Abstract

Un proceso para la esterificación enzimática de ácidos grasos libres. En particular, la presente invención está relacionada con un proceso de pretratamiento para la conversión de ácidos grasos libres de aceites y grasas como material de carga para la transesterificación catalizada por bases para producir biodiesel. Reivindicación 1: Un proceso para reducir las concentraciones de ácidos grasos libres en una carga de alimentación de ácidos grasos mediante esterificación enzimática con alcohol reduciendo así las concentraciones de ácidos grasos libres a niveles compatibles con un proceso de producción de biodiésel catalizado por bases, o como un producto de aceite crudo adecuado como combustible para embarcaciones marítimas o como un aceite para carga de alimentación para la producción de aceite vegetal tratado con hidrógeno (HVO), que comprende los siguientes pasos: (a) proporcionar una carga de alimentación de ácidos grasos que comprende más que 1% en peso de ácidos grasos libres (FFA); (b) poner en contacto dicha carga de alimentación de ácidos grasos con una composición que comprende una esterasa y al menos un componente seleccionado del grupo que consiste en alcohol, alcohol y glicerol, alcohol y agua, alcohol y agua y glicerol para formar una mezcla; y (c) incubar la mezcla del paso (b) en condiciones que permitan que la esterasa catalice la esterificación de FFA hasta que los niveles de FFA se reduzcan, ya sea: i) por debajo del 10% en peso si a la reacción de esterificación enzimática le sigue un paso de neutralización; ii) por debajo de 2% en peso si a la reacción de esterificación enzimática le sigue una transesterificación catalizada por bases sin reducción ulterior de FFA; o iii) por debajo de 10% en peso, debajo de 5% en peso, tal como debajo de 2% en peso si al paso de esterificación c) no le sigue ni neutralización ni transesterificación catalizada por bases. Reivindicación 16: Un proceso para producir una mezcla cruda de biodiésel, dicho proceso comprende un pretratamiento enzimático de acuerdo con la reivindicación 1, y además comprende al menos un paso de separación de una fase liviana y pesada, y comprende al menos un paso de transesterificación catalizada por bases para producir la mezcla cruda de biodiésel que comprende éster alquilo. Reivindicación 18: Un proceso enzimático para producir un aceite adecuado como combustible para embarcaciones marítimas y/o como carga de alimentación oleosa para el ulterior procesamiento corriente abajo que no incluye transesterificación, que comprende los siguientes pasos: (a) proporcionar una carga de alimentación de ácidos grasos que comprende más que 1% en peso de ácidos grasos libres (FFA); (b) poner en contacto dicha carga de alimentación de ácidos grasos con una composición que comprende una esterasa y al menos un componente seleccionado del grupo que consiste en alcohol, alcohol y glicerol, alcohol y agua, alcohol y agua y glicerol para formar una mezcla; y (c) incubar la mezcla del paso (b) en condiciones que permitan que la esterasa catalice la esterificación de FFA hasta que los niveles de FFA se reduzcan, ya sea por debajo de 10% en peso, debajo de 5% en peso, tal como debajo de 2% en peso.A process for the enzymatic esterification of free fatty acids. In particular, the present invention relates to a pretreatment process for the conversion of free fatty acids from oils and fats as a feedstock for base-catalyzed transesterification to produce biodiesel. Claim 1: A process for reducing free fatty acid concentrations in a fatty acid feedstock by enzymatic esterification with alcohol thereby reducing the free fatty acid concentrations to levels compatible with a base-catalyzed biodiesel production process, or as a crude oil product suitable as marine fuel or as a feedstock oil for the production of hydrogen-treated vegetable oil (HVO), comprising the following steps: (a) providing a fatty acid feedstock comprising greater than 1% by weight of free fatty acids (FFA); (b) contacting said fatty acid feedstock with a composition comprising an esterase and at least one component selected from the group consisting of alcohol, alcohol and glycerol, alcohol and water, alcohol and water, and glycerol to form a mixture; and (c) incubating the mixture of step (b) under conditions that allow the esterase to catalyze the esterification of FFAs until the FFA levels are reduced to either: i) below 10% by weight if the enzymatic esterification reaction is followed by a neutralization step; ii) below 2% by weight if the enzymatic esterification reaction is followed by a base-catalyzed transesterification without further reduction of FFAs; or iii) below 10% by weight, below 5% by weight, such as below 2% by weight if the esterification step c) is followed by neither neutralization nor base-catalyzed transesterification. Claim 16: A process for producing a crude biodiesel blend, said process comprising an enzymatic pretreatment according to claim 1, and further comprising at least one step of separating a light and heavy phase, and comprising at least one base-catalyzed transesterification step to produce the crude biodiesel blend comprising alkyl ester. Claim 18: An enzymatic process for producing an oil suitable as a marine vessel fuel and/or as an oily feedstock for further downstream processing that does not include transesterification, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a fatty acid feedstock comprising greater than 1% by weight of free fatty acids (FFA); (b) contacting said fatty acid feedstock with a composition comprising an esterase and at least one component selected from the group consisting of alcohol, alcohol and glycerol, alcohol and water, alcohol and water and glycerol to form a mixture; and (c) incubating the mixture from step (b) under conditions that allow the esterase to catalyze the esterification of FFA until the FFA levels are reduced, either below 10% by weight, below 5% by weight, such as below 2% by weight.
