Abstract

Propylene glycol or 1,2-propadienol is an organic compound which has low toxicity and good formulation properties. Propylene glycol can be used as a preservative or solvent in the food industry, softener or moisturizer in the cosmetic industry, drug formulas in the pharmaceutical industry, additives that function as viscosity and color stabilizers in the paint industry, and others. Application of propylene glycol is vast, so that the demand for propylene glycol increases from year to year. However, until now, all propylene glycol needs in Indonesia still rely on imports. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a propylene glycol factory in Indonesia. The pre-design of this plant is carried out in several steps, namely collecting data sources to support the establishment of the plant, calculating mass and energy balances, calculating heat and mass exchange networks, calculating and designing hydrogenation reactors and their supporting accessories, and economic analysis. In the pre-design of this plant, a reactor was designed in the form of a hydrogenation reactor which functions as a reaction site for acetol with hydrogen gas. The type of reactor used is a fixed bed multitube reactor with a temperature of 300 ° C and a pressure of 14 bar. The hydrogenation reactor has 48 tubes, 5,0627 m high, 0,4382 m outside diameter, and uses skirt support.Keywords: Propylene glycol, glycerol, hydrogenation reactor, economic analysis

Abstract

Biosurfactants are surfactants that are synthesized by microorganisms using organic materials and have biodegradable properties, making them environmentally friendly. One of the applications of biosurfactants in the recovery of petroleum. This study aims to determine the type of biosurfactant produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria using crude palm oil as the main carbon source, to determine the effect of variations in pH and CPO concentration on surface tension reduction and emulsification, and compare the best biosurfactant with surfactant synthesis. The production of biosurfactants has 3 stages, namely the bacterial preparation, the biosurfactant production, and the analysis in the form of surface tension, emulsification, crude oil removal, and FTIR. The best biosurfactant was obtained at pH 7 and a carbon source concentration of 3% v/v with surface tension and emulsification values ​​of 42.49 mN/m and 58%, respectively. The pH value and CPO concentration can affect the growth in the biosurfactant production process, thus also affecting the surface tension and emulsification values. The biosurfactants obtained were rhamnolipid biosurfactants. The biosurfactants produced in this study have lower crude oil recovery capabilities than synthetic surfactants with crude oil removal values ​​of 57.78% and 79.34%, respectively.
