Daftar Isi:
- Methyl ester or biodiesel is an alkyl ester compound that is produced through an alkoholic process (transesterification),between triglycerides methanol or ethanol with the aid of alkaline catalysts into alkyl esters and glycerol. Methyl esteris produced through a transesterification reaction between used cooking oil and methanol with a mole ratio of 6:1, thereaction is accelerated using base catalyst. The method used in the production of methyl ester is pilot plant batch scalewhich adopts a large scale industry with modifications according to the desired design. Base catalyst variations werecarried out at 0,1% w/w, 0,3% w/w, 0,5% w/w, 0,7% w/w, and 0,9% w/w.The productions of methyl ester consists ofthree processes namely pre-treatment, transesterification reaction, and post-treatment. Quality test of methyl ester (posttreatment) consists of density, kinematic viscosity, total glycerol, and acid numbers. Known from the result of theresearch, the overall quality of methyl ester are appropriate according to the Indonesian National Standard on Biodiesel
