Abstract

The complex fertilizer industry produces wastewater which contributes to the pollution of water bodies because it contains high levels of phosphate and ammonium concentrations and high TKN (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen) which contains organic nitrogen. The organic nitrogen contained in the complex fertilizer wastewater is urea so it can be hydrolyzed to ammonium using the urease enzyme. The ammonium formed from the hydrolysis of urea will then react with magnesium and phosphate to form struvite, a crystal of Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate (MAP). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aeration and the enzyme urease in the removal of ammonium and phosphate in complex fertilizer synthetic wastewater through struvite precipitation. Struvite precipitation was carried out in a batch reactor which had a working volume of 0.5 L with variations in aeration rate, aeration time, and the addition of urease enzyme from Jack bean peas (Canavalia ensiformis). Residual ammonium and phosphate levels were analyzed and struvite crystal formation (MAP) was determined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the aeration reactor was able to form struvite crystals and remove the ammonium and phosphate content in the synthetic wastewater of complex fertilizers. The removal of ammonium with a molar ratio of [Mg2+] : [NH4+] : [PO43-] 1:2:1 reached 61-77% at high aeration rates because a lot of ammonium was released into the air. The phosphate removal reached 99%. The urease enzyme was proven to be able to hydrolyze urea into ammonium and increase the pH value and affect the shape of the resulting struvite crystals. The precipitate product obtained was struvite crystals which were confirmed by analysis using SEM-EDX and XRD.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of plunger diameter and stroke length on the performance of a hydraulic diaphragm metering pump, focusing on two key indicators: discharge pressure and flow rate. Experiments were conducted with five plunger diameters (7.90–9.00 mm) and three-stroke settings (100%, 75%, and 50%), validated in accordance with API 675 standards. Results show that each 1 mm increase in plunger diameter produced a consistent rise in flow rate across all stroke settings. Linear regression analysis revealed strong correlations, with flow rate increments of 67.54 mL/min per mm at 100% stroke, 60.78 mL/min per mm at 75% stroke, and 25.34 mL/min per mm at 50% stroke. High coefficients of determination (R²) confirm the robustness and predictive accuracy of these models. In addition to regression analysis, a two-way ANOVA was performed to statistically evaluate the effects of plunger diameter and stroke length, as well as their interaction, on pump performance. The ANOVA results confirmed that both parameters significantly affected flow rate (p 0.05), while discharge pressure was largely unaffected by stroke variation. The optimal configuration was achieved at a plunger diameter of 8.00 mm and 100% stroke, delivering performance that meets API 675 requirements. Importantly, this study proposes a novel validation framework for hydraulic diaphragm metering pumps based on API 675—a gap not fully addressed in prior research. These findings provide practical guidance for improving the efficiency and reliability of pump systems through optimized geometric and operational parameters.

Abstract

Production of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) through the fermentation process is one alternative that needs to be developed. Less economical in the ABE fermentation process is the difficulty of the separation process from the fermentation product and the by-products of the reaction. Among the separation process methods, such as extraction, distillation, adsorption, and gas stripping, the distillation method is still the most widely used method in the ABE separation process. The purpose of this study was to provide recommendations for predicting good ABE separation and producing optimum operating conditions to produce high % butanol content. Which is then simulated using Aspen Plus V11 software. This study varied the reflux ratio in the distillation column and the decanter operating temperature. The results showed that butanol purity reached 90.33% in the radfrac 1 column operated at a pressure of 1.3 atm with a reflux ratio of 5, the location of the 7th feed stage and the number of stages 11. Then proceed to the purification stage in the radfrac column 2 which is operated at a pressure of 2 atm with a reflux ratio of 5, the location of the 4th stage feed and the number of stages 5. The decrease in the reflux ratio of the radfrac column causes a decrease in the butanol content at the bottom so that the purity of butanol also decreases and decreases % recovery or recovery of butanol. This is also followed by the location of the feed stage, which is getting higher, and the number of stages is increasing.

