| Summary: | The everlasting demand of diesel and petrol and continuous rise in prices has forces
us to search for ecologically sustainable alternative energy source. Jatropha Curcas is
identified as one of the most appropriate supply for biodiesel due to the seeds
characteristic and advantages that it has.
This study aims to shed light on selecting the material that can be used to make
container for Jatropha Curcas oil. This study is an experimental study, which
objective is to select a suitable material that can be used to create a container for
Jatropha Cure as oil.
The methodology used in determining the container is via experiments that
investigates the effect of different containers on the oil in terms of chemical
composition. The outcome of this study shows that the most suitable material to be
used as container for Jatropha Curcas oil is thermostat plastic. However, other
material did not cause any significant changes on the oil itself. Thus, the decision to
select the material as the container is made solely based on the experiments done in
this project. |
