Description Bio dieselproduction costs are highly dependent on the feedstock costs. The cost of the fat or oil used to produce Bio diesel affects the cost of the finished product, up to 60%- 75%; therefore less-expensive raw materials are preferred. To produce biodiesel economically, a production facility must have access to low-value feedstock, Develop quality high-value co-products, and enjoy a cost-effective and high-yielding process. Two types of feed stocks i.e. Restaurant Grease and Waste cooking oil were used in the present study. The relsionship between relevant reaction variables i.e. catalyst amount, molar ratio of methanol to raw oil, reaction temperature, reaction time and product characteristics i.e. ester content and yield were explored In Particular, the influence of physical and chemical properties of the feed stock oils on acid/ alkaline catalysed transesterification process was determined. Under the optimal conditions biodiesel produced meets BIS and ASTM,specifications. Thus recycled restaurant Grease and used cooking oils offer a significant potential as an alternative low-cost Biodiesel feedstock. However, the restaurant grease contains higher impurities as well as the higher water content.
