Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of personal protective equipment in the community has contributed to the increasing amount of medical waste. Medical waste from the COVID-19 pandemic is classified as infectious medical waste which is waste related to patients who need isolation from infectious diseases. one of the solutions offered is a medical waste incinerator. By studying the medical waste incinerator model in the hospital, the researchers finally took the initiative to do a simple incinerator design. the incinerator to be used is updraft gasifier type. It is hoped that the use of this incinerator will be able to solve the existing medical waste problem. In this study, the researchers use experemental approach to get the basic data from the reactor. After gain the data, then the researcher use numerical approach which is using ansys softwere to get a better look of the temperature contour on the rector. From both study, researcher can conclude tha it would take an upgrade on the existing blower to incenerate the medical waste on a safely temperature.

Abstract

The world was shocked by the outbreak of a new virus called Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2020. The use of personal protective equipment in the community during a pandemic resulted in an increase in the amount of medical waste. Syringe is one of the medical waste from the COVID-19 pandemic which is classified as metal waste. One of the solutions offered is a medical waste incinerator. By studying the medical waste incinerator model in hospitals, the researchers finally took the initiative to design a simple incinerator. The incinerator to be used is a portable induction type. It is hoped that the use of this incinerator will be able to overcome the existing medical waste problem. Keywords: Evaluation, Incinerator, Garbage, Induction.

Abstract

Centrifugal pumps are a type of pump that is widely used in various industrial applications to convey liquids. This article presents a comprehensive review of centrifugal pumps, including working principles, main components, pump power, and pump efficiency. Centrifugal pumps operate on the principle of converting kinetic energy into hydraulic energy to move fluids through a pipe system. The main components include the impeller, casing, shaft, and seal. There are several types of centrifugal pumps, including single-stage and multi-stage pumps. Centrifugal pump applications include use in the chemical industry, water treatment, agriculture, firefighting, and more. The advantages of centrifugal pumps include compact size, high efficiency, and the ability to handle fluids of various viscosities. By understanding the basic principles and applications of centrifugal pumps, users can optimize the performance of their fluid flow systems efficiently and reliably. The 946-P-1B pump is a pump used for crude feed pumps or can be said to transfer crude oil from the tank to the distillation unit. Based on analysis of the calculation data, it can be concluded that the efficiency of the 946-P-1 B pump has a range of between 47% and 55%. This efficiency describes the level of the pump's ability to convert hydrolysis power into power on the pump shaft. It was found that pump efficiency tends to be directly proportional to the power on the pump shaft; The higher the pump shaft power (Pout), the pump efficiency also tends to increase.
