Abstract

Di Indonesia, khususnya di sekitar Politeknik Negeri Bandung, sebagian besar sumber air berasal dari air tanah. Air tanah di lingkungan Politeknik Negeri Bandung memiliki pH asam (< 6), coliform > 2.400, dan colitinja positif. Proses pemanasan air kurang efektif untuk mengolah air tanah karena memerlukan waktu yang relatif lama, energi besar, dan tidak dapat meningkatkan pH air agar memenuhi standar air minum sebagaimana tercantum dalam Permenkes Nomor 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010. Untuk mengolah air tanah di lingkungan Politeknik Negeri Bandung, telah dibuat alat pengolahan air minum portabel dengan menggunakan konsep aliran dead-end filtration. Membran yang dipakai merupakan membran hollow-fiber, berjenis membran ultrafiltrasi berbahan dasar PVDF (Poly Vinylidene Flouride), ukuran pori 0,1μm, panjang membran 15cm, jumlah membran sebanyak 148 buah, dan dapat dioperasikan pada daya isap normal manusia. Permeat yang dihasilkan sesuai dengan standar PERMENKES No. 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010 dari parameter fisika, kimia, dan biologi. Lifetime membran diamati melalui jumlah permeat yang dihasilkan dari awal pemakaian membran hingga membran tersebut rusak. Lifetime pada alat pengolah air minum portabel ini adalah 38,879 L. Pengolahan air tanah menggunakan alat ini dapat menaikkan pH sebesar 12,78%, menurunkan konduktivitas sebesar 39,31%, dan menurunkan Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) 13,72%. Dari segi ekonomi, penggunaan alat ini dapat menghemat biaya 50% dibandingkan dengan pembelian air minum kemasan 600 ml. In Indonesia, especially around the Bandung State Polytechnic, most of the water sources come from ground water. Ground water in the Bandung State Polytechnic environment has acidic pH (<6), coliform> 2,400, and positive colitis. The process of water heating is less effective for treating ground water because it requires a relatively long time, large energy, and can not increase the pH of the water to meet drinking water standards as stated in Permenkes No. 492 / MENKES / PER / IV / 2010. To treat ground water in the Bandung State Polytechnic, portable drinking water treatment equipment has been made using the concept of dead-end flow filtration. The membrane used is a hollow-fiber membrane, a type of ultrafiltration membrane made from PVDF (Poly Vinylidene Fluoride), pore size of 0.1μm, membrane length of 15cm, membrane number of 148 pieces, and can be operated on normal human suction. The permeate produced is in accordance with PERMENKES No. 492 / MENKES / PER / IV / 2010 from physical, chemical and biological parameters. Lifetime membranes are observed through the amount of permeate produced from the beginning of the use of the membrane until the membrane is damaged. Lifetime of this portable drinking water treatment device is 38,879 L. Ground water treatment using this tool can increase pH by 12.78%, decrease conductivity by 39.31%, and reduce Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) 13.72%. From an economic standpoint, the use of this tool can save 50% costs compared to the purchase of 600 ml of bottled water.

Abstract

Papaya leaf extract could be used as an organic corrosion inhibitor. Corrosion inhibitors were used as a method to reduce corrosion rate. The most corrosive environment was the marine environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the best concentration of papaya (Carica papaya) leaf extract inhibitor which could reduce the corrosion rate of low carbon steel in a 3.56% NaCl solution environment. The maceration process was carried out for 24 hours with 70% ethanol solvent with a solute:solvent ratio of 1:8 (w/v) at room temperature. Inhibitor extracts were analyzed qualitatively with the phytochemical method. The addition of FeCl3 was carried out on the inhibitor extract from papaya leaves. The color change occurred from blackish brown to greenish black which indicated the presence of tannin compounds in the papaya leaf extract. Corrosion testing was carried out with hot stream temperature setting at 45⁰C to 55⁰C and concentrations of inhibitor extracts at 300, 600, and 900 ppm. The test was conducted for 36 hours with a span of metal mass every 6 hours. Corrosion rate calculation is done by weight loss method. The results showed that papaya leaf extract inhibitors positive contained corrosion inhibitor and could reduce the corrosion rate in 3.56% NaCl solution. The corrosion rate without inhibitor is 1.023 mmpy. Corrosion rates with inhibitor concentrations of 300, 600, and 900 ppm were 0.755, 0.585, and 0.438 mmpy, respectively.

Abstract

Tofu wastewater contains a lot of protein therefore it is easily degraded to produce foul odors and harmful gases due to microbes. Protein levels can be reduced through the electrocoagulation method which is equipped with adsorption. The purpose of this study is to reduce the value of turbidity, TSS, and COD in tofu wastewater due to the influence of voltage in the electrocoagulation process which is equipped with an adsorption process. This research was conducted with an electrocoagulation process at a rate of 250L/min with voltage variations of 15, 20, and 24Volt in a 10L tank containing 3 pairs of aluminum (Al) electrodes connected with direct current. The output water from the electrocoagulation process flows into the settling basin and flows into the adsorption tank containing activated carbon adsorbent. Both of these continuous processes were the innovation of this research. Sampling was conducted every 10 minutes for analysis of turbidity, TSS, COD, and pH. The results of the output water analysis from the electrocoagulation process after passing through the precipitation and adsorption processes show that increasing the voltage results in the decrease of turbidity, TSS, and COD values, however, increased efficiency and pH. Thus, a voltage of 24V with a flow rate of 250mL/min resulted in the highest efficiency of the voltage variations (15, 20, and 24V) with a process time of 90 minutes with a turbidity impurity reduction efficiency value of 45.42% with a value of 41.36 NTU from 75.22NTU, TSS 91.42% with a decrease to 1827mg/L from 21288mg/L, and COD 55.56% with a COD value of 9600mg/L from 21600mg/L, and a process output water pH of 4.91, as well as a reduction in aluminum electrode weight of 1.024grams.

Abstract

The increase in population in Indonesia is directly proportional to the increase in the use of vehicles which results in an increase in fuel demand. The amount of fossil fuels continues to decrease and cannot be renewed, so alternative energy is needed, one of which is bioethanol. This study aims to make bioethanol from banana weevil waste, to determine the effect of fermentation time on the concentration of banana weevil bioethanol and to determine the concentration of bioethanol after going through the purification stage. The production of banana weevil bioethanol begins with the process of cutting the banana weevil which is then mashed with the help of water and then squeezed and starch is obtained and then hydrolyzed with the addition of glucoamylase and alpha-amylase enzymes for further anaerobic fermentation with the help of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a concentration of 25%. In this study, variations of fermentation time were carried out for 5, 7, 9, and 10 days. The best fermentation time was obtained from 9 days of fermentation, where the conversion of glucose to bioethanol was 51%. The results of the analysis using a refractometer showed that the concentration of bioethanol obtained was 16.20% (v) which was obtained from fermentation for 9 days and purification using a rotary evaporator at a pressure of 360 mbar and a temperature of 500C.
