Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of temperature, sulfuric acid concentration, and mass ratio of methanol to sludge on the yield of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs).
Results indicated a significant interactive effect between temperature, acid concentration, and methanol to sludge mass ratio on the FAME yield for the insitu transesterification of primary sludge, while the FAME yield for secondary sludge was significantly affected by the independent effects of the three factors investigated.

The profile of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) of different vegetable oils produced under ultrasonic irradiation and conventional heating were compared.
The FAME profile resulted from the reaction catalyzed by sulfuric acid was almost the same with the one resulted from the reaction catalyzed by KOH, while boron trifluoride can give rise to many artifacts, thus is not a reliable catalyst.
