description The purpose is to develop and to deploy some economically competitive technologies for Biodiesel's  production in Colombia, involving the design and construction of a prototype as a technological development. After studying  different material's characteristics, it was selected the austenitic steel ANSI 304. To the monitoring system and for the automatic variables control of (Temperature, time and speed) two microcontrollers PIC 18F452 were implemented, together with a microcontroller PIC 12F629, in configuration a master-two slaves. For the variables visualization a screen LCD PG128128 was used, with interface graph and configurable  menu by applying a matrix  keyboard. The device registers information of temperature and speed using the memory EEPROM reports  of the master microcontroller to visualize them in graphics, with connection to a PC. Finally the prototype  functioning  was evaluated by the production and  the African  Palm’s  bio-diesel quality analysis. The test consisted in  the determination of the content of methyl esters in the samples that cameo ut of the production process, for which a gas chromatograph Varian 3400 was used. The results show conversions up of 86,23 % in average.

El  propósito  de  este  trabajo  es  desarrollar  y  desplegar tecnologías  económicamente  competitivas  para  la producción de biodiésel  en Colombia,  involucrando  el diseño y construcción de un prototipo como desarrollo tecnológico. Se estudiaron características de diferentes materiales, seleccionándose  el  acero  austenítico ANSI 304. Para el  sistema de monitoreo y control automático de variables  (temperatura,  tiempo  y  velocidad)  se implementaron  dos  microcontroladores  PIC  18F452, junto  con  un microcontrolador  PIC  12F629,  en configuración  un  maestro-dos  esclavos.  Para  la visualización de las variables se utilizó una pantalla LCD PG128128,  con  interfaz  gráfica  y  menú  configurable mediante teclado matricial. El dispositivo registra datos de  temperatura  y  velocidad  empleando  la  memoria EEPROM  del  microcontrolador  maestro  para visualizarlos en modo gráfico, adicionalmente se  incluyó un puerto de comunicación serial con conexión a un PC. Finalmente  se  evaluó  el  funcionamiento  del  prototipo mediante producción y análisis de calidad del biodiésel de  palma  africana,  el  análisis  consistió  en  la determinación del contenido de esteres metílicos en las muestras resultantes del proceso de producción, para lo cual se usó un cromatógrafo de gases Varian 3400,  los resultados arrojaron datos de conversión hasta del 86,23 % en promedio.
