Purpose of the project

• GMIT Biodiesel Project is a non-profit research and production manufacturing.

• GMIT Biodiesel Project will collect and recycle waste vegetable oil (WVO) and produce useful consumer items.

• The project focuses to instruct chemical and mechanical engineering, production laboratory procedure, entrepreneurial thinking, and sustainable business.

• Furthermore, the project hopes to learn and teach society how to increase value while reducing pollution and waste.

TERMS

Biofuel/Biodiesel

WVO

Ethanol

Rapeseed

Catalyst (NaOH or KOH)

The Biochemical Process: Transesterification

Triglycerides (1) react with an alcohol such as ethanol (2) to give ethyl esters of fatty acids (3) and glycerol (4).

Pros Cons • GHG reduction • Low-cost feedstock • Ethanol is produced

from current plant growth; Methanol is derived from fossil fuel

• Economic benefits • Waste reduction • Positive energy balance

• Reduced fuel efficiency (1 to 2%)

• Biodiesel gels at low temperatures

• Potential to eat away rubber seals in engine or generator parts.
