Identification of Biodiesel Composites from Waste Cooking Oil Using Gas Chromatographic Method

The aim of this project is to transfer knowledge on production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil then the biodiesel is used as a fuel to fire the burner of frying pan for crackers. The project was initially an experimental work of processing the waste cooking oil into biodiesel in the laboratory. The pilot project was built through this knowledge transfer program with the participation of a small local fabricator in Batu Pahat. This continuous biodiesel plant produces a biodiesel for the chip cracker factory. The biodiesel was blended with diesel oil to get B5 and B10 grade biodiesel. The application of this biodiesel has enabled the company to use its waste cooking oil without having to dispose it and this has save cost to the company. The other advantage is that it has significantly help to preserve environment and encourage green practice. The biodiesel plant has also motivated the company towards thinking about environment and also alternative energy thus sustaining its operation. The project benefits both the university and the industry
