“…Some simulation, environmental life cycle assessment, and feasibility studies reported that the supercritical process provided high biodiesel production capacity, faster process, technical benefits, and significantly reduce wastes compared to the conventional process in biodiesel production (Han et al, 2005;Kusdiana and Saka, 2004;Lee and Saka, 2010;Yin et al, 2008b). The operational efficiency of supercritical technology can be achieved by planning an efficient heat flow plant using Pinch technology (Pleşu et al, 2015).…”

Biodiesel has recently received much attention as an energy source with numerous benefits such as high degradability, negligible toxicity, and minimal emissions of carbon monoxide gases as well as particulates. Therefore, this research aims to compare, review, and summarize the conventional and advanced methods of biodiesel production. Currently, some emerging processes that were developed for advanced biodiesel production include microwave-assisted synthesis, ultrasonic-assisted synthesis, supercritical transesterification, and liquid phase plasma discharge technology. The types of feedstocks, catalysts, and operating conditions as the influential parameters in biodiesel synthesis are also discussed. Moreover, in the purification process, the effectiveness of purification depends on the type of catalyst applied in the synthesis process. This research also reviewed and compared several commonly used purification methods such as wet and dry washing, ion exchange and precipitation, complexation, and membrane-based separation that have shown significant results along with the impacts of biodiesel production on environmental and economic sectors

“…The results showed a reduction in heating requirement by 15.6% compared to non-integrated process. Several other studies utilized pinch analysis for optimal heat and mass integration and found a significant reduction in energy consumption and utility cost [ 40 , 41 ]. However, the thermodynamic approach adopted in these studies lack in configuration of subsystems which fails in guarantying best decisions [ 42 ].…”

“…Mathematical programming has been widely applied to optimize biodiesel process synthesis problem, considering the economic trade-offs and interactions among subsystems. By far the most systematically considered synthesis problems in biodiesel production is the heat exchanger networks synthesis, separation sequences, and superstructure optimization for alternative technologies [ 41 , 86 , 87 ]. This methodology was implemented by Martin et al [ 42 ] to perform superstructure optimization of biodiesel manufacturing from microalgae and waste vegetable oil.…”

The overwhelming concerns due to over exploitation of fossil resources necessitate the utilization of alternative energy resources. Biodiesel has been considered as one of the most adaptable alternative to fossil-derived diesel with similar properties and numerous environmental benefits. Although there are various approaches for biodiesel production, development of cost-effective and robust catalyst with efficient production methods and utilization of a variety of feedstock could be the optimum solution to bring down the production cost. Considering the complexity of biodiesel production processes, process design, quantitative evaluation and optimization of the biodiesel from whole systems perspectives is essential for unlocking the complexity and enhancing the system performances. Process systems engineering offers an efficient approach to design and optimize biodiesel manufacturing systems by using a variety of tools. This review reflects state-of-the-art biodiesel research in the field of process systems engineering with a particular focus on biodiesel production including process design and simulation, sustainability evaluation, optimization and supply chain management. This review also highlights the challenges and opportunities for the development of potentially sustainable and eco-friendly enzymatic biodiesel technology.
