Abstract

Today petroleum reserves are running low along with the increasing demand of fuel transportation and industries, therefore we are required to find alternative fuels, one of which is derived from vegetable oil, namely Green Diesel. Green diesel is a product mixture of hydrocarbons such as diesel which is produced through a cracking process using catalyst as reaction accelerator. The catalyst is Ni/Al2O3. Aimed to understand the effect of temperature variations in palm oil cracking process using Ni/Al2O3 catalyst to the product viscosity. The cracking process is carried out using a batch reactor with temperature variations of 400 oC and 460 oC, for 10 minutes calculated from the target temperature achieved which is 400 oC. The highest amount of product acquired from 400 oC which is 20.845 gram from the total of 30 grams raw material, the product of 400oC is the only suitable density 0.8523 g/ml which is inside the range of green diesel standard 0.8150-0.8600 g/ml, and while the product of 400oC or 460oC does not have suitable viscosity 6,4563 cSt and 1,4305 cSt which are not inside the range of green diesel standard 2-4.5 cSt.
