Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dehydration of biodiesel raw materials, and particularly relates to a dehydration device for biodiesel raw materials. Background Art

[0002] A biodiesel raw material dehydration device is a device or system used to remove moisture from biodiesel raw materials. During the production process of biodiesel, raw materials such as palm acidulated oil, gutter oil, and swill oil usually contain a certain amount of moisture, which will have a negative impact on the production and quality of biodiesel. Therefore, a special dehydration device is needed to remove the moisture in the raw materials.

[0003] A biodiesel dehydration device disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent application publication specification CN209584143U includes a dryer. After the desiccant loses its water absorption capacity, the input of biodiesel is stopped, and the desiccant is directly dried on the device with the dryer to restore its water absorption performance, without the need to replace the desiccant, which makes the operation more convenient and helps to improve production efficiency. However, the existing dehydration device has a relatively simple structure, the water-oil separation membrane needs to be replaced regularly, and the current replacement method is inconvenient, resulting in low overall working efficiency. In view of this, the present utility model is specifically proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to overcome the above technical defects, the present utility model provides a dehydration device for biodiesel raw materials, which solves the problems of poor dehydration effect and inconvenient operation of existing biodiesel raw material equipment.

A water-oil separator is movably arranged in the water-oil separation area, a heater is arranged in the moisture evaporation area, and a height adjustment component is installed on the reaction tank body and is connected to the top of the water-oil separator.

[0006] Further, the water-oil separator includes a separation filter tank with an upper opening. The upper part of the separation filter tank is fixedly connected to the height adjustment component. The inner tank wall of the separation filter tank is covered with a water-oil separation membrane, and an electric valve is arranged at the bottom of the separation filter tank.
