The effect of waste cooking oil methanol molar ratio on yield and properties of biodiesel produced in a mini plant
Azhar food factory used a lot of cooking oil at least 144 tonne per year for frying and the company produce waste cooking oil about 54 tonne per year and WCO need to dispose in a suitable way without harming the environment. One of the alternative methods proposed is by converting the WCO into …

Relationship of moulding pressure and weigh of granulate in improving the mechanical and characteristics of biopolymer from renewable resources
Waste cooking oils are problematic disposal especially in the developed countries. Options for disposing of waste cooking oil are limited. Pouring waste cooking oil down to the drain or sewers leads to clog and odour as well as damage wastewater leading to problems for humanlife. Thus, in this …

Techno-economic optimization and environmental life cycle assessment of microgrids using genetic algorithm and artificial neural networks
… supercritical biodiesel production process from waste cooking oil (WCO) using methanol in the presence of propane as a co-solvent was technically analyzed using Aspen Plus software. In the fourth paper, a system dynamics model of the cast iron foundry process was developed and validated with the …
