The main research aim is to verify the efficiency of wet methods of biodiesel cleaning and to establish optimal and rational parameters for biodiesel purification and disposing of its cleaning waste. The efficiency of biodiesel washing was studied by means of volumetric, bubble and aerosol washing. Volumetric washing of biodiesel was carried out with the use of a blade mixer with three blades on a shaft and a four-blade agitator with sloping blades. One of the three methods of biodiesel washing studied can be recommended for practical use – aerosol washing with medium- and large-grained washing to be carried out for at least 4-5 hours, while fine-grained – for a longer time. The use of waste from the purification of biodiesel as a cosubstrate in biogas plants will almost double the output of biogas, which will significantly reduce the payback period of biogas plants.
