The progressive rate of consumption of fossil resources, the decrease in the estimated reserves and the extraction of which is becoming increasingly expensive, where it translates into a progressive increase in the price of oil, which has skyrocketed alarmingly. The aforementioned evidence that the peak of oil production is being reached has become a cause for serious concern. In response, countries have created agencies, for example, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), to advise countries on energy policy and to promote the development of renewable energy. Faced with this problem, the search for renewable energies continues and in response, the consumption of biofuels was generated as an alternative. The first generation raw materials used in the production of biodiesel, are the canola, rapeseed, soybean and palm oils where they have shown high yields, although their high cost makes production from these sources less competitive with respect to diesel. In contrast, the accelerated growth of biofuel production from fuel oils has had negative consequences, affecting food and environmental security and the loss of biodiversity. In order to improve the competitiveness of biofuels, new technologies and raw materials capable of reducing the cost of the production process are investigated. So oilseeds not suitable for consumption have attracted attention. Jatropha Curcas is a drought-resistant shrub with toxic and adaptive characteristics to arid lands, in addition to its low cost as it does not compete with food, makes it an attractive raw material for biodiesel production. The present work studies the viability of using the Jatropha Curcas seed as raw material, to obtain vegetable oil by means of acid hydrolysis of the ground seed. Likewise, in the present work we want to express the use of reactors, acid hydrolysis reactions and the development of a variety of operating variables in each process proposed for the extraction of oil from the Jatropha Curcas seed. In short, carry out the design of a plant for the production of vegetable oil from the seed of Jatropha Curcas. The thesis to be presented contains chapters that describe the market study, referential background review, theoretical framework, development of the experimental part, its application to the design of an oil production plant, economic evaluation, statistical evaluation, conclusions, recommendations, analysis of results and annexes. The experimental tests carried out at the laboratory level successfully obtained oil from the Jatropha Curcas seed and presented its production at an industrial level by proposing the design of a practical and economically viable plant. The most important physical and chemical properties of the oil obtained from the Jatropha Curcas seed were determined and analyzed through the proposed process, in order to evaluate its potential to produce biodiesel. The stages proposed in the design of the plant at the industrial level, respecting the stages at the bench and experimental levels are: pretreatment of the Jatropha Curcas seed, Drying of the pretreated seed, Grinding of the pretreated and dry seed, classification of the ground seed, storage of fine ground seed, decantation and separation of the shell, acid hydrolysis of the separated seed and storage of the oil obtained. During the design of the plant, empirical data obtained in the experimental part of the research and different tabulated data were used to be able to scale up to an industrial plant for the production of vegetable oil from the Jatropha Curcas seed. In addition, material and energy balances were carried out to complete the design of each equipment to be used at the industrial level. It should be noted that the study carried out is part of a larger project, where it will involve in the following investigations of the by-products obtained in obtaining the oil from the Jatropha Curcas seed and that have an added economic potential.
