Particulate matter (PM) is one of the major pollutants emitted by diesel engine which have adverse effects on human health. Accordingly, many researches have been done to find alternative fuels that are clean and efficient. Biodiesel is preferred as an alternative source for diesel engine which produces lower PM than diesel fuel. However, the manufacturing cost of biodiesel from vegetable oil is expensive. Therefore, using waste cooking oil (WCO) for biodiesel would be more economical and sustainable solution. The characteristics of direct injection diesel engine in term of the PM have been investigated experimentally in this study. The experiments were conducted using single cylinder diesel engine with different speed (1200 rpm, 1500 rpm, 1800 rpm, 2100 rpm, 2400 rpm) at constant load. PM emission of WCO B100 and diesel fuel was compared and the effect of PM components such as soluble organic fraction (SOF) and soot were studied. The result showed WCO B100 reduces the PM emission at all engine speed. Furthermore, both fuels showed highest reduction of PM concentration at moderate engine speed of 1500 rpm.

Urea dosing strategy for SCR is studied for a diesel engine fuelled with bio-diesel BD20. Bio-diesel BD20 is consisted of biofuels made from waste cooking oil and national V diesel, and biofuels accounts for 20% by volume. The results show that, bio-diesel engine torque decreases by a maximum of 0.55%, brake fuel consumption rate increases by a maximum of 0.53% ,when the urea dosing strategy is adjusted and the engine and SCR are not changed. ESC tests show that, the maximum of NOXconversion ratio is 95%, the minimum is 57%, and the average value is 74% under ESC 12 conditions except idling, the maximum of HC decrease ratio is 74%, the minimum is 35%, and the average value is 55%, when the urea is dosed. NOXemission is 1.55 g/(kW·h) in ESC test, NOXemission is 2 g/(kW·h) in ETC test, and NH3slip is lower than 10×10-6, which proves that the NOXemission from the engine fuelled with BD20 can meet national emission standards V by adjusting the urea dosing strategy.
