A method to optimize the operation of industrial vegetable oil hydrogenators is proposed. The hydrogenation data from an operating plant are used to fit a simple mathematical model which is then used to select values for temperature and hydrogen pressure such that a desired product is obtained in minimum hydrogenation time, Methodology is suggested whereby any nonoptimal operation can be changed to optimal operation in a few trials.
