Vegetables Oils as Biodiesel
Vegetables Oils That Can Be Made Into A Biodiesel
Biofuel is a fuel comparable to petroleum based diesel fuel, but is made from vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is derived from plants and has similar fuel properties to diesel fuel. It can be used to make biodiesel. Biofuel is an alternative fuel that came from 100% renewable resources. It is made through a simple process of mixing some common and non toxic chemical so it is environmental friendly. The following are the list of vegetables oils that can turn into a biofuel.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is extracted from copra (dried meat, or kernel, of the coconut). Coconut oil has many types and uses. It is commonly used in cooking, manufacturing and skin treatment. Coconut oil has been tested for use as a feedstock for biodiesel to be used as a diesel engine fuel; it is typically blended to make biodiesel. It can be used as a fuel to reduce expenses and the dependence on imported fuels.
Peanut Oil
It is organic oil derived from peanut; it is most commonly used when frying foods. Peanut oil was also used as the original source of fuel for the diesel engine.
Palm oil
It is a form of edible vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the oil palm tree. Palm oil is also an important component of soaps, washing products, and other cosmetic products. Best of all, like other vegetable oils, it can be used to create biodiesel for internal combustion engine.
Corn oil
It is extracted from the germ of corn (maize). Commonly used for cooking and also known as a key ingredient in some margarines. Corn oil is also one source of biodiesel, It is expected to become a greater source of biodiesel and a backup source in case of large-scale soybean crop failures.
Repeseed Oil
It is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family). It is grown for production of animal feed, vegetable oil and also for biodiesel. Rapeseed oil can be used in manufacturing of biodiesel for powering motor vehicles.
Babassu Oil
Also known as cusi oil, a clear light yellow vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the babassu palm. It was also used in a blend with coconut oil and jet fuel to power one engine of a Virging Atlantic Boeing 747 during a flight test.
Arthichoke Oil
It is extracted from the seed of the Cynara Cardunculus (Cardoon). It is similar to safflower and sunflower. It also has attracted recent attention as a possible source of biodiesel.
Sunflower Oil
A non volatile oil expressed from the seed of sunflower. It is commonly used in cooking, and cosmetic formulation. It can also produce biodiesel, it is much cheaper than olive oil.
Soybean Oil
It is a primary source of biodiesel in United States.
Perilla Oil
It is obtained from the seeds of perennial herbs of the genus Perilla, Perilla oil can also be used for fuel.
Hemp Oil
It has many uses including paper, textiles and biodegrable plastics and it can also use as fuel.
Ben Oil
A vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Moringa Oleifera. An extremely edible oil that is suitable for biofuel.
Honge Oil
A tree thought to have originated in India. It was pioneered as a biofuel.
Jatropha Oil
A vegetable oil produced from the seeds of the Jathropa curcas. Jathropa Oil came from crushed seeds and can be processed to produce a high-quality biodiesel.
Copaiba Oil
Used as a cosmetic product in Brazil and a major source of biodiesel
Jojoba Oil
A cheap sustainable fuel that can serve as a substiture for petroleum diesel.
Milk Bush
It is a genus of plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. Milk bush can produce poisonous latex that can be converted to the equivalent of gasoline.
Petrolium Nut Oil
It is a tree that grows in the Philippines. The fruits are highly suitable for use in producing biofuel.
Biofuel can also be made from WVO (waste vegetable oil), which is previously used vegetable oil, like that which would be discarded from restaurants and delis. When using WVO to make Biodiesel there is an additional process that has to be undertaken to remove all the impurities, while this process would add to the overall cost of the fuel, it would not be prohibitive. It can be financially profitable to use WVO as a source for Biodiesel, but there are already other established industries using WVO in their manufacturing process.
To know more, visit www.wvodesigns.com. The goal of this site is to provide detailed design information relating to the use of Waste Vegetable Oil as fuel. Designs include vehicle conversion, collection systems and processing equipment. They have also developed centrifuge for processing WVO, WMO and Bio-diesel.
