    Perengkahan Katalitik Palm Fatty Acid Distillate Menjadi Biofuel Dengan Katalis Fe/Zeolit
    (2013-04-25) Firmandani, M. Arief; Zahrina Ida; Yenie Elvie
    Nowdays, fuels needs in Indonesia are increased instead the productions of fuels are decreased. 94 Palm Oil Indusitries in Indonesia produce Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) 750 thousands tons a year. PFAD can be conversed into biofuel by catalytic cracking process. In this research Fe/Zeolite catalyst is used by the compositions 0% to 1,5% by rates of agitations 300 to 600 rpm, the temperature is 380oC and the flowrate N2 is 150 ml/minute. Biofuels was obtained by the higest yield (%) is 88% and the conversion is 58,8% on the concentration of Fe/Zeolite is 0,5% and rate of agitation is 500 rpm. The compositions of Biofuel gained are 9,76% Gasoline, 57,06% Kerosene and Diesel.
