Sustainable Diesel: Converting Waste Vegetable Oil into Usable Fuel

This project aims to design and prototype a batch reactor for converting waste vegetable oil from the Calvin College dining halls into a usable diesel fuel substitute. Key design considerations include cost-effectiveness, stewardship, and compliance with design norms. The process involves a two-step reaction: acid-catalyzed and base-catalyzed methods, followed by a thorough washing process to remove unwanted products, ensuring the production of pure biodiesel. This initiative promotes environmental sustainability and resource optimization.
