If a feedstock is composed of 15% FFAs, 5% water, 0.5% insoluble solids (all in w/w) and the rest is triglycerides, please do the following mass and heat balances. In the final product mixture, there will be water in the stream. Assume the conversion is 100%, based on 100 pounds of feedstock, how much water will be in the final mixture? If the water has to be removed either by distillation or by adsorption, please give estimation to show which method is more economic. You need some preliminary data on adsorbent capacity and cost on regeneration, etc., if you use adsorption method. You need heating cost data, etc., to evaluate distillation operation
