Abstract

Package boiler (PB) is a utility unit essential for producing steam by heating Boiler Feed Water (BFW) through the combustion of natural gas with air. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of heat loss on PB efficiency. To achieve this, direct and indirect methods were adopted, with data collected between 4 July and 29 August 2023. The results showed that PB efficiency in the fertilizer industry during this period ranged from 76.06% to 80.71%. On August 29, 2023, under optimal conditions, an efficiency of 80.71% was achieved, while a significant drop to 65.44% occurred during the 6th week on August 8, 2023, due to low oxygen (O2) levels. Flue gas analysis on August 29, 2023, obtained 3.64% excess O2, 11.17% carbon dioxide (CO2), and 0.04% carbon monoxide (CO). PB performance was influenced by heat loss from the dry flue gas, hydrogen (H2) content on flue gas, moisture in air and fuel, incomplete combustion, as well as radiation and convection phenomena.

Abstract

One of the most important steps in pulping is the cooking process, which serves to separate the cellulose and hemicellulose from lignin and other by-products. During the cooking process in the digester, various factors must be considered to create high-quality pulp. Among these factors, the H-Factor plays a significant role due to its impact on the kappa number and viscosity in the pulping process. A high H-Factor can also damage the strength of the pulp. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the effect of the H-Factor and active alkali on pulp yield and quality. The active alkali used was in line with the desired production objectives, as insufficient levels of active alkali can lead to a low yield of pulp. Meanwhile, pulp quality standards in the Pulp and Paper Industry included kappa number of 12-18 in the digester process, an approximate viscosity of 23 mPa.s, and the selection of H-Factor based on the desired production target.

Abstract

High Temperature Shift (HTS) Converter (104-D1) have a function to convert CO gas into CO2 in the ammonia unit. The presence of CO could be poisoning the catalyst in the ammonia converter. The performance of HTS (104-D1) was ideal if the percentage of CO outlet is above 3.41 mol % dry basis. The performance of HTS (104-D) was influenced by operating conditions (pressure and temperature) and the ratio of steam to carbon. The increase in temperature in HTS (104-D1) can increase in the reaction rate and a decrease in CO conversion due to a decrease in catalyst performance. The research aims to find out how the performance of HTS (104-D1) after Turn Around process (catalyst replacement) that reviewed based on the operating conditions and the resulting CO conversion. The analysis was carried out by comparing the CO conversion from the actual data with the CO conversion from the design data by using the regression equation method to predict the lifetime of the catalyst. CO conversion obtained from the design data is 69.42 %. Conversion of actual data in June, July, August, September and October was 67.43 %; 78.32 %; 77.93 %; 77.75 %; and 77.40 %. The lifetime of the HTS catalyst (104-D1) PUSRI-IIB was estimated to be used up to 5 years after Turn Around process.

Abstract

Biodegradable bioplastics are the latest solution to the problem of conventional plastics which hurt the environment. Types of biodegradable bioplastics, namely starch-based plastics and cellulose-based plastics, have been developed in many studies. Cellulose can be made into biodegradable bioplastics by adding starch, plasticizers, and strengthening materials with certain variations. This research aims to determine the effect of mixing glycerol plasticizer and the concentration of chitosan on the biodegradable bioplastics produced. The variables observed started from elongation, Young's modulus, density, tensile strength, biodegradability, and water resistance. The best biodegradable bioplastics results for density, tensile strength, and percent elongation values were obtained with variations of 60% glycerol and 3 gram chitosan of 5.62 g / mL, 163.5 KPa and 4.26 KPa; Young's modulus for variations of 20% glycerol and 3-gram chitosan is 45.17 KPa; the water absorption capacity of variations of 20% glycerol and 0.5-gram chitosan is 81.5%; and the bioplastic mass degraded at a variation of 40% glycerol and 3-gram chitosan at 49.21%.

Abstract

Fossil fuels cause several problems, such as energy scarcity and air pollution. Charcoal briquettes are sought by People around the world as an alternative to fossil fuels due to the high calorific value of briquettes. This phenomenon brings the briquettes prospect that is applied as solid fuel. This research aims to determine the effect of biomass feeds on the quality of briquettes. The research stages: carbonization at the temperature of 300 ºC for 1 hour with raw materials such as pure rice husk (RH) and a mixture of rice husk and sugarcane bagasse (RH:SB) with ratios of 1, 1.5 and 2. In the casting process, charcoal  RH and RH:SB were varied with durian seed flour adhesive (20% weight of feed). The results of the raw material values for pure RH and RH:SB mixture are (3,505; 3,043; 2,733 cal/gr) and (5,094; 4,161; 4,283 cal/gr),  which meet the regulation ESDM (4000-5000 kal/gr) for all RH: SB samples. The improvements in briquette quality are also found in the water content parameters of the briquettes, the water content of pure RH and RH: SB mixture is (10.44%, 10.15%, 6.6%) and (5.59%, 5.57%, 5.2%), where all RH:SB briquette samples comply with SNI (<8%). The content of ash, volatile matter and bound carbon still do not meet standards. It is recommended to vary the temperature to achieve the optimal temperature in order to obtain ash content, volatile matter and fixed carbon, which can meet the standards.

Abstract

Multilayer plastic waste is difficult to biodegrade, causing environmental problems. An alternative to processing multilayer plastic waste is to separate aluminum from the polymer using a delamination process with acid solvents. In this study, a combination of chemical (acid solvents), thermal (90oC), and mechanical (stirring at 300 rpm) methods was employed to evaluate the efficiency of delamination of multilayer plastic packaging. Several weak acid solvents, including acetic acid, citric acid, and formic acid, were tested at a concentration of 30% and a reaction time of 10 minutes. The method involved immersing cut multilayer plastic samples into acid solutions under controlled conditions, followed by filtration and drying to recover the aluminum layer. The best result was obtained using 30% formic acid, which successfully separated and recovered 0.940 g or 87% of aluminum from a 1.08 g multilayer sample. This process demonstrates an effective, relatively low-cost approach to enhance the recyclability of multilayer plastic waste, contributing to a more sustainable plastic waste management strategy.
