esterification reaction tower for producing
biodiesel. The invention is characterized by mainly comprising a
tower body, a redistributor, deflector plates, an access hole, a
distributor, a gas-phase
methanol inlet, a
discharge port, a water outlet, a heat-conducting oil inlet, a heat-conducting oil outlet, a heat-conducting oil jacket, a feed port, a water inlet, a
safety valve, a
thermometer, a pressure meter and a gas-phase
methanol outlet, wherein the outer bottom of the
tower body is respectively provided with the gas-phase
methanol inlet and water outlet; the
distributor on the inner bottom is communicated with a pipeline of the gas-phase methanol inlet; the lower part is provided with the heat-conducting oil jacket, heat-conducting oil inlet, heat-conducting oil outlet and access hole; the inner top is provided with the redistributor; the inner cylindrical wall is uniformly distributed with the plurality of deflector plates; and the outer top is provided with the feed port, water inlet and gas-phase methanol outlet. The invention has the characteristics of no need of catalyst, no environmental
pollution, low reaction pressure, low
reaction temperature, low
energy consumption, low investment and
operating cost, wide application range of raw materials, high yield and the like.
