Abstract
The present invention describes a process for the production of alkyl esters of fatty acids and glycerine employing, in a reaction section, at least one transesterification reaction between an animal or vegetable oil and an aliphatic mono-alcohol, and using a heterogeneous solid catalyst, in which the energy balance is improved by thermal integration of the energy released during the mono-alcohol condensation step.
