Abstract

Biodiesel is composed of a long chain of fatty acids that are extracted from lipid-containing biomass or feedstock. It is termed a complex task to produce biodiesel from the feedstock. There is a need to optimize the production process to make it a cost-effective method to produce biodiesel. In this research work, superstructure optimisation is performed by the Multi-Objective Optimisation Algorithm. The optimisation will result in a determination of optimal production of output with specified input raw material. The proposed model will be designed with an objective function to minimize the processing costs, maximize catalyst produced, maximize end products, and maximize overall profit.

Keywords: biomass, biodiesel production, superstructure, optimisation, multiple objective functions
