Abstract

Peatlands are an ecosystem that has an important role in the environment, including carbon storage, biodiversity habitat, and water availability (Murdiyarso et al., 2010). However, peatlands are also very vulnerable to fire, especially in extreme dry season conditions (Page et al., 2002). Peatland fires can cause significant environmental losses, including greenhouse gas emissions, loss of biodiversity, and negative impacts on public health due to the smoke produced (Masykur et al., 2019). Therefore, efforts to prevent peatland fires are very important to maintain the sustainability of this ecosystem and public health. The hydram pump method was chosen as an innovative solution in this research because of its ability to pump water continuously without requiring an electricity or fuel source. This makes it a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative for wetting peatlands, which in turn can increase soil moisture and reduce the risk of fire (Wardhana et al., 2021). By utilizing this method, it is hoped that soil moisture can be maintained, making the land less susceptible to fire. The type of research used is experimental research. The research location was carried out at the Building Engineering Education Laboratory, FKIP UPR with a hydram pump and a drip irrigation system on differences in land elevation from plant water sources and water use efficiency. The target achieved is that this research will be published in the SINTA 5 and HKI Accredited Journals.

Abstract

Agriculture is the economic backbone and source of life for many communities in Indonesia, including the City of Palangkaraya. The Sumber Makmur Farmers Group is a clear example of an agricultural community that strives to increase crop production and manage organic waste sustainably. However, they often face obstacles in producing quality compost due to external weather influences. Through this community service, we can also increase awareness of the importance of sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. The Sumber Makmur Farmers Group can be an example for other communities in implementing simple but effective technology to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner. Thus, the activity of making a protective roof for portable compost fertilizer systems is not only a technical contribution to local agriculture, but is also a real effort to advance community welfare and maintain environmental sustainability in Palangka Raya City.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete using Sandblasting Sand waste and to determine whether concrete using Sandblasting Sand waste can be used as a rigid pavement material. To achieve these objectives, experimental research was carried out in the laboratory using 10 beam specimens. The coarse aggregate used was a combination of Banjarmasin Gravel and Merak Gravel with a proportion of 50% each. There are two variations of the mixture, namely a concrete mixture using Tangkiling Sand and a concrete mixture using Sandblasting Sand. From the test results, it was obtained that the concrete mixture using Tangkiling Sand had an average compressive strength of 22.57 MPa and a flexural strength (fs) of 36.33 kg/cm2. The concrete mixture using Sandblasting Sand has an average compressive strength of 26.55 MPa and flexural strength (fs) of 39.40 kg/cm2. Concrete mixtures with proportions of 50% Banjarmasin Gravel and 50% Merak Gravel, both using Tangkiling Sand and Sandblasting Sand do not meet the requirements for use as rigid pavement because they do not meet the minimum flexural strength of 45 kg/cm2 as required.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is a basic need that must be met to ensure people's quality of life. The use of renewable energy, particularly through solar power plants (PLTS), offers an efficient and environmentally friendly solution. PLTS have the advantage of being an abundant energy source, being emission-free, and suitable for household applications in tropical regions like Indonesia, which experience high solar radiation intensity throughout the year (IEA, 2023; Mulyadi & Hartono, 2019). This research addresses the need for a solar-powered booster pump system integrated with a storage tank as a backup water source. The research was conducted in the Building Engineering Education Laboratory, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Palangka Raya University, designing a household water distribution system using a solar-powered booster pump integrated with a storage tank. Specific plans and targets include publication of this research in a SINTA-accredited journal, HKI, and a research video.

Abstract

The issue of energy availability and household waste is a significant issue that continues to grow with population growth and global energy consumption. Furthermore, household waste, such as used cooking oil and used cooking oil, is often disposed of carelessly into waterways or the surrounding environment. This causes soil and water pollution and can even damage micro-ecosystems in domestic environments. One relevant technological innovation is the development of a used cooking oil-fueled stove. This technology allows households to convert waste into heat energy for cooking. Therefore, an adequate air circulation system, such as a blower fan, is required to improve the mixing of air and oil during combustion. The research was conducted in the Mechanical Engineering Education Laboratory, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Palangka Raya University, by combining the use of used cooking oil as fuel and solar energy as a power source for the blower fan, reflecting the synergy between these two forms of renewable and sustainable energy. Specific plans and targets include publication of this research in a SINTA-accredited journal, HKI, and a research video.
