The effect of relevant process variables like rotational speed, temperature, catalyst concentration, and molar ratio of ethanol to oil was investigated. Maximum yield of FAEE was 98mol% for both the batch (70°C, 600rpm, 0.8% w/w of sodium ethoxide) and CCCS reactor configuration (60°C, 2100rpm, 1% w/w of sodium ethoxide, oil feed 28mL/min). The volumetric production rate of FAEE in the CCCS at optimum conditions was 112kgFAEE/m3liquid·min. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
