now looking into ways to scale up the operation to meet the power demands of an agricultural tractor, and will perform a techno-economic analysis of the batch-beaker reactions to give insight on the ideal means of biodiesel production.
