Abstract

Malaysia produces 0.5 tons of palm biodiesel per month, which has great potential to be transformed into valuable fuels for electricity generation by using a micro gas turbine (MGT). The MGT is an alternative power generation unit that is capable to generate the electricity in the range of 10 to above 50 Kilowatt. This unit comprises of automobile turbocharger with a combustion chamber connected in axial between its compressor and turbine. The MGT is able to achieve a maximum approximate temperature value, to 520 517.4°C by using diesel fuel. Next by using B20 Palm Methyl Ester (PME) a maximum approximate temperature is 500499.8°C, B15 Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) at 485.6°C and B30 Jatropha Methyl Ester (JME) at 439.7°C. The reduction percentage of biodiesel temperature at a maximum level compared to diesel was 11.4% for B30 JME, 6.1 % for B15 CME and 3.4 % for B20 PME. Significant aspect here, the knowledge about this reduction rate is established that can be help be help as a new technology in a future.
