M.G. MOHIDEEN ABDUL KHADER, G. ABHISHEK, G. PRIYA AND D.MAGESH PETER

Abstract

The waste fishes of Sardinella fimbriata collected from the local fish market at Cuddalore was used for the Biodiesel fuel (B-10) production and the fuel was tested to find out Density(@15°C in gm/cc), Water content, Kinematic Viscosity (@ 40oC), Flash point, Cloud point, Acidity (mg of KOH/g), Copper strip Corrosion (@ 100oC for 3 hrs), Ash, Carbon residue, Sulphur content, Calculated Cetane Index (CCI) and Final Boiling point. All the values obtained were on par with ASTM specifications (D7467-10) and also Indian Standards specified for Automotive Diesel fuel (BS II) (IS 1460: 2005) and Biodiesel (B- 100) (IS 15607: 2005). Therefore, Sardinella fimbriata can be used in Biodiesel fuel production and thereby serving as a suitable alternative for existing conventional petroleum diesel.
