There are basically two types of hydrogenation processes— hydrogenation of methyl esters and hydrogenation of fatty acids —with the former predominating in the U.S. Ashland and Procter Gamble, the two U.S. fatty alcohol producers, both utilize methyl ester-based processes (3) ... 

Soybean oil was supplied by Procter and Gamble Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Its bulk density is 0.75 g/cm... 

Figure 13.4). This route first produces fatty acids which are then hydrogenated to produce alcohols. Another common route for converting triglycerides to alcohols involves the transesterification of triglycerides to methyl esters, which are then hydrogenated to alcohols (Figure 13.4). This process is practiced by Procter Gamble, Henkel and Kao.
