Abstract

The utilization of biomass as an alternative energy source continues to gain attention, particularly in the form of solid briquettes with properties comparable to coal. In Indonesia, the co-firing program in coal-fired power plants (PLTU) promotes the use of biomass briquettes as supplementary fuel. King grass (Pennisetum purpureum), a fast-growing, non-food crop that thrives on marginal land, is a promising candidate. However, its low energy density limits practical application. This study aims to enhance the fuel quality of king grass through hydrothermal treatment and evaluate the effect of varying briquetting pressures on briquette properties. Briquettes were produced without pressure and with compaction pressures of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 kg/cm². Results show that higher briquetting pressure reduced moisture content from 3.99% to 2.98% and friability from 54.46% to 11.95%. While ash content and volatile matter were minimally affected, fixed carbon increased to 28.42%, and calorific value peaked at 3,923 kcal/kg. Hydrothermal treatment further improved calorific value, reduced ash content, and enhanced fixed carbon levels. These findings demonstrate that the combination of hydrothermal treatment and briquetting pressure significantly improves king grass briquette quality, supporting their potential as a sustainable co-firing fuel in coal-fired power plants.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of spindle speed on the wear rate of CNMG 120404 carbide cutting tools using a dry machining process without coolant. The specimens used were AISI 1045 steel shafts, The cutting tool used was a CNMG 120404 carbide with conditions assumed to be the same in each experiment. The machine used was a Gedee Weiler LZ-330 G lathe with fixed parameters of 0.2 mm/revolution feed and 0.4 mm cutting depth, as well as spindle speed variations of 450 rpm and 660 rpm. The cutting time was carried out in stages starting from 5, 10, 15, 20, to 25 seconds. In this study, the parameters observed included tool wear and the surface roughness of the turning results on the AISI 1045 specimen. Tool wear was measured using visual macro documentation, while surface roughness was tested with a surface roughness tester. The results showed that the lowest wear value occurred at 450 rpm with a cutting time of 5 seconds, amounting to 0.012 mm, while the highest wear was achieved at 660 rpm with a cutting time of 25 seconds, amounting to 0.036 mm. In terms of surface quality, the lowest roughness value was obtained at 450 rpm with a cutting time of 5 seconds, amounting to 2.43 µm, while the highest roughness occurred at 660 rpm with a cutting time of 25 seconds, amounting to 4.56 µm. This data shows that the higher the speed and the longer the cutting time, the greater the tool wear and the lower the surface quality due to friction and increased temperature in the cutting zone. Wear on carbide tools is more influenced by friction between the tool and the workpiece and the duration of cutting. The speed factor is not as dominant as the effects of friction and cutting duration.

Abstract

Background: Perkembangan energi terbarukan mendorong pemanfaatan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS) off-grid sebagai alternatif sumber energi. Gampong Reuleut Barat, Kecamatan Muara Batu, membutuhkan program positif bagi pemuda untuk meningkatkan keterampilan sekaligus mendukung ekonomi mikro. Program ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi pemuda dalam merancang dan membangun sistem PLTS off-grid sebagai backup PLN. Metode: Pelatihan dilaksanakan kepada pemuda Gampong Reuleut Barat melalui pemberian materi dasar PLTS, praktik merakit perangkat keras, dan evaluasi pemahaman dengan kuisioner. Kegiatan dilakukan secara partisipatif agar peserta aktif dalam setiap tahapan. Hasil: Peserta mampu merakit komponen PLTS secara bertahap sesuai materi pelatihan. Evaluasi kuisioner menunjukkan skor rata-rata pemahaman sebesar 66, menandakan peningkatan keterampilan teknis dan pemahaman konsep dasar. Kesimpulan: Pelatihan rancang bangun PLTS off-grid berhasil meningkatkan keterampilan pemuda desa sekaligus mendukung pengembangan ekonomi mikro berbasis energi terbarukan.
