【 摘 要 】

Performance of prototype portable bio-adsorber has been evaluated. This tool is designed to purify the waste of cooking oil by passing the cooking oil into the adsorber column on the prototype portable bio-adsorber, which has been filled with bagasse charcoal bio-adsorbent. Finally the waste cooking oil that has been through the purification process will be accommodated in tub products and analyzed levels of free fatty acids before and after the purification process takes place to know the efficiency of the prototype portable bio-adsorber. The result of this activity is a prototype portable bio-adsorber with 70 cm pipe height and 3 liters capacity of feed to operate in batch and can accommodate 800 gram of baggase charcoal as bio-adsorbent with the efficiency for reduce free fatty acid is 43% and also can reduce the color of cooking oil, so the color of waste cooking oil also becomes more clean but the results obtained are not maximized, therefore it needs a continuous process for the process of purifying the cooking oil in order to increase the efficiency of the prototype portable bio-adsorber.
