We use a microwave to react our vegetable oil with alcohol in the presence of a catylist. Our reactor is a standard countertop microwave oven with about 20′ of pex tubing wraped into a coil and plumbed through the side wall of the case. This mixes, heats and reacts our chemicals almost instantaneously and is a continuous flow process. Oil and methoxide are pumped in with metering pumps and biodiesel/glycerin mixture are expelled into a separating tube, once the biodiesel starts to flow from the top of the separator the bottom valve is opened and glycerin is extracted and diverted for later refining. Microwaves are a fast, cheap and efficent means of heating fluids!

Tankless water heater has been used in Europe, Germany in the 1964 when I was there. Here in north America energy is not a problem. But now think about it.
