Abstract

The rotary dryer is a machine designed to simplify the cocopeat drying process. The current process still relies on sunlight; this drying process has the drawback of longer drying times and uncontrolled moisture content. The maximum moisture content of the cocopeat must be 15%. This research method is an experiment using several parameters: a drum speed of 6 rpm, heating temperatures of 600°C, 900°C, and 1300°C, with varying drying times of 120 and 150 minutes. The drying process at a temperature of 600 °C resulted in a decrease in humidity efficiency of up to 56.7% with a water content value of 23.8% in 150 minutes and a mass of 3.7 kg. Meanwhile, for drying at a temperature of 1300 °C, the best reduction in efficiency was obtained compared to the previous temperature, a decrease in water content of up to 84% with a water content value of 8.55 and a mass of 2.7 kg using a time of 150 minutes.

Abstract

This study evaluates Biomass-Shell Composite Fuel (BSCF) from lignocellulosic and seashell waste via fermentation and densification. Results show pellet moisture (2.64–11.0%) meets ISO 17225-6:2021 standards. The highest heating value was 12.11 MJ/kg in the mixed variant, though it was below the 14.5 MJ/kg minimum. Bulk density (0.12–0.37 g/cm³) and length (33–50 mm) were also below ideal standards. Incorporating seashells caused high ash content (32.16–34.84%). Consequently, BSCF pellets are recommended as an Alternative Fuel and Raw Material (AFR) for the cement industry, where mineral residues can substitute for limestone in clinker production. Optimization requires increased compaction pressure and reduced particle size to improve product efficiency.
