Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is considered as impurity in biogas. H2S could react to form sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) during the burning process. The corrosive property of these compounds possibly cause damage the power plant system. Overcoming this problem, activated carbon impregnated with KOH has been proven to work very well in adsorbing H2S. On the other hand, mangrove fruits pulp residue from the natural dyes extraction process has not utilized. Mangrove (Rhizopora stylosa) fruits contain about 50% fixed carbon which is possibly made as activated carbon. The purposes of this research were to determine the adsorption efficiency of H2S in biogas using activated carbon derived from mangrove fruits residue and to determine isotherm equilibrium constants for adsorption. The small scale adsorption devices consist of cooler, flow stabilizer, flow regulator, flow meter and column adsorber. At certain flow rate, biogas was sampled in every 10 minutes and then analyzed using portable H2S gas analyzer.  Temperatures of biogas entered the adsorption column were in the range of 33-34oC. The optimum biogas flow rate was 4 liter per minute (lpm) for 250 grams (16 cm of height) of activated carbon. We found the adsorption efficiency was decreased by time and still reached 79.6% for 50 minutes contact time. Based on coefficient of correlation value (R2) on isotherm model, Langmuir model is more suitable for the H2S adsorption of biogas in this study. We found the Langmuir equilibrium constant k was 0.033 and maximum adsorption capacity (x/m)max was 0.284 mg/mg.

Abstract

ABSTRAK. Konsumsi energi pada sektor transportasi di Indonesia sangat besar dikarenakan penggunaan BBM yang sangat besar. Besarnya proporsi penggunaan BBM untuk transportasi juga diikuti dengan besarnya subsidi pemerintah untuk BBM. Data sepanjang tahun 2010-2020 menunjukkan realisasi subsidi BBM selalu lebih besar dibandingkan dengan yang dianggarkan. Sehingga perlunya alternatif untuk mengurangi konsumsi BBM pada sektor transportasi. Dari sisi teknis peluang penggunaan bioetanol generasi 1 (G1) berbahan molasses mudah di aplikasikan karena proses yang sederhana. Dari analisis ekonomi terlihaat bahawa projek ini layak dilakukan ketika NPV dan DCFROR bernilai positif, sehingga saat harga molasses 1.500,00/ Kg dan harga bioetanol 15.000,00/ liter projek ini layak dilakukan, begitu juga ketika harga molasses 2.061,00/ Kg dan harga bioetanol 16.000,00/ liter serta ketika harga molasses 2.061,00/ Kg dan harga bioetanol 15.000,00/ liter, namun ketika harga molasses 2.061,00/ Kg dan harga bioetanol 12.113,00/ liter projek ini tidak layak dilakukan karena NPV dan DCFROR bernilai negatif. Dari hasil simulasi tersebut diketahui bahwa harga molases dan bioetanol sangat berpengaruh terhadap realisasi substitusi BBM dengan bioetanol, selain itu ketersedian bahan baku yaitu molasses juga perlu diperhatikan untuk menjaga kontinuitas proses. Kata Kunci: Bahan Bakar, Bioetanol, Ekonomi, Transportasi  ABSTRACT. Energy consumption in the transportation sector in Indonesia is very large due to the very large use of fuel. A large proportion of the use of fuel for transportation is also followed by the number of government subsidies for fuel. Data throughout 2010-2020 show that the realization of fuel subsidies is always higher than the budgeted one. So the need for alternatives to reduce fuel consumption in the transportation sector. From a technical point of view, the opportunity to use bioethanol generation 1 (G1) which is made from molasses is easy to apply because of the simple process. From the economic analysis, it can be seen that this project is feasible when the NPV and DCFROR are positive, so when the molasses price is 1.500,00/Kg and the bioethanol price is 15,000.00/liter this project is feasible, as well as when the molasses price is 2.061,00/Kg and the price of molasses is 2.061,00/Kg. bioethanol 16.000,00/liter and when the price of molasses is 2.061,00/Kg and the price of bioethanol is 15.000,00/liter, but when the price of molasses is 2.061,00/Kg and the price of bioethanol is 12.113,00/liter this project is not feasible because of NPV and DCFROR have a negative value. From the simulation results, it is known that the price of molasses and bioethanol is very influential on the realization of the substitution of fuel with bioethanol, the availability of raw materials or molasses also needs to be considered to maintain the continuity of the process.Keywords: Fuel, Bioethanol, Economy, Transportation
