The study of heating value of fuel mass mixing between fat dregs and agricultural wasters

Abstract

This article examines the production of fuel mass derived from the mixtures between fat dreg fromgrease trap in food shops and agricultural wastes. Before mixing fat with agricultural wastes, we need to getrid the water in experimental fuel mass. Therefore, the fuel mass can light a fire continuously. Generally,vegetable oil has the value of heating energy about 35,000 kj / kg. Fat and oil from animal have the value ofheating energy about 37,000 kj / kg while fuel oil gives the value of heating energy about 39,000 kj / kg. Wecan see that fat dregs from grease trap in food shops mixing between plant fat and animal fat have the valueof heating energy slightly lower than fuel oil. However, blending agricultural wastes increase the heatingenergy value. Besides, this waste can make the fat becoming a solid. In addition, fuel in the form of solidhas a convenience for transportation and household consumption than liquid fuel.
