This paper gives details of work carried out in developing assembly of a prototype semi-continuous batch biodiesel production plant that is not only portable but also suitable to support rural. The new process technologies developed during the years made it possible to produce biodiesel from recycled frying oils comparable in quality to that of virgin vegetable oil biodiesel with an added attractive advantage of being lower in price. Population that wish to become self-manufacturer of biodiesel. Biodiesel is produce by transesterification reaction in which oil is mixed with methanol & potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and heating at 40-60 Celsius .The Crude Oil and Alcohol is use for Biodiesel and Glycerin. The new process technologies developed during the last years made it possible to produce biodiesel from recycled frying oils comparable inequality to that of virgin vegetable oil biodiesel with an added attractive advantage of being lower in price. The main aim of this research is to incorporate suitable design modifications in biodiesel plant to improve oil recovery and good quality of fuel from vegetable oil or animal fat using transesterification process.
