Biodiesel Production from used oil ( pork ) using Methanol

Biodiesel Production from animal fat ( pork ) using Methanol


I. Statement of the problem
This study tries to determine the potential of used oil, with different materials fried in them for biodiesel production. Specially, it will answer the following questions:

1. How do the yields of biodiesel from used oil differ considering the following factors?
a) The number of times the oil was used
b) Type of food material
i. pork

2. How do the qualities of biodiesel produced from used oils that were utilized at varying times in cooking pork in terms of its:
a) acid value
b) phosphorous content

3. How and where will be the product- biodiesel be tested
a) Biodiesel be tested in car engines
b) This product will be tested through its feasibility as a biodiesel for car engines.

II. Background of the study

Transesterification of a vegetable oil and later be tested in car engines. During the engine is a manufactured and altered engine, to utilize the lower viscosity of petrodiesel of fossil fuel, rather than vegetable oil (biomass fuel).
Petroleum industries were able to make inroads in fuel markets because their fuel was much cheaper to produce than biomass fuel alternatives. Some operational problems were reported due to the high viscosity of vegetable oils compared to petroleum diesel fuel, which result in poor production of the fuel.
Attempts to overcome these problems included heating of vegetable oil, blending it with petroleum derived diesel fuel or ethanol, pyrolysis and cracking of oils. Most biodiesel production is produced using transesterification with methanol an again filled a patent for the same process. Standards ensure that the following important factors in the fuel production process are satisfied a complete reaction, removal of alcohol, absence of fatty acids and low sulfur content.



III. Significance

Biodiesel production from vegetable oil differ in the qualities of biodiesel produced from used oils that were utilized at varying times in cooking pork and how many times the oil was used. Biodiesel production helps our economy for a better production and cheaper products like biodiesel.

Biomass fuel is a environment friendly product that lessen the CO2 carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Economic crisis may reduced due to production of alternative biomass fuel here in our country today and to our neighbor countries in the Southeast Asia.



IV. Scoop and limitations

Just like the bioethanol production there are many assumptions and limitations that should be taken into account. The problem of monoculture is discussed in the biodiesel scoop and limitations section and this is applicable to oil from pork.

For reasons of monoculture, it is likely that pork oil would be helpful in biodiesel production, however if there are some standards the are not to be discussed. This is however a big assumptions and would test the feasibility and trials to be done and tests for their standards.


IV. Definition of terms
Transesterification- a process of production of biodiesel through tests in its viscosity and acid value and for the heating of vegetable oil.
