4. 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.
7. Triglycerides (1) react with an alcohol such as ethanol (2) to give ethyl esters of fatty acids (3) and glycerol (4).
10. 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.
