UJI BIODIESEL DARI MINYAK GORENG BEKAS UNTUK BAHAN BAKAR MOTOR DIESEL
ABSTRACT: Used-frying oil in
snack and fast foods industries was considered as a waste and the amount grows
along with the industries. It still contains a high level of energy, but
its viscosity and flash point is
relatively high that make it is not suitable for diesel engine fuel. Moreover,
the used-frying oils mostly contains suspended as well as moisture. This
research was performed to evaluate the characteristics of the bio-diesel made
up of such oil by a trans-esterification process on a diesel engine in a comparison
with the normal diesel fuel. The results showed that the engine power run with
bio-diesel was 4.14% higher than did with the normal diesel fuel. However, it was observed that the bio-diesel
consumption was 9.5% higher than that of the normal diesel fuel for a specified
diesel engine running.
