Biodiesel Potentials of Waste Cooking Oil (WCO): Production, Content of Fuel Properties, and Effects on Engine Performance

The potential for biodiesel to become the main fuel in future seems be getting brighter with enactment of government policies related implementation Euro 4 standard. In addition, has also launched de-carbonization reduce greenhouse effect by referring International Maritime Organization (IMO) plan which sets a target reducing world carbon emissions 40% 2030 and 70% 2050. To answer this challenge, research aims find out bio-diesel production process utilizing waste cooking oil (WCO), next step is whether produced content properties that are following quality standards set government, final tested on test engine know value performance produced. two types methods used solve problem, first transesterification method, method commonly making biodiesel, utilizes catalyst separate pure from glycerol, using methanol NaOH catalysts. second experimental testing directly so resulting values including power, torque, SFC can known. obtained results form still included include Density, Viscosity, Flash Point, Pour Cetane Number. best torque B15 variation at speeds 1400 RPM 1600 RPM, effective power speed specific consumption 1000 speed. So it concluded mixing coconut into as an alternative good impact diesel performance.
