Abstract

Research of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) bleaching optimization using activated charcoal and bentonite on biodiesel synthesize had been done. The aim of this research is to find optimum condition of bleaching process, by making variation of activated charcoal and bentonite ratio as adsorbent (1:0, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20 and 0:1), temperature (non heated, 40-50oC, 60-70oC, 80-90oC and 100-110oC) and time (1; 1,5; 2; 2,5 and 3 hours). The results of this research will be used as optimal conditions for synthesizing biodiesel. Optimum condition was determined by observing the lowest absorbent which was measured by using spectronic-20 on 445 nm. Results showed that optimum activated charcoal and bentonite adsorbent ratio was 0:1, optimum temperature was 100- 110oC and optimum time was 3 hours.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of a designed three-phase electrical distribution system for a dedicated Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) plant. Based on data extracted from a single-line diagram and load schedule, a significant inherent load imbalance of 9.15% was identified. This paper outlines a four-stage methodology to investigate the consequences and propose a solution. The methodology includes a system audit, simulation-based consequence analysis of energy losses and motor derating, design of a no-cost phase-swapping mitigation strategy, and a techno-economic evaluation. The proposed passive balancing reduces the load imbalance to 1.32%. The study highlights the critical importance of meticulous load scheduling during the initial design phase to enhance system efficiency, ensure equipment longevity, and achieve significant operational cost savings without capital expenditure.
