Parametric Algorithm For The Study Of Technical And Economic Feasibility Of Biodiesel Production Plants At Small And Medium Scale In Colombia

In Colombia The Mines, Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Ministries by administrative act and after consultation with the Intersectional Commission of Biofuels, decide to set percentages of biofuels over 10% as base on the mandatory mixtures since January 1 of 2013 [1], where for departments of Boyacá, Casanare, Cundinamarca, Meta, Guaviare, Vaupes and Amazonas, the mixture of biodiesel has to be 7% (B7). However, on the North of Santander, Vichada, Arauca and Guania, there is not a mandatory mixture for the use of biodiesel because of the low wealth of sources to produce biodiesel. The rest of the country is regulated under the B10 mixture according to Fedebiocombustibles [2]. Based on the mandatory mixture, for biodiesel production there is a global trend focus on the approach of waste cooking oil in substitution of the palm oil with the aim of not affect the human feedstock to obtain biodiesel [3]. It represents an opportunity to analyze if implement in a new biodiesel production plant is technical and economically feasible, considering the oil represents the greatest percentage in the breakdown cost analysis for biodiesel production
