Abstract

Package boiler (PB) is a utility unit essential for producing steam by heating Boiler Feed Water (BFW) through the combustion of natural gas with air. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of heat loss on PB efficiency. To achieve this, direct and indirect methods were adopted, with data collected between 4 July and 29 August 2023. The results showed that PB efficiency in the fertilizer industry during this period ranged from 76.06% to 80.71%. On August 29, 2023, under optimal conditions, an efficiency of 80.71% was achieved, while a significant drop to 65.44% occurred during the 6th week on August 8, 2023, due to low oxygen (O2) levels. Flue gas analysis on August 29, 2023, obtained 3.64% excess O2, 11.17% carbon dioxide (CO2), and 0.04% carbon monoxide (CO). PB performance was influenced by heat loss from the dry flue gas, hydrogen (H2) content on flue gas, moisture in air and fuel, incomplete combustion, as well as radiation and convection phenomena.

Abstract

Acidizing treatment is commonly used to solve scale problem on production equipment. In this process, Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is often used to treat CaCO3 scale, posing the risk of pipe corrosion due to its high corrosive characteristics. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the impact of adding EDTA additive into HCl solution during the acidifying treatment procedure. The methodology included various stages such as scale identification, chemical scale removal test using 7.5% and 15% HCL solution, 15% HCl solution test with EDTA as an additive, and corrosion determination using corrosion coupon. The results showed that 15% HCl solution was very effective in removing CaCO3 scale but had a high corrosion rate of 186.255 mpy. Furthermore, the addition of 10 mL EDTA solution as an additive removed scale and reduced corrosion rate by approximately 85%.

Abstract

This research aimed to make an adsorbent from activated carbon/MnO2 (AC/MnO2) composite and examine its characteristics, adsorption capacity, and mechanism for uranyl ions. Carbon was made from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) through sodium acetate's carbonization and activation processes. The AC/MnO2 composite was made using the in-situ deposition method, namely by oxidizing Mn2+ compounds to Mn4+ under alkaline conditions at a temperature of ±80°C. An FTIR spectrophotometer was used to characterize the adsorbent, and a UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to determine the content of uranyl. The results of FTIR analysis showed that MnO2 in Mn-O and Mn-O-Mn absorption was bound to activated carbon. It was also discovered that AC/MnO2 adsorbent reduced uranium content in solution in the form of uranyl ion for adsorbent mass of 2.5 grams and a contact time of 60 minutes, leading to adsorption percentages of 65.5%. The adsorption mechanism followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation by forming a single layer. Meanwhile, the adsorption kinetics followed pseudo-second-order with a value of k = 6.7 g/mg.min.

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the adsorption of Cr (VI) metal using Spirulina sp (inactive) biomass and its application in leather tannery wastewater. The treatment was carried out to determine the influence of independent variables on Cr (VI) adsorption with variations in pH, contact time, and metal solution concentration. The values of the solution pH, adsorption time, and concentration of the best metal solution were used to determine the center points of the optimization variables through Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The results showed that based on the FTIR test, macromolecules present in Spirulina sp biomass included amino, carboxylate, and hydroxy groups. The combination of factor variables that produced the optimum response was at pH 3.165, contact time of 66.58 minutes, and Cr (VI) metal ion solution concentration of 22.9 mg/L, resulting in a Cr (VI) adsorption efficiency of 69.66%. The adsorption pattern was included in the Freundlich adsorption isotherm, and the application of Spirulina sp biomass adsorbent to tannery waste reduced the concentration of Cr (VI) from 3.9 g/L to an undetectable level at <1.4 g/L.

