TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - preferred Components: The catalyst is a member of potassium hydroxide, and/or sodium hydroxide. The additional fluid is an inert gas.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING - Preferred Components: The biofuel reactor is continuous flow reactor. The system further comprises at least a third atomizer in the chamber of the biofuel reactor comprising at least one a recycle nozzle where the at least one recycle nozzle is adapted to receive at least one recycle stream for simultaneously atomizing and blending the at least one recycle stream with the light phase biofuel feed stock and the short chain alcohol with catalyst; acid wash water separator for extracting acid wash water from the washed crude biodiesel with the second portion of washing water prior to flowing into the heat exchanger; pretreatment equipment for modifying a biofuel feedstock comprising a pretreatment filter for filtering particulates from a biofuel feedstock to form a filtered product having phosphatide content, degumming apparatus for treating the filtered product using a degumming acid when the phosphatide content of the filtered product is below 20 (ppm) parts per million to form a degummed product, and allowing saponification of the filtered product using the short chain alcohol with catalyst when the free fatty acid content of the filtered product is greater than 1%; a pretreatment conduit for transferring the degummed product and dosing a portion of short chain alcohol with catalyst into the degummed product; soap separator for dividing the degummed product into the light phase biofuel feedstock and a heavy phase fluid flow; between 2 atomizers and 24 atomizers in each chamber, where at least two chambers are connected together in parallel; several mixers associated with the main biodiesel production equipment; and recycle stream for use when the light phase biofuel feedstock comprises an animal fat, and/or cooking oil. The atomizers comprises an adjustable nozzle, and/or a fixed nozzle. An additional fluid is inserted into the at least one chamber using at least one nozzle. An acidic water is introduced to the washed crude biodiesel. The neutralization vessel further receives heavy phase fluid flow from a pretreatment process for biofuel feedstock; and acid wash water. The phase separator further separates a salt from the neutralized mixture, and a salt conduit conveys the salt with a short chain alcohol that is added to the salt to a salt dryer, where the salt dryer forms a dried salt and a short chain alcohol water mixture. The acid esterification reactor is further adapted to provide at least one dosing of esterification acid with an esterification short chain alcohol. The secondary process treatment equipment further comprises a polyol neutralizer for adding a short chain alcohol with hydroxide to the second crude polyol stream to form a neutralized crude polyol.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The short chain alcohol is a member of methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, and/or pentyl alcohol. The ratio of short chain alcohol to catalyst in the short chain alcohol with catalyst is 3:1 and 25:1 alcohol:catalyst. The biofuel feedstock is a triglyceride containing feedstock. The triglyceride containing feedstock comprises rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, jatropha oil, cottonseed oil, white oil, another vegetable oil, animal fat, used cooking oil, and/or palm oil.
