Abstract

There is a critical need for energy diversification due to over depended on fossil fuel and its daunting challenges. These impediments linked with fossil fuels have stirred the search for another energy sources and biodiesel is one of the potential alternatives. Biodiesel is renewable, non-toxic, environmental-friendly and an economically viable choice to solve the diminishing fossil fuels and its harmful environmental effect. It can be made from seeds oil plant, vegetable oils, animal fats, waste oils and algae. Here are various means for the production of the biodiesel oil which comprises; mechanical, chemical/solvent and enzymatic oil extraction methods etc. Report from the open literatures revealed that, all the extraction methods have its own advantages and disadvantages but in all, oil expeller machine which is based on mechanical means of extracting oil from the common wastage seeds oil plant prove to be efficient especially for large scale extraction. Thus, for efficient oil extraction from wastage seeds oil plant, oil expeller machine is appropriate. This research seeks to discuss an improve ways of maximum oil yield with an expeller machine from the wastage seeds oil plant commonly available in our environment.