Abstract

Palm kernel shell is solid waste produced from the processing of crude palm oil (CPO). In this context, phosphoric acid (H3PO4) serves as an essential activator for producing an adsorbent with maximum micropore under operating conditions at a temperature of <450oC. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the optimal adsorbent condition of the palm kernel shell using H3PO4activator. The production process was optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Central Composite Design (CCD) methods with activator concentration variations of 4%, 5%, and 6%, at activation times of 23 hours, 24 hours, and 25 hours, respectively. The quality of the adsorbent produced fulfilled SNI standard 06-3730-1995, characterized by water content of 1.001%, ash content of 5.767%, missing substance level of 18.932%, and fixed carbon content of 75.301%. Furthermore, this work effectively optimized the RSM and CCD adsorbent production process, achieving 4.785% variation in activator concentration and 24.679 hours activation time.

Abstract

Coffee is a significant commodity trend, with numerous coffee shops rapidly established in Indonesia. The development of this industry has led to an increased discharge of coffee grounds into the environment. The discarded grounds contain oil which can be optimized using various methods and serve as a raw material for biodiesel. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the maceration and ultrasonic methods of extracting coffee grounds. The comparison focused on yield, mass transfer value (diffusivity), and extraction speed constant based on the proposed mathematical model. The results showed a yield of 12.1% and 16%, for the maceration and ultrasonic methods, respectively. Diffusivity value was registered at 9.99 x 10-11 m2/min and 9.8 x 10-10 m2/min, while extraction speed constant values were discovered to be 0.2 m/min and 1.798 m/min, respectively. Additionally, the energy evaluation of ultrasonic extraction produced a Gibbs energy value of -3765.72 Joules.

Abstract

High Temperature Shift (HTS) Converter (104-D1) have a function to convert CO gas into CO2 in the ammonia unit. The presence of CO could be poisoning the catalyst in the ammonia converter. The performance of HTS (104-D1) was ideal if the percentage of CO outlet is above 3.41 mol % dry basis. The performance of HTS (104-D) was influenced by operating conditions (pressure and temperature) and the ratio of steam to carbon. The increase in temperature in HTS (104-D1) can increase in the reaction rate and a decrease in CO conversion due to a decrease in catalyst performance. The research aims to find out how the performance of HTS (104-D1) after Turn Around process (catalyst replacement) that reviewed based on the operating conditions and the resulting CO conversion. The analysis was carried out by comparing the CO conversion from the actual data with the CO conversion from the design data by using the regression equation method to predict the lifetime of the catalyst. CO conversion obtained from the design data is 69.42 %. Conversion of actual data in June, July, August, September and October was 67.43 %; 78.32 %; 77.93 %; 77.75 %; and 77.40 %. The lifetime of the HTS catalyst (104-D1) PUSRI-IIB was estimated to be used up to 5 years after Turn Around process.

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance the thermal efficiency of the sulphitation process in the boiling house of sugar plants using a combined approach of pinch and exergy analyses. Pinch analysis is a reliable method for optimizing the design of energy recovery systems. However, the primary limitations arise from its exclusive focus on heat transfer processes. On the other hand, exergy balance provides valuable insight into the consumption of supplied exergy by individual process units, serving as a quantitative measure of inefficiency. The boiling house was evaluated and modified using pinch-exergy analysis with Sulphitation Process capacity production of 8000 TCD. The results showed a potential reduction in exergy destruction by approximately 10.25 MW. The optimization effort led to reductions of 18.18 and 14.70% in the use of hot and cold external utility, respectively.

Abstract

Most waste from palm oil processing can be repurposed, such as using palm fibre waste to create activated charcoal. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of activated charcoal, produced by activating palm fibre with H₃PO₄, in removing silica from boiler output water. The production process involved pyrolysis at 200ºC for 2.5 hours. A completely randomized design was employed to test the effects of different H₃PO₄ concentration (with 1 to 2 M) and reaction times (30, 60, and 90 min). Results revealed that the moisture content of the activated charcoal ranged from 1.96% to 2.42%, ash content from 9.82% to 21.63%, and iodine adsorption from 366.43 to 457.87 mg/g. The highest silica adsorption capacity (3.5 g/g) was achieved with 2 M H₃PO₄ for 90 min. This indicates that palm fibre-derived activated charcoal is effective for silica removal, highlighting it is potential for enhancing environmental sustainability in industrial sector.
