3. OVERVIEW
 Terms
 Biofuel (Research & Development)
 Mechanical Engineering
 Experiments and Results
 Safety and Procedure
 Experiments and Analysis
 Costs and Break-Even Analysis
 Conclusions and Future Directions

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.

6. TERMS
 Biofuel/Biodiesel
 WVO
 Ethanol
 Rapeseed
 Catalyst (NaOH or KOH)
 The Biochemical Process: Transesterification

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.