Abstract

Pada proses pembuatan amonia salah satunya ialah shift converter yang berfungsi untuk mengonversi kandungan CO menjadi CO2. Di dalam shift converter terdiri dari HTS (High Temperature Shift Converter) dan LTS (Low Temperature Shift Converter). Kinerja HTS harus dievaluasi secara terus menerus agar tidak menyebabkan kerusakan pada unit purifikasi atau yang lainnya dan menghasilkan produk yang optimal, maka perlu dilakukan kajian mengenai alat tersebut dengan cara menghitung nilai kinerja alat High Temperature Shift dengan cara  membandingkan nilai data desain dengan nilai data aktual. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama 6 minggu dari bulan Juli sampai Agustus 2023 dan merupakan jenis penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Data kuantitatif dikumpulkan melalui pengamatan secara langsung pada alat High Temperature Shift (HTS) Converter (104-D1) di Unit Amonia Pabrik PT. Pupuk Sriwidjaja II-B. Dari hasil perhitungan didapatkan seluruh konversi CO secara aktual pada bulan Juli sampai Agustus 2023 melebihi data desain yaitu >70%, sedangkan konversi CO secara desain 69,208%. Secara aktual, konsentrasi CO yang keluar sudah lebih kecil daripada desain. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa kinerja HTS dalam mengubah CO menjadi CO2 dalam kondisi baik.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is one of the biomass wastes that have a great potential of a bioenergy resource due to its natural properties, such as high calorific value. The conversion of EFB biomass into valuable biofuels can achieved through biochemical and thermochemical processes. Tar (bio oil), the liquid product from the pyrolysis is one of the most attractive biofuels. The study aims to determine the effect of temperature process of pyrolysis EFB on its tar production under droptube reactor. The results showed that maximum tar yield was 43,80% obtained at 500 °C. The EFB tar produced at 500 °C was also determined to have a higher of phenol compound at 51,9%. The high phenolic content indicates its potential to be used for the production of renewable phenolic resins. Hence, the present work of pyrolysis of EFB presents itself as a promising method to produce phenol rich tar (bio-oil) from biomass waste.

Abstract

Jumlah produksi ban di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya yang memberikan pengaruh terhadap peningkatan jumlah limbah ban-dalam. Pemanfaatan limbah ban-dalam sangat sulit dilakukan karena tidak dapat terurai secara alami bahkan setelah jangka waktu yang lama. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan metode kombinasi kimia dan mekanik dalam produksi crumb rubber dari limbah ban-dalam, guna menghasilkan alternatif daur ulang yang efisien dan dapat diterapkan pada skala industri kecil. Limbah ban-dalam dipotong menjadi spesimen uji, kemudian direndam dalam kerosin pada berbagai variasi waktu dan dikeringkan hingga berat konstan. Sifat mekanis (kekuatan tarik dan perpanjangan putus) diuji menggunakan Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa semakin lama perendaman menggunakan kerosin maka semakin menurunkan sifat mekanis spesimen karet uji. Perendaman dalam larutan kerosin selama 96 jam menurunkan kekuatan tarik (93,7%) dan perpanjangan putus (91%) spesimen karet uji secara maksimal. Crumb rubber yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini berukuran berkisar 0,3-0,5 cm. Analisis spektra FTIR mengonfirmasi bahwa produk crumb rubber yang dihasilkan bebas dari kerosin.

