| Summary: | Determination of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME)
content in petroleum diesel blends and monitoring of unreacted
glycerides in biodiesel after transesterification are important
aspect of blending process and production as well as quality
control of distribution operations. In this study, fast check
analysis method with special measuring device and chemical
solvent mixture were developed to provide on-site analysis
check for biodiesel quality monitoring. Biodiesel Test Kit have
shown comparable result with ASTM D7371 with correlation
coefficient (R2
> 0.99) for biodiesel-diesel blends B5, B10 and
B20. Result has indicated biodiesel sample from various
feedstock such as Palm, Jatropha and Soybean are not affected
the accuracy of biodiesel test kit. The use of Triglycerides Test
Kit in determination of triglyceride content in biodiesel from
various feedstock have shown good correlation coefficient (R2
>
0.99) for triglycerides 3, 4 and 5%(v/v). Again, biodiesel derived
from Palm, Jatropha and Soybean do not affect the accuracy of
triglycerides test kit. The developed methods are providing fast,
simple and affordable on-site fast check analysis in measuring
FAME content in diesel and triglycerides content in |
