THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIODIESEL IN PT. Sinarmas Biodiesel Energi

---

Global warming is being caused by humanity's insatiable use of fossil fuels as energy,
which artificially amplifies the natural greenhouse effect and global warming. This sparked a
desire in the scientific community to look into more environmentally acceptable alternative
fuels. One of the many options being taken into consideration right now is biodiesel. This
research is aimed to develop a biodiesel using a transesterification method in accordance
with the specification which validates the quality of the biodiesel by adding the right amount
of chemicals. This development used RBDPO and methanol with sodium methoxide as their
catalyst to create the biodiesel. After the results are obtained. This trial already shows a
good quality of biodiesel which already fits the parameter and gives a high yield percentage.
In this internship, we managed to produce biodiesel from Refined Bleached Deodorized
Palm Oil (RBDPO). By applying different dosing of methanol and sodium methoxide
continuously, the results of the end product demonstrated a good quality of biodiesel which
fulfilled the parameter specification criteria and resulted in high purity levels
