Source of technology

• Researches conducted on Alternative Diesel Fuel
  and Diesel Additive from Waste Fats and Oils
• ASU Biodiesel Production, Research and
  Development Program.

Description of the technology

• Biodiesel is a clear liquid without unpleasant
  odor. It has the same properties as mineral
  fossil diesel oil. For this reason, it may be
  used in a standard diesel engine without
  additional modifications. It may also be blended
  with petroleum diesel to improve the quality of
  the latter.

4
Description of the technology

• The process of converting animal fats or
  vegetable oils into biodiesel is called
  transesterification. It is the process of using
  alcohol (methanol or ethanol) in the presence of
  a catalyst, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium
  hydroxide, to produce alcohol esters of animal
  fats with glycerin as a by-product.

Description of the technology

• Biodiesel is considered as a stand alone
  technology and is classified as hot discipline
  since the product is an environment-friendly fuel
  alternative obtained from animal fats and oils
  that can be used as substitute and/or additive to
  petroleum diesel. It has been established that
  the use of petroleum diesel results to the
  release of noxious gases that cause greenhouse
  effect and global warming.

Description of the technology

• Further, the production of biodiesel from waste
  fats and oils will help solve the problems of
  Meat Products Manufacturers and Food Servers in
  the province of Aklan, and even local government
  planners in the province of Aklan on proper
  disposal and conversion of waste products that
  contain animal fats and used cooking oils.
