Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) or biodiesel¸ which is considered as an
alternative renewable fuel is usually produced via transesterification reaction
of triglyceride from vegetable oil. Generally, there are two major challenges in
the production of biodiesel i.e., reversible reaction of transesterification and
immiscibility between oil and alcohol. Membrane reactor (MR), which
combines reaction and separation, is an alternative process to overcome
those challenges. The aim of the integrated reaction-separation process is to
shift the equilibrium reaction, and to achieve a higher reaction conversion. The
methyl ester that is produced may be separated to meet the biodiesel quality
standards. FAME purification using membrane can be conducted without
water washing (dry process), and this is interesting as the associated
wastewater treatment step is eliminated. Another attractive feature of MR in
esterification process is carotenoid recovery which is beneficial to improve the
efficiency of the process. Several studies have indicated the efficacy of
carotenoids recovery from methyl ester mixture. This paper reviews the use of
MR for palm oil esterification. Membrane separation performances in methyl
ester purification are also discussed. In addition, the potential of carotene
recovery during esterification process is highlighted.
