Henkel process flow diagram

Figure 7 shows a Henkel process flow diagram operated at 9000 kPa pressure and 240°C using unrefined oil as feedstock. Unrefined oil, methanol in excess, and catalyst are metered and heated to 240°C before feeding into the reactor. The bulk of the excess methanol is flashed off as it leaves the reactor and is fed to a bubble tray column for purification. The recovered methanol is recycled into the system.
