ALGAL BIO-DIESEL POWER PLANT INTRODUCTION: Algae- most promising alternative renewable energy source available. It decreases the need for fossil fuels and thus makes our environment healthier. Algae oil is produced as much faster as 30 times than other biomass feedstock while its producing amount is up to 300 times more resulting 600 tons of bio-diesel per day which will produce 200MW of electricity per hour. MAJOR COMPONENTS IN ALGAE BIO-DIESEL POWER PLANT: 1. Algae plantation

sources‚ such as crop oils or animal fats which are then chemically converted into biodiesel (Habmigren‚ 2003). Unlike diesel‚ biodiesel contains no petroleum products and free of sulfur compounds and aromatics (Habmigren‚ 2003). Until today‚ it is still the only alternative fuel for motor vehicle. The biodiesel blends have ranged from 2/98% (B2)‚ 20/80% (B20)‚ to 100% (B100) (Hafman‚ 2003). The reasons biodiesel is a viable alternative to diesel from fossil fuels for trucks and buses are it can

Production of Biodiesel by Enzymatic Transesterification: using Waste Cooking Oil as feedstock and Candida Antarctica Lipase B as Biocatalyst. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTON The high cost of bio-diesel‚ compared to petroleum-based diesel‚ is a major barrier to its commercialization. It has been reported that 60-90% of bio-diesel cost arises from the cost of the feedstock oil (C.C. Lai et al.‚ 2005). Studies showed the potential of waste-cooking oil (WCO) as a material for biodiesel production (Sulaiman

purpose of this experiment was to compare biodiesel to other fuels. The ecotoxicity of biodiesel was estimated‚ along with that of other biofuels through the germination of seeds in the presence of different concentrations of fuels. This resulted in biodiesel having an average of 79.4% germinated seeds in a 10% solution of fuel‚ compared to other fuels whose percentage of germinated seeds decreased with higher concentrations of fuel. In addition‚ biodiesel was also synthesized and its heat of combustion

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Biodiesel manufacturing Industry Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel‚ produced from domestic‚ renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum‚ but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use‚ biodegradable‚ nontoxic. Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made
