In this study, the effect of temperature and the concentration of catalyst on the palm oil methanolysis were evaluated, keeping the molar ratio and the rotational speed of the impeller constant. The forward and reverse kinetic constants and the energies of activation were calculated for second order kinetics for the three consecutive reactions. In addition, the effect of the molar ratio on conversion and productivity at temperature, concentration of catalyst and rational speed constants, were studied.
