This paper presents the study of the transesterification of palm oil via heterogeneous process using montmorillonite KSF as heterogeneous catalyst. This study was carried out using a design of experiment (DOE), specifically response surface methodology (RSM) based on four-variable central composite design (CCD) with α (alpha) = 2. The transesterification process variables were reaction temperature, x1 (50–190 °C), reaction period, x2 (60–300 min), methanol/oil ratio, x3 (4–12 mol mol−1) and amount of catalyst, x4 (1–5 wt%). It was found that the yield of palm oil fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) could reach up to 79.6% using the following reaction conditions: reaction temperature of 190 °C, reaction period at 180 min, ratio of methanol/oil at 8:1 mol mol−1 and amount of catalyst at 3%.
