Abstract

The production costs of biodiesel based on vegetable oil is not economical, so it is difficult for biodiesel to compete with petrodiesel. Waste cooking oil can be used as a source of raw materials for biodiesel production. This research aims to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil. The initial stage is to pretreatment of waste cooking oil. At this step, the waste cooking oil is filtered to separate impurities from the raw material. After that, it is heated to 100 oC to remove the water content. The second stage is transesterification. At this stage, the reaction time remains for one hour at a temperature of 65 oC. the product is centrifuged to separate the catalyst. The highest yield was obtained in the 12: 1 molar ratio variable and the amount of catalyst 3%, which was 0.922. Yield obtained ranged from 0.853-0.922. An increase in the molar ratio is significant enough to increase the amount of yield. However, increasing the amount of catalyst especially from 2% to 3% is not significant enough to increase biodiesel yield. The characteristics of biodiesel produced are in accordance with SNI Biodiesel, density 870 Kg / cm3, viscosity 4.25 cSt, flash point 170, and acid number 0.4 mg-KOH/g biodiesel.

Abstract

The pipeline network in the petroleum industry is very susceptible to corrosion.  Corrosion problems can cause losses that are not small financially.  Corrosion that occurs in underground pipes can be in the form of external corrosion on the outer surface of the pipe caused by acid content in the air or in the soil or internal corrosion inside the pipe caused by petroleum content in the form of water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).  Corrosion causes the useful or service life of these pipes to be shorter than expected.  This study aims to measure the Remaining Service Life (RSL) of the petroleum distribution pipeline as an initial step of preventive action to avoid fatal consequences of corrosion problems.  In this study, ultrasonic testing was used as one of the Non Destructive Testing (NDT) methods to check the condition of the petroleum distribution pipe's wall.  In this study, it is found that the Remaining Service Life (RSL) of the pipeline under investigation is 25 years.
