Biodiesel Production from Rubber Seed Oil as An Alternative Energy Source – A Review

Biodiesel is one of alternative energies that can be used to overcome problem caused by limited amount fossil fuels reserved. made from rubber seed oil has high potencies in Indonesia. The availability quite much with more than 3-million-hectare plantation area. production biodiesel been carried out several researchers using various methods. Therefore, this study was conducted as a review obtain optimum operation conditions and effect antioxidant addition production. Production methods observed are esterification-transesterification, stage transesterification, situ transesterification Types added TBHQ, D-TBHQ, BHA, BHT, PG, OG. Esterification-transesterification chosen the most effective method producing minimum yield 96.4%. Antioxidant TBHQ 1000 × 10-6 (ω) dosage selected increase induction period become 6.41 hours, fulfilling SNI 7182-2015 standard, which 6 hours. Standard reference for observing parameters 7182-2015.
