On the other side of the CPO parit which is a waste from the manufacturing process of palm oil has a high potential to be used as raw materials for biofuels. This research aims to study the catalytic activity of Ni/zeolite on cracking reaction CPO parit into biofuel to the effects of temperature and percentage of catalyst (based on feedback) as well as the physical characterization. The research was in the temperature range 300oC to 360oC and the percentage of catalyst (based on feedback) 0.33%, 0.25%, 0.2%. Characterization of catalysts using XRD and analysis of components in the product using GCMS (Gas Cromatography Mass Spectra). At the reaction temperature of 360oC and 0.20 percentage catalyst that produces the greatest yield of 20%. The resulting product is generally in the form of diethyl ether, octane, pentadecane. The results of product characteristics CPO parit cracking process known density: 0.848gr/cm3, viscosity: 1.7mm2/s, and a flash point at 48oC.otherbiofuelscatalytic crackingCPO paritGCMSNi/ZeoliteXRDstudent Paper Post Degree
