“Methanol and alkalyst are additives that are essential in creating cleaner biofuel energy.
“This process is called ‘transesterfication’. After this process is complete, the biodiesel is further purified until it meets the benchmark of quality.
“We produce purified biodiesel that is non-tually sulr-free biodegradable diesel,” he added.
“Collecting used cooking oil has a huge direct and indirect impact on society, economy and the environment.
“Business operators earn extra cash by selling their used oil, and businesses as well as local councils spend less money cleaning up oil-clogged drains. Less filth means less chances of pests and rodents to breed and utlimately it keeps the drains and rivers clean, which means healthier living for everyone,” Jaafar said.
Residential network
He said despite the used cooking oil business having existed for the past two decades, it has barely scratched the surface involving residential units.
“Over the past two years, we have been working with several local councils to set up collection centres in schools, mosques and public housing (PPR) flats.
“So far, our campaign has seen very strong response from these communities and we hope we can expand this programme to many more residential areas, with more support from the Federal Govern-ment and other state governments,” he said.
