Abstract
As the fossil fuels are depleting day by day, there is a need to find
out an alternative fuel to fulfill the energy demand of the world.
Biodiesel is one of the best available sources to fulfill the energy
demand of the world. More than 350 oil-bearing crops identified,
among which some only considered as potential alternative fuels
for diesel engines.

Introduction :
The petroleum fuels play a very important role in the
development of industrial growth, transportation, agricultural
sector and to meet many other basic human needs. However,
these fuels are limited and depleting day by day as the
consumption is increasing very rapidly. Moreover, their use is
alarming the environmental problems to society.

Hence, the scientists are looking for alternative fuels. India is
importing more than 80% of its fuel demand and spending a
huge amount of foreign currency on fuel. Biodiesel is gaining
more and more importance as an attractive fuel due to the
depleting nature of fossil fuel resources.

Biodiesel emits fewer pollutants over the whole range of air–fuel ratio
when compared to diesel. Biodiesel can produce by using different
techniques such as ultrasonic cavitation, hydrodynamic cavitation,
microwave irradiation, response surface technology, two-step
reaction process etc.

What Is Biodiesel?
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel similar to conventional or ‘fossil’
diesel. Biodiesel can be produced from straight vegetable oil, animal
oil/fats, tallow and waste cooking oil. The process used to convert
these oils to Biodiesel is called transesterification.The largest possible
source of suitable oil comes from oil crops such as rapeseed, palm or
soybean.

Production of biodiesel :
Biodiesel is commonly produced by the transesterification of the
vegetable oil or animal fat feedstock, and other non-edible raw
materials such as frying oil, etc. There are several methods for
carrying out this transesterification reaction including the common
batch process, heterogeneous catalysts, supercritical processes,
ultrasonic methods, and even microwave methods.

Most biodiesel produced at present is produced from waste
vegetable oil sourced from restaurants, chip shops, industrial food
producers. Waste vegetable oil can often be sourced for free or
sourced already treated for a small price. (The waste oil must be
treated before conversion to biodiesel to remove impurities). The
result is Biodiesel produced from waste vegetable oil can compete
with fossil diesel.

Benefits of Biodiesel Use :
1. Biodiesel Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
2. Biodiesel Reduces Tailpipe Emissions.
3. Biodiesel Improves Engine Operation.
4. Reducing the use of fossil fuels.
5. Biodiesel Is Easy to Use.
6. Reducing of atmosphere pollution.
7.renewable source.

Biodiesel Blends :
Blends of biodiesel and conventional hydrocarbon-based diesel are
most commonly distributed.factor to state the amount of biodiesel
in any fuel mix:
•100% biodiesel is referred to as B100
•20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel is labeled B2

Blends of 20% biodiesel and lower can be used in diesel equipment with
no, or only minor modifications. Biodiesel can also be used in its pure
form (B100), but may require certainengine modifications to avoid
maintenance and performance problems. Blending B100 with
petroleum diesel may be accomplished by:

1.Mixing in tanks at manufacturing point prior to delivery to tanker truck
2. Splash mixing in the tanker truck (adding specific percentages of biodiesel
and petroleum diesel)
3. In-line mixing, two components arrive at tanker truck simultaneously.
4. Metered pump mixing, petroleum diesel and biodiesel meters are set to X
total volume.
