Biodiesel basics

A biodegradable, combustible fuel made from vegetable oils and/or animal fats

Usually done by base‐catalyzed  trans‐esterification of fats/oils (i.e. make a big multi‐chain molecule into 3 smaller molecules)

Commercial biodiesel is sold as a  “blend” with regular ultra low sulphur diesel (ULSD) (e.g. B10)

Waste cooking oil(WCO)

Edible oil after cooking/using produces significant amount of “Free Fatty Acid(FFA)” which can be converted to biodiesel.

Can be found anywhere as household cooking, Restaurants, Food courts, And many more.

Factors considering the Biodiesel Reaction Waste oil type: Bacon grease and other solid greases are not

acceptable for biodiesel production since they raise the cloud point and could cause cold weather problems.

Restaurant fryer oils: Tend to be high in free fatty acids which results in lower yields of biodiesel due to soap production during the reaction.

High water content in the oil: Water impedes the biodiesel reaction resulting in only partial conversion of the oil to biodiesel.

The temperature should be lower than 60˚c

Waste disposal & Byproducts

Waste water from the fuel washing process (approximately 1 gallon of water for every gallon of biodiesel)

Glycerine is drained off at the end of the fuel production process (approximately 1 gallon for every 3 gallons of biodiesel)

Both the waste water and Glycerine have small amounts of methanol in them.

Crude glycerine from the biodiesel conversion process has three possible uses:

Compost accelerator Methane booster in anaerobic digesters Soap production

Bangladesh perspective

Bangladesh is a small developing country with huge population

We are largely dependent on foreign oil. About 93% fuel are imported.

About 59.60% of the population has access to electricity which consume large amount of natural gas.

We should come with renewable and alternative fuel for sustainable future.

Govt. has planned to produce 10% of total energy from renewable alternative energy sources by 2020.

Conclusion

Recycling of waste cooking oil Making a contribution in diesel consumption Reduced toxics emission Creating an impact on oil market
