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.
TERMS
Biofuel/Biodiesel
WVO
Ethanol
Rapeseed
Catalyst (NaOH or KOH)
The Biochemical Process: Transesterification
Triglycerides (1) react with an alcohol such as ethanol (2) to give ethyl esters of fatty acids (3) and glycerol (4).

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.
