Abstract

Along with the development of the era, the need for fuel oil is increasing. The development of research and the use of diesel motors in industry will not stop just because of the depletion of fossil fuels. The search for alternative fuels as a substitute for diesel continues to be carried out in addition to dealing with the problems of the global energy and environmental crisis as well as helping to develop automotive technology as a work of human culture. Methyl ester is a biofuel that can be used to power diesel engines. The availability of fuel oil derived from petroleum is running low and the price is increasing so that alternative fuel sources are needed. One of the substitutes for conventional fuels from petroleum is vegetable oil. Methyl ester is produced using a transesterification reaction by changing the triglycerides which are reacted with one of the alcohol compounds, namely methanol to become methyl ester, and a production capacity of 250,000 tons / year is obtained. The main design tool is the CSTR (Continuous Flow Stirred-Tank Reactor) reactor which is used as a place for the transesterification reaction between triglycerides and methanol to produce methyl ester (main product) and glycerol (by-product). The operating temperature used is 333.15K. Based on the calculation results, the reactor volume is 57.28 m3, the reactor diameter (OD) is 168 in m with torispherical flanged and dished head and skirt support.

Abstract

Palm oil industrial waste contains various dissolved compounds in the form of short fibers, hemicellulose, and their derivatives, proteins, free organic acids, a mixture of minerals and organic pigments such as anthocyanins, carotenes, polyphenols, lignins and tannins. Organic compounds in this waste will cause problems such as an increase in TSS, COD values which can pollute the environment. The electrocoagulation method has the potential to reduce TSS, TDS, COD content and neutralize pH. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect and optimum conditions of the electrocoagulation process with variations in flow rate, voltage, spacing between plates and the addition of poly aluminum chloride (PAC) coagulants to decrease TSS, COD and pH parameters so that they meet the quality standards of waste in Permen LH. No. 5/2014. The method used is a continuous electrocoagulation process using an aluminum catalyst and the addition of PAC. The variables used in this study were the stress variable (24; 26; 28 V) and the variable flow rate velocity (0.3; 1,2; 2.5 L / min) and the variation of the spacing between the plates (2, 3, 4 cm).

Abstract

Biopelet is one of the alternative fuels converted from biomass. Biomass which has great potential to be converted into biopelet is Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB). Such considerations make researchers interested in conducting a study on the use of EFB as an alternative fuel in the form of biopelets. In this research, we used torefaction and densification processes and the addition of oil sludge as a co-firing to increase the mass and energy density which had been a problem with the nature of EFB. The research procedure started from the raw material preparation stage, the EFB and oil sludge torefaction process and the bioepelet manufacturing stage. For fixed variables, the raw material size (EFB) is ± 15 mm , the raw material ratio is 70:30 (EFB: Oil Sludge), the torefaction temperature is 275 °C, the size of the biopelet diameter is 20 mm (ISO 17225). For 20 mesh particles, the N2 flow rate was 50 ml / minute, for the changing variables were the torefaction detention time of 30, 45 and 60 minutes, the pressing pressure was 30, 40 and 50 bar.The results showed that there was an effect of torefaction detention time which was directly proportional to the increase in proximate characteristics and calorific value of biopelets with the best results of 3.35% moisture content, 8.66% ash content, 9.50% volatile content, 78.49 %, fixed carbon content, and the calorific value of 4597.76 cal / g under the conditions of 60 minutes of torefaction detention time. There is an effect of pressing pressure which is directly proportional to the increase in the mechanical properties of the biopelet with the best results of density 1.148 gr / cm3, compressive strength 16.86 bar, and porosity of biopelet 13.33% under pressure conditions of 50 bar. The effect of adding oil Sludge as co-firing resulted in the calorific value of the biopelet being lower than the calorific value of EFB. This is because the calorific value of oil sludge is lower than the calorific value of EFB.
