TESTING OF PROCESSING OIL WASTE TO BE BIODIESEL AS A FUEL ALTERNATIVE MOTOR DIESEL

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to desain and to test the biodiesel processing  unit from waste cooking oil, to examine the characteristics  of processed  biodiesel, and to apply the biodiesel on diesel engine to ensure that there will not be a problem  on the tested diesel engine. This research is an experiment  research  carried out by several steps, designing waste cooking-biodiesel processing unit, examining the characteristics ofbiodiesel made, and applying the biodiesel on diesel  engine. The result showed that the biodtesel processing  unit that was  made could work well to produce biodiesel. The biodiesel characteristics are comparable with diesel oil and the biodiesel is applicable on diesel engine without any problems accured.
