Abstract
Two continuous transesterification processes for biodiesel production from crude palm oil were
designed and simulated, using the HYSYSTM process simulator. The first one includes a pretreatment of the free
fatty acids via neutralization and the second one via an esterification with acidic conditions. To establish a
comparative analysis between both processes, a technological assessment was carried out. It was concluded that the
raw materials consumption is greater for the process with free fatty acids neutralization. It was found, also, that the
second process, with previous esterification, generates more biodiesel for an equal amount of crude oil of inlet.
