ABSTRACT
The production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil offers a triple-facet solution: economic, environmental and waste management. The new process technologies developed during the last years made it possible to produce biodiesel from recycled frying oils. Biodiesel with an added attractive advantage of being lower in price. Biodiesel production is worthy of continued study because of its environmentally beneficial attributes and its renewable nature. In the world, millions of oil used for frying foods are discarded each year into sewage systems. Thus, it adds to the cost of treating effluent or polluted waterways. This study considers aspects related to the feasibility of the production of biodiesel from waste oils in an attempt to help reduce the cost of biodiesel and reduce waste and pollution coming from waste oils. It also highlights the process used in the production of biodiesel from recycled oils, stressing the difference between biodiesel and petrodiesel and the optimal conditions for storage. From this study, it is clear that biodiesel is a safe, clean and environment friendly fuel which can be used in automobiles without a change in the configuration of the engine.