Abstract

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas adsorben arang aktif dari kulit durian dalam menurunkan kadar BOD dan COD pada limbah cair industri pengolahan rumput laut. Proses adsorpsi dilakukan dengan variasi massa adsorben dan waktu kontak untuk menentukan kondisi optimum. Hasil terbaik diperoleh pada perlakuan massa adsorben 100 gram dengan waktu kontak 2 jam, yang menghasilkan penurunan BOD sebesar 74,4 mg/L (6,06%) dan COD sebesar 224,1 mg/L (21,64%). Penurunan kadar BOD dan COD menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan massa adsorben dan waktu kontak memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap kemampuan adsorpsi. Namun demikian, efektivitas adsorpsi dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor kejenuhan adsorben, fouling pada permukaan, serta proses desorpsi yang terjadi pada waktu kontak lebih lama. Karakteristik proses adsorpsi dianalisis menggunakan model isoterm Langmuir dan Freundlich. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa data adsorpsi lebih sesuai dengan model isoterm Langmuir, yang mengindikasikan terjadinya adsorpsi monolayer pada permukaan homogen. Dengan demikian, optimasi massa dan waktu kontak diperlukan agar adsorpsi berlangsung efektif dalam menurunkan beban pencemar organik. Kata Kunci: adsorpsi, arang aktif, kulit durian, BOD, COD, isoterm LangmuirAbstract This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of activated carbon adsorbent derived from durian peel in reducing BOD and COD levels in wastewater from the seaweed processing industry. The adsorption process was conducted by varying the adsorbent mass and contact time to determine the optimum conditions. The best result was achieved with 100 grams of adsorbent and 2 hours of contact time, resulting in a BOD reduction to 74.4 mg/L (6.06%) and COD to 224.1 mg/L (21.64%). The decrease in BOD and COD levels indicates that increasing adsorbent mass and contact time positively influences adsorption efficiency. However, the adsorption performance may be limited by adsorbent saturation, surface fouling, and desorption at prolonged contact times. The adsorption characteristics were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The results revealed that the Langmuir isotherm better described the adsorption process, indicating monolayer adsorption on a homogeneous surface. Therefore, optimizing the adsorbent mass and contact time is crucial to achieving efficient organic pollutant removal. Keywords: adsorption, activated carbon, durian peel, BOD, COD, Langmuir isotherm

Abstract

The petrochemical industry plays an important role in the supply chain of polymer-based products. In terms of raw materials, this industry still relies heavily on fossil-based feedstocks whose availability is gradually declining. On the other hand, the products generated from this industry contribute to the increasing accumulation of plastic waste due to their resistance to natural degradation. Nevertheless, the demand for industrial sustainability continues to rise along with the increasing needs of society. The development of bioplastics can serve as one of the diversification strategies to produce value-added materials, specifically in biodegradability. This study aims to produce bioplastics using various type of starch and fillers with propylene glycol as a plasticizer and to analyze their characteristics. The results of this study indicate that the appropriate combination of starch, filler, and plasticizer can enhance the physical characteristics of bioplastics. The bioplastics produced using various combinations of starch types and fillers in this study were able to degrade, which is better than standard commercial bioplastics that had not degraded within seven days. However, further optimization of the formulation is still required to achieve physical characteristics that approach or meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).

Abstract

Among various sources of industrial water pollution, effluents from printing, dyeing, and textile processes represent one of the most significant environmental threats. These wastewaters contain numerous toxic and hazardous substances that are difficult to biodegrade. This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and adsorption performance of a Bentonite–Nano SiO₂ composite for the removal of Rhodamine B dye from aqueous solutions. The research was conducted in two main stages: the preparation of the Bentonite–Nano SiO₂ composite and the evaluation of its adsorption performance at various adsorbent concentrations and contact times. The composite was synthesized by dispersing nano-silica (15% w/w) into bentonite using ethanol as the solvent, followed by stirring, filtration, and drying processes. Characterization using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed successful modification. Adsorption tests showed that Rhodamine B removal efficiency increased with higher adsorbent concentration, reaching optimal conditions at 0.75% (w/v) with a removal efficiency of 90.2% after a contact time of 10–15 minutes. The enhanced adsorption performance was attributed to the larger surface area, higher porosity, and increased number of active sites resulting from the incorporation of nano-silica
