Abstract:
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.
