| description | The persistence of inappropriate dumping of used cooking oil (UCO) containing triglyceride
into water flow has become a significant complication for the purification process in
wastewater treatment. UCO conversion using transesterification process still conquer as
famous method to produce biodiesel especially in an industrial scale. This study was
conducted to reveal the awareness in food premises in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia, in the
handling of UCO and support toward biodiesel production. A questionnaire was distributed
to 200 owners of various food premises which were randomly selected regardless of gender
or occupation. It was found that 13.1% of the participants generate 5 L of UCO per day,
demonstrating promising frequency. The survey revealed that 8.4% of respondents discarded
the UCO into the dustbin, while another 9.2% and 18.3% discarded the UCO into soil and
drainage system, respectively. The remaining 48.1% sold the UCO and or completely
consumed it during cooking. It is worth nothing that only 24% of respondents were expressed
the interest to donate UCO for free by collecting from their premises. Meanwhile, 64% were
reluctant to send UCO to the biorefinery centre due to the location distance of their premises.
This study reveals a lack of awareness among local respondents regarding efficient UCO
management, mandating the implementation of a proper UCO management workshop. |
