Triglyceride emulsifiers need to be heated up for the reaction. This can be done in different heat exchanger types. The most efficient way is to use multi tube heat exchangers with static mixing elements inside the pipes. In comparison to empty tube heat exchangers, the operating time between services when using static mixing elements could be considerably extended. Due to the continuous mixing during the heating stage the reaction could also be improved and the processing time reduced
