Abstract
The biodiesel production of Palm Sludge Oil uses small-scale production machines (50-70 litters) obtained 91.30% yield. Biodiesel is able to replace diesel oil (HSD) as a fuel boiler for industrial use based on the quality parameters analyzed including methyl ester content, calorie value, flash point, viscosity and density. The production scheme carried out economics analysis includes Net Present value, Internal Rate of Return (compare to bank interests rate) and simple payback period shows this business feasible to be applied
