Acid Esterification Calculator

Use this calculator to determine the methanol and sulfuric acid needed for the acid esterification reaction if your feedstock has high free fatty acids. You can either input your grams FFA or input your oil amount and FFA percentage and have the calculator determine your grams FFA automatically.

Input

Oil (grams)=

FFA (%) =

Or

FFA (grams) =

Calculation for grams FFA:

( ) * ( ) = ( )

Calculation for estimated grams methanol :

( ) * (2.2) = ( )

Calculation for estimated grams sulfuric acid :

( ) * (0.05) = ( )

Output

Estimated Methanol (grams) =

Estimated Sulfuric Acid (grams) =
