Abstract

Prevention of global warming due to high energy consumption and greenhouse gases is a priority for local governments, especially in Pekanbaru City, Indonesia. The use of air conditioning has become a community habit of reducing the temperature of a hot room, but unexpected things can have a negative impact on the surrounding environment. Therefore, this paper provides a simple new idea by using a phase change material (PCM) in the form of an eco-green air cooler system (EGACY) application as a free and passive cooler. EGACY consists of salt hydrates, PCM boxes, iron pipes, fans, solar panels, and batteries as the main components and several other supporting components. The EGACY system works by absorbing cold air and stored by the PCM at night through pipes connected to the outside, then expelled during the day through indoor ceiling vents. The resulting temperature in the room can be controlled at a comfortable temperature from 25°C to 28°C. EGACY is believed to be able to provide the potential for environmentally friendly technology with renewable energy sources.

Abstract

Greenhouses become one of the buildings where the cultivation of plants. The concept of environmentally friendly greenhouses is included in the current model of urban agriculture. The design of the greenhouse building concept is environmentally friendly by utilizing passive cooling technology. Passive cooling technology is used in this design to balance the temperature and humidity of the greenhouse through natural energy flow. The purpose of the research and design of this building is to investigate the temperature differences inside and outside the greenhouse space. The results of this study know that passive cooling with and without water greatly affects the temperature in the room. Passive cooling without water will produce hot temperatures in the room compared to passive cooling using water.

Abstract

Unlicensed gold mining activities are still a polemic in the people of Kuantan Singingi Regency, starting from 2006 until now. Kuantan River water has a turbidity of 72.42 NTU, a concentration of 0.0325 mg/l Hg, and a bacterial count of 410 CFU/100 ml. Eventhough, Kuantan River water is the main source of raw water used by UPTD PAB with 3,727 active customers. Until now, water treatment at UPTD still uses alum as a purifier without laboratory-scale analysis. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of ACCOALTIC's working principles in the Kuantan River raw water purification process and explain the results of the development of ACCOALTIC bottom loading dispenser. The study was conducted in quantitative experiments. ACCOALTIC uses the working principle of 3 filtration tanks, namely purification & coagulation, adsorption, and disinfection. Test parameters using a turbidity meter get an average value of 5 tests per sample after treatment of 0.1 NTU. The decline occurs due to the nature of Al2(SO4)3 contains aluminum sulfate. In the XRD test of Hg absorption, there is a peak in the X-ray intensity coordinates (a.u.) which indicates the presence of Hg. SSA testing found a decrease in Hg concentration by 77.21%. The number of E. coli bacteria was 410 (before treatment) and 2 (before treatment) in CTU/100 mL units, hence the % value decreased by 99.51% while the development of ACCOALTIC is carried out in the form of bottom loading dispensers.
