Abstract

An NPK plant is a facility that produces NPK fertilizer through a manufacturing process specifically designed to create fertilizer with a special formulation. However, in the production process, the feeding of raw materials is still done manually, resulting in low productivity and high operational costs. Based on production performance tests conducted on September 15, 2024, the manual system only achieved an average of 1.34 tons/hour, or 47% of the production target of 3 tons/hour. Therefore, a transportation system is needed to transport the materials, given the limitations of human labor capacity in terms of material handling and employee safety. This study aims to design an automatic feeding system to maximize production capacity up to 3 tons per hour. The system design begins with analyzing losses due to low productivity of the manual system, analyzing factory requirements, designing the main components of the feeding system, such as the hopper, weigher, and conveyor belt, equipped with an on-off control-based system to ensure consistent raw material flow. Technical design was carried out through visualization using AutoCAD and Visio software, solid flow simulation using Altair EDEM software, and economic feasibility analysis by calculating the Return on Investment (ROI) and Payback Period (POT). The calculation results show that this feeding system has a ROI of 40.8% and a POT of 2.05 years, indicating that the designed system is economically viable for implementation.

Abstract

The growth and development of the population have significantly accelerated economic progress within society. Consequently, many new businesses have emerged, including commercial laundry services. One of the substances found in laundry wastewater, phosphate can cause eutrophication, which disrupts the balance of aquatic ecosystems. One method that can be developed to address this issue is adsorption technology. The aim of this research was to lower the phosphat content and to meet the Regulation of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5 of 2014. The increasing number of coffee shops generates coffee grounds that have the potential to be processed into activated carbon. Additionally, fly ash a by-product of coal combustion contains silica and can be used as an adsorbent. The activated carbon is activated using 0.1 N NaOH and combined with fly ash in various compositions: 2:8, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, and 8:2. Besides the variation in composition, contact time is also varied 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, and 150 minutes. The observed parameters include pH and phosphate concentration at each contact time. The research results show that the optimal composition is 0.2AC:0.8FA with the highest phosphate removal efficiency of 60.3% at 150 minutes contact time and a pH of 7.1. However, the final phosphate concentration has not yet met the quality standard of 2 mg/L set by the Regulation of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5 of 2014.
