Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) are the most effective catalysts for olive oil due to its low FFA content. Base-catalyzed transesterification works best, eliminating the need for acid pre-treatment. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel unit automates catalyst dosing and reaction control, achieving efficient conversion, even from lower-grade or waste olive oils, ensuring fuel quality and stability.
