Abstract

We conducted a test of a direct burning of crude Jatropha oil (CJO) and pitch in a commercial boiler system. The fuel, crude Jatropha oil is not biodiesel which comes from transesterification process of bio oil, but it is pure plant oil like cooking oil. The higher heating value (HHV) of the CJO is 39.3 MJ/kg (9380 kcal/kg) and is lower than that of commercial heating oil, 44.0 MJ/kg. The kinematic viscosity of CJO is 36.2 mm2/s at 40 °C and 8.0 mm2/s at 100 °C. The burner used in the test is a commercial burner for a commercial heating oil and its capacity is 140 kW (120,000 kcal/h).
