Abstract

Increased demand for LNG compels Indonesia to import to meet these needs. Substituting LNG with alternative fuel emerges as a strategy to reduce LPG imports. One such alternative can be used for LPG substitution is Dimethyl Ether. Dimethyl ether is a colorless compound possesses a heating value of 30,5 MJ/kg and an energy equivalency with LPG ranging between 1,56 – 1,76. Dimethyl ether can be directly synthesized from synthetic gas produced through natural gas reforming. Production of synthetic gas from natural gas employs the tri-reforming method which integrating steam reforming, dry reforming, and partial oxidation methods in a single reactor offering optimal energy utilization advantages and minimal environmental impact. Dimethyl ether production from synthetic gas is using direct synthesis method, combining methanol synthesis and dehydration in a single reactor providing high conversion advantages compared to indirect synthesis method. Simulation was carried out using process simulator program ASPEN Plus V11. Based on the simulation results, dimethyl ether yield and selectivity is 99.62%.

Abstract

Formic acid pulping of oil palm frond was conducted to study the influence of process variables (formic acid concentration, hydrogen peroxide concentration, and pulping time) on the properties of pulp produced (yield pulp and lignin content). A second order polynomial model consisiting of three independent process variables was found to accurately describe the formic acid pulping of oil palm frond. The propose equations reproduce the experimental results for the dependent variables with erros less than 5% for both yield dan lignin content. The most influential factor on yield pulp was formic acid concentration. Whereas, the cooking time has greater influence on lignin content.Keywords: formic acid, lingocelulose, pulping, pulp organosolv, oil palm fronds
