Abstract

Eco-friendly alternative fuels encourage the use of waste biomass as a material for making briquettes. This study aimed to develop briquettes from rice husk biomass and peat moss and add spent leaching earth (SBE). SBE is a hazardous and toxic waste increasingly piling up in landfills. The research method involved carbonizing rice husks and peat moss, mixing them with SBE, molding with a 200 kg/cm2 Hydraulic Press, and drying. The resulting briquettes had an average water content of 5.86% and an ash content of 2.18%, which meet the SNI No. 01/6235/2000 standard. Morphological analysis revealed that the briquettes were round but exhibited non-homogeneous aggregation. The highest calorific value was found in C4 briquettes of 5030.17 cal/gr. The composition of C4 was 40% rice husk charcoal (4.8 g), 45% peat (5.4 g), and 15% SBE (1.8 g), with SBE dried for seven days. The addition of peat increased the calorific value of the briquettes. Based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/ energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, the carbon content in the C4 briquettes reached 72.2%. This study shows that the combination of rice husk charcoal, SBE, and peat provides a renewable energy source and contributes to the reduction of environmental waste, thereby promoting sustainability.

Abstract

The National Energy Policy to develop the use of renewable energy has opened up opportunities for industry to develop the use of biomass. A study on the use of palm shells as a substitute for industrial diesel in a thermal oil heating system at a natural rubber resin factory in North Sumatra has been carried out. All information and data on the operation of TOH were obtained through secondary data collection and direct discussions in the field. The secondary data obtained include the type and specification of the heater, the characteristics of the thermal oil (type, flow rate, temperature inlet and outlet of the heater), fuel consumption/hour and the characteristics of palm shells. From the study conducted, it can be concluded that during the process of heating thermal oil which takes place gradually in the TOH system using industrial diesel, it has a heat capacity of 1.500.000 kcal/hour, but the maximum heat that is useful for heating thermal oil is 694,396 kcal/hour with maximum thermal efficiency is 80.69%. Estimated consumption of palm kernel shells required to heat thermal oil on the assumption of 70% thermal efficiency as a substitute for energy supplied by industrial diesel is 237 kg/hour. The savings from this fuel replacement is estimated Rp.3.286.800.000/year.
