The fossil fuel produces greenhouse gases (GHGs). Biodiesel could be the promising alternative with a 41% reduction of GHGs and provides 93% more usable energy. Oil2Wang™ system is an IoT system specifically designed for collection of used cooking oil (UCO) in housing communities to produce biodiesel as alternative green energy. Utilizing IoT, Oil2Wang™ kiosk ease the burden of households to sell minimal amounts of used cooking oil and collectors can come collect large amounts at intervals. To expand the awareness towards the zero carbon initiative, the Oil2Wang™ Smart Used Cooking Oil Collection Kiosk is vital for 24 hour per day and 7 days per week UCO collection in the communities.
The fossil fuel produces greenhouse gases (GHGs). Biodiesel could be the promising alternative with 41% reduction of GHGs, and provides 93% more usable energy. However, lack of the current biodiesel processing technology includes the upstream part which is the collection of fats (triglycerides), especially from waste cooking oil. Current used cooking oil (UCO) based biodiesel technology only focusing on the downstream part which is the transesterification process for the biodiesel production. The awareness of the public to recycle the UCO is currently uprising. However, the collection mechanism still cannot afford the large amount of UCO cumulatively from the community. As the solution, the Oil2Wang™ Smart Used Cooking Oil Collection Kiosk is needed to fill in the gap in the UCO collection systems to support the net zero carbon initiative.
Official data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) shows that in 2020, a total of 378,582 tons of biodiesel were exported, worth RM1.35 billion. Malaysias biodiesel (palm oil) business will increase rapidly because of increased fuel consumption, the ongoing depletion of natural resources, and economic growth. Therefore, the biodiesel industry needs the raw material that is UCO to be processed as biodiesel in large quantity continuously. The need of continuous and large amount of UCO for the biodiesel processing is really vital and need a proper collecting methods.
This invention highlighted the smart kiosk which is solar powered and operated with the Oil2Wang mobile applications of registered users. The kiosk will accept the UCO inserted by registered users after the specific user scans his/her unique QR code to the kiosk scanning camera. Then, the UCO will be identified as genuine UCO base on the density, then being graded for the quality base on the free fatty acid (FFA) content identified by the FFA sensor inside the kiosk. Besides, the UCO inserted by users also will be measured based on the weight and lastly the payment for the recycled UCO will be made through online payment gateway.
The biodiesel industry needs the raw material that is UCO to be processed as biodiesel in large quantity continuously. The need of continuous and large amount of UCO for the biodiesel processing is really vital and need a proper collecting methods. The Oil2Wang kiosk technology will cut the cost of the UCO collection method. Thus, the Oil2Wang™ technology will be the leading solution for the collections of UCO.
