The present disclosure relates to a system and a process for producing biofuel. The system comprises at least one feed tank; a low pressure pump; a high pressure pump; a first heat exchanger; a second heat exchanger; a reaction vessel; a precipitation vessel; a first pressure let-down station; a third heat exchanger; a second pressure let-down station; a gas-liquid separator; and a biofuel separator. The process comprises pressurizing and heating a feed, followed by reforming the pressurized and heated feed to obtain a slurry. The solids are separated from the slurry by precipitation to obtain a mixture comprising biofuel and the non-reformed feed. The mixture is then cooled and de-pressurized, followed by separation of gases and the non-reformed feed to obtain the biofuel. The system and process of the present disclosure can be used to produce biofuel from diverse, easily available and inexpensive starting material.
