Abstract

Biomass-based briquettes offer a renewable energy alternative that can help reduce CO₂ emissions. Coconut shells and coffee grounds are promising waste materials due to their high calorific value. This study aimed to optimize the composition and carbonization time in producing briquettes from these two materials. The briquettes were prepared following SNI 01-6235-2000 and export briquette standards. The process included drying, carbonization at 300 °C for 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 minutes, sieving, mixing, molding, and drying. Coconut shells and coffee grounds were mixed at weight ratios of 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, and 5:5 with a total of 46.5 grams and 8.5 grams of adhesive. Briquette quality was evaluated based on moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, density, calorific value, and fixed carbon. The 9:1 composition yielded the highest calorific value of 6,472 cal/g, while a carbonization time of 90 minutes produced the best calorific value of 6,504 cal/g. The results show that a high proportion of coconut shells with limited coffee grounds and optimal carbonization time can produce briquettes with high energy potential, suitable for use as an alternative fuel.

Abstract

This study develops a simulation-based techno-economic framework for designing an onshore gas trunkline system to accommodate production from newly developed wells in the X and Y Fields. The system transports 35 MMSCFD of untreated natural gas containing approximately 60 mol% CO₂ and 70 ppm H₂S, where high acid gas content and declining wellhead pressure impose constraints on pressure delivery, flow velocity, material selection, and lifecycle cost. Steady-state hydraulic simulations were performed using UniSim R490 to evaluate early- and mid-life production scenarios based on pressure drop and erosional velocity ratio (EVR) in accordance with API RP 14E. Comparative analysis of candidate pipeline diameters shows that a 12-inch trunkline maintains a minimum delivery pressure of 50 psig while keeping EVR below unity, thereby satisfying hydraulic and mechanical integrity requirements without excessive recompression. The integration of an onshore booster compressor mitigates reservoir pressure decline and sustains gas transport to the central processing facility. Material selection analysis identifies duplex stainless steel and SS 316 as technically viable options for CO₂-H₂S service under controlled operating conditions. Techno-economic evaluation indicates that the selected configuration minimizes total lifecycle cost relative to alternative designs, with estimated CAPEX of USD 228.43 million and annual OPEX of USD 142.19 million. The results demonstrate that integrated hydraulic optimization, sour-service material selection, and economic assessment provide a robust and economically optimized design approach for onshore sour gas pipeline systems.

Abstract

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a critical urban pollutant with severe health implications, primarily driven by vehicular emissions in high-density traffic zones. This study investigates the spatial dispersion of CO along the main road located towards the south of the Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) Seturan Depok intersection, extending 150 meters to the south (Jalan Seturan Raya) in Condongcatur Sleman Yogyakarta, aligning with specific sampling positions located directly amidst the traffic stream to capture immediate exposure levels. This research addresses the limitations of deterministic approaches based on the advection-diffusion equation, which often fail to fully account for the random fluctuations of atmospheric turbulence inherent in complex urban environments. To address this, the study integrates direct field measurements with a probabilistic algorithm that treats the diffusivity coefficient as a random variable governed by the Peclet number. The results demonstrate that the Monte Carlo simulation achieves a predictive accuracy (R2 = 0.9393) which, while slightly lower than the analytical model (R2 = 0.9522), remains highly robust as it successfully accounts for the chaotic, random nature of real world atmospheric turbulence. Furthermore, the simulation identifies a critical high-risk zone within 40 meters of the source where concentrations consistently exceed 35 mg/m³ due to diffusion-dominated transport.
