What makes the BD400 so effective?What makes the BD400 so effective?Pressurised reactor allows the reaction to be carried out at 85°C w/o methanol boiling off. (Well above “normal” methanol boiling point.) This drives the reaction forwards.
Inner stainless steel core, outer stainless steel jacket. Insulated.
Good proven mixing. Gives exceptional mixing of reactants not just circulation.

40% methanol
17-20% methanol
Methanol vapour The reaction works best with high concentrations of methanol and high temp.
Add hot oil to warm methanol + catalyst.
Gives very high initial methanol:oil ratio – optimal.
Minimal vapour space/loss.
Incr. pressure & temp to 85°C. Good mixing to complete the reaction
