Abstract

This study investigated the optimization of biodiesel production from nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum) oil using a Thermal Air Sparging (TAS) reactor with NaOH catalyst. Crude oil containing 18.2% free fatty acids (FFA) underwent a two-stage acid esterification to reduce the acidity below the 2% threshold required for efficient alkaline transesterification. To assess the combined effects of thermal and hydrodynamic variables, a 3² full factorial experimental design with three replications was used, encompassing a reaction temperature of 30–40 °C and a hot air flow rate of 1.0–2.0 L min⁻¹. The produced biodiesel was characterized for density, kinematic viscosity, flash point, and heating value according to ASTM D4052, D445, D93, and D240, respectively. These values ​​were then evaluated against SNI 7182:2015 specifications. Optimal operating conditions were achieved at 35°C and a flow rate of 1.5 L min⁻¹. Reaction temperature emerged as the primary factor influencing biodiesel conversion, while hot air flow rate predominantly affected interfacial contact and residence time. Under these conditions, the biodiesel exhibited a density of 0.867 g·cm⁻³, a kinematic viscosity of 4.67 cSt, a flash point of 183.2°C, a calorific value of 10,283.20 cal·g⁻¹, and a conversion yield of 85.43%. This performance is attributed to the combined effects of heat transfer and dispersion driven by microbubbles, which continuously renew the interfacial surface area between the reactants and promote a more homogeneous reaction environment at atmospheric pressure and relatively low temperature. In contrast to mechanical stirring systems and other high-energy intensification methods, the TAS configuration allows for intensification of the thermofluidic process, reducing reaction time, stabilizing fuel properties, and lowering overall energy consumption. These results demonstrate the potential of TAS as a practical and scalable method for converting non-edible oils with high free fatty acid content into biodiesel through a low-energy process.

Mitra diberikan pelatihan berupa skill penggunaan mesin cacah, pembuatan silase, dan recording domba melalui necktag. Setelah pelaksanaan pengabdian prosentase pemahaman pengoperasaian mesin cacah sebesar, pembuatan silase, pemahaman recording ternak, dan tingkat ketrampilan perawatan peralatan berturut-turut sebesar 89%; 81%; 78%; 75%. mitra mampu menghasilkan pakan dengan mesin cacah multifungsi berkapasitas 585 kg/jam. Dari penerapan teknologi silase dan recording didapatkan terjadi peningkatan pakan yang dicacah menjadi 3 sak per hari meningkat 300% . Kemudian 461 domba telah diberikan necktag . Produksi pakan silase sebanyak 65 sak.Abstract: The number of sheep in Jember Regency in 2020 was 83,029. Our partner "Lereng Mujan" is located in Klungkung Village, Jember. There are 26 members with 456 sheep and each farmer has 7-35 sheep. Based on the discussion, the partner has three problems: forage feed processing technology, feed bank technology, and recording. Partner sheep are given forage feed directly without chopping so that livestock have difficulty digesting and a lot of food waste. In the dry season, sheep feed is reduced so that sheep nutrition cannot be fulfilled. Livestock recording has not been implemented so inbreeding often occurs and the number of livestock is not monitored. Partners are given training in the form of skills in the use of chopping machines, making silage, and recording sheep through necktags. After the implementation of the service, the percentage of understanding of the operation of the chopping machine, making silage, understanding livestock recording, and the level of equipment maintenance skills was 89%; 81%; 78%; 75% respectively. Partners are able to produce feed with a multifunctional chopping machine with a capacity of 585 kg / hour. From the application of silage and recording technology, it was found that there was an increase in chopped feed to 3 bags per day, or increase 300%. Then 461 sheep have been given necktags. Silage feed production was 65 sacks.

Abstract

In recent years, advances in science and technology have changed human lifestyles and increased global energy consumption. The global innovative search for alternative fuels from renewable sources such as biomass has become important, such as biodiesel. The use of biodiesel in diesel engines requires changes in air supply. Proper air supply is needed to obtain optimal engine performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using an excess air system on engine performance and exhaust emissions in diesel engines with a mixture of dexlite and biodiesel fuels. The research method used is experimental research and the parameters in this study include the use of an excess air system of 10 L / m, 20 L / m and a load of 300, 400, 500 Watt with biodiesel fuel (B40). The results of this study with the presence of an excess air system can increase combustion efficiency, thus increasing engine engine powerand torque with the most efficient engine power and torque, namely 4.87 KW at a load of 500 watts and 3.101 Nm at a load of 500 watts with excess air of 20 L/m. Fuel consumption also decreases with the presence of an excess air system at 10 L/m load 300 with a value of 0.16 kg/hour. The excess air system can also reduce CO and HC exhaust emissions with excess air of 20 L/m and a load of 300 watts, namely a CO value of 0.02%, an HC value of 18.2 ppm. So the use of excess air is effective in improving engine performance and emissions.

Abstract

Puger Wetan is the largest fisheries center in Jember. One of the fish type produced is SardinellaLemuru.  Due to its small size and prickly nature, it is rarely consumed directly. It is commonly sold as raw material for canned sardines. Canned sardines manufacture needs fresh Lemuru, because it will cause itching on the tongue if not fresh. Whereas, fishermen mostly piled the fish in the boat hatch then gave ice cubes, so that the majority of it will no longer be fresh when arrived in the mainland because its perishable nature due to its thin skin.As the result, most of fishermen’s catch is not feasible for canned sardines and become leftovers. During this time, it will be sold at a low price. Fish leftovers that are not absorbed by the market aredumped into the river, becomingleftovers. The waste pollutes the environment and harms the health and hygiene. There will be more wastes during the fishing season, as more and more lemuru leftovers are dumped. This activity aims to resolve the problem by transforming the leftovers into fish meal, using appropriate tech machines. The activities are carried out in several stages. The first stage is the counseling about the negative impact of fisheries waste and the possibility of utilizing it into fish meal, also about the business opportunity that is still potential because domestic demand is still not yet met. The explanation of the importance of business management was also given.The third stage is the practice of making fish meal with the help of tools that have been previously converted technology. The fourth stage is the evaluation of activities for the benefit of partnering groups. Lemuru leftover utilization into fish meal is one of the important components in animal feed which can increase the fishermen income, while reducing environmental pollution.

Abstract

The transition to low-carbon energy is driving the development of alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels in spark-ignition engines. One potential candidate is syngas from biomass gasification, given its lower carbon emissions. This study aims to compile a comprehensive synthesis of the use of syngas as an alternative fuel for spark-ignition engines, using the Systematic Literature Review method, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The results show that syngas quality is influenced by the type of gasifier, gasification agent, and operating parameters, with downdraft fixed-bed gasifiers being the most optimal technology. The use of syngas can improve combustion stability and thermal efficiency, but reduces power and torque by 15–35% in spark-ignition engines. With proper gas quality optimization and engine calibration, syngas can be an efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly alternative fuel for spark-ignition engines.
