Abstract :
Biodiesel production provides a cost effective solution to economic and environmental problems through waste management. This research gives an understanding of the Transesterification process and use of engineering knowledge in designing a Pilot Plant for the implementation of this process to convert waste cooking oil to Biodiesel. This Biodiesel that operates on Compression Ignition Engines without any modification in them. The research paper explains all the aspects and parameters used to design and fabricate a plant to bring down the industrial scale production process to domestic level; a small scale production unit which uses minimum power and provides a user friendly experience, yet keeping it cost effective. Biodiesel produced from this plant is tested and results are comparable with international standards.
