About
Join us to explore how process intensification strategies transform biofuel production through efficient technology. This live webinar will be led by Rocky Costello, a professional chemical engineer with extensive experience in biofuel projects. Using a case study from a biodiesel plant that was built and operated in Illinois, Rocky will highlight how intensified systems can enhance performance and scalability. This session will cover transesterification, purification, and distillation in biodiesel production, with a focus on continuous processing and high conversion yields.

By the end of the webinar, you’ll gain insights into:
• Managing feedstock variability
• Enhancing conversion and purification
• Continuous flow Spinning-Tube-in-Tube (STT) Reactors
• Applying simulation-driven strategies to optimize biofuel operations

The webinar will include a live Q&A with Rocky Costello, offering a unique opportunity to ask questions and receive expert guidance tailored to your facility’s needs.
