Low-cost alternative biodiesel production apparatus based on household food blender for continuous biodiesel production for small communities

Abstract Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) are sustainable biofuel that can alleviate high oil costs and environmental impacts of petroleum-based fuel. A modified 1200 W high-efficiency food blender was employed for continuous transesterification of various refined vegetable oils and waste cooking oi...
