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

The utilization of biomass waste as a substitute for conventional energy sources has gained popularity, and one possible source is the litter generated by eucalyptus plantations. The present study used thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) gain insight into the thermochemical characteristics of eucalyptus leaves. It was identified by heating the sample in a nitrogen environment from ambient temperature to 850oC at a rate of 10 oC/minute. Eucalyptus leaves have a high volatile matter (VM) content and a calorific value (CV) of 17.26 MJ/kg, according to the ultimate and proximate analysis. Additionally, the TGA results showed that eucalyptus leaves had a lower ignition temperature than other biomasses. Eucalyptus leaves began to devolatilize at 119 oC, reaching a peak temperature of 326 oC, and losing 68% of their weight as a result.

Abstract

Functioning industrial waste as raw material or as a product is an achievement that will continue to be optimized, especially in industries where the amount of waste is significant. Pulp and paper mills produce waste in the form of solid, sludge, liquid and gas. The objective of this research is to extract the element ferrum contained in one of the solid wastes in pulp and paper mills. By using two fatty amine extractor, lauryl amine and stearyl amine with ethanol and n-hexane as solvents. The results showed that the use of stearyl amine as an extractor and n-hexane as a solvent with operating conditions of 4 hours and a dose of 5 grams gave the best results with an extraction yield of 10,964 mg/kg.

Abstract

This article presents the preliminary plant design and techno-economic assesment of Dimethyl Ether (DME) production from coal. As the world’s third largest coal producer, Indonesia faces challenges in using low rank lignite due to its high moisture content, wgich limits direct combustion efficiency. The plant was designed to produce 210,000 tons of DME per year, supporting national effort to reduce LPG imports and improve energy security. The calculation include mass and energy balances, equipment sizing, and enviromental considerations suh as CO2 emissions management. Economic evaluation demonstrate project feasibility, with an internal rate of return of 24.28%, a payback period of 3.46 years, and a net present value of 39.60 million USD. Sensitivity analysis shows profitability is highly sensitive to DME price variations. Further research issyngas recommended to develop effective carbon capture strategies and evaluate lifecycle emissions to enhance DME production more enviromentally friendly and sustainable.

Abstract

Perimping grass is one of lignocellulosic material which has not been fully utilized, so it is potential to be used as raw material for pulping which will provide economic value added. Organosolv pulping is the process of pulp making using organic solution. The objectives of this research is to study effect of the process conditions on tensile index. Effect of the process conditions were studied by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Design (CCD). The experiment pulping is carried out at the boiling temperature of liquor at atmospheric pressure, with 40 grams of perimping grass using formic acid (concentrations of 60%, 70%, and 80%), reaction time (60 minutes, 120 minutes, and 180 minutes), liquid to solid ratio (10/1, 15/1 , And 20/1 b/b), with HCl catalyst 0.1% wt. The result pulp of the perimping grass for tensile index is 659.3-2.1149 N m/g. The variable interaction (concentration of formic acid and reaction time) is a significant factor to the pulp tensile index.Keywords: formic acid, organosolv pulping, perimping grass, RSM, tensile index

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

Abstract

Environmental awareness and concern for cleanliness remain common challenges, not only in urban areas but also in rural communities. In Pangkalan Bunut Village, the issue of poor waste management persists, largely due to limited community awareness and the lack of adequate waste disposal facilities. To address this problem, our Community Service Team implemented a program to provide waste bins in the Pangkalan Bunut Market. This initiative aimed to encourage proper waste disposal practices, improve environmental awareness, and promote a clean and healthy environment. The program produced several positive outcomes: (1) increasing community understanding of the importance of waste management and environmental care; (2) providing accessible waste bins at the market to support cleaner surroundings; and (3) fostering behavioral change, as residents became more aware of the importance of proper waste disposal. This initiative is expected to serve as a model for sustaining cleanliness and environmental health in Pangkalan Bunut Village.
