This project looks at the potential design for a small-scale plant capable of producing biodiesel from locally-produced crops. This project has been proposed with support from a village in India, where a biodiesel plant could be setup to provide biodiesel at a low cost to the local area, running off locally produced crops, such as the common 'weed' Jatropha. This production plant should be able to run on locally produced biomass and/or waste. The aim is to design a plant that would continuously produce biodiesel throughout the year.
