Material Balance

This document summarizes the material balances for a biodiesel production process both with and without recycling. It shows the feed and output streams for each unit in the process, including the components and flow rates. The process involves transesterification of triglycerides with methanol to produce fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerol.
