Abstract

FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) is an alternative fuel that is still limited in its application to engines because its low oxidation stability affects the quality of biodiesel storage. A solution to overcome this problem is the partial hydrogenation process in which polyunsaturated FAMEs react with hydrogen, and a catalyst breaks down unsaturated bonds which are oxidation determinants. The use of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst is more advantageous due to its lower cost and higher activity. In this research, partial hydrogenation was carried out in a trickle-bed reactor. The objective of the research is to investigate the effect of operating conditions on FAME conversion. The experimental result shows that the partial hydrogenation of polyunsaturated FAMEs in a trickle bed reactor broke down the polyunsaturated bonds (C19:2) of FAME’s into monounsaturated bonds (C19:1) and saturated bonds (C19:0). The conversion of polyunsaturated FAMEs reaches 8.93% under the inlet pressure of 0.7 MPa, the inlet temperature of 160°C, the hydrogen flowrate of 250 ml/min, the biodiesel flowrate of 0.667 ml/min, and the catalyst size of 1.5 mm.
