Abstract

Conventional high-pressure sootblowers (148 bar, 492°C) in coal-fired power plants frequently suffer from mechanical failures (e.g., valve leaks, pipe erosion) and excessive energy consumption due to pressure drops. These issues necessitate an alternative solution to improve boiler efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. This study designs a retractable low-pressure nozzle utilizing intermediate-pressure turbine steam (12.13 bar, 395°C) to address these challenges. Through the development of a divergent full-cone nozzle (throat/exit diameters: 15.45/35.87 mm) and verification via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the nozzle achieved supersonic flow characteristics (Mach 1.2–1.7) with a steam mass fraction of 99.99%, while reducing pressure drop by 67% (4.77 bar compared to the conventional 14.8 bar). Field tests conducted at PLTU Banten 2 Labuan confirmed an effective cleaning area of 1.028 m² at a distance of 2.135 meters, demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional systems. Furthermore, the system achieved potential annual savings of approximately $3,981 per unit through reduced energy and maintenance costs. The results demonstrate that this low-pressure nozzle design not only mitigates slagging and fouling with lower operational risks but also offers a sustainable, energy-efficient, and economically viable alternative for improving the performance and reliability of subcritical coal-fired boilers.

Abstract

Indonesia has great potential to produce Nickel Oxide due to the abundance of Ni resources that can be used for the manufacture of SOFC anode components. Ni-YSZ which is a mixture of metal and ceramic is widely used SOFC anodes. Ni was selected because it exhibits high electrical conductivity and serves as an internal reforming catalyst. In this study, the characterization and manufacturing of Ni-YSZ-based half cells using domestic NiO were conducted. The stages of half cell fabrication begin with the mixing of solid and liquid materials and, the process of milling, sonication, degassing, tape casting, and sintering. The manufacture of half cells was carried out by adding an anti-foam concentration with a variation of 0.4; 0,6; and 0.8%. The optimal percentage composition was 0.4% anti-foam variation with a visual appearance that was not cracked, slightly curved and posed a pore size of 0.779 μm. The results of the domestic NiO characterization of imported NiO showed greater element percentage values and viscosity values, a slightly curved half cell visual appearance, good electrolyte density, and porosity values that were not in accordance with the range.

Abstract

Porang tubers are one of the foodstuffs rich in glucomannan content. Glucomannan is widely used in various industrial fields, one of which is pharmaceuticals. To produce pure glucomannan compounds, the method of isolating glucomannan using a two-phase water system (ATPS) solvent has been widely used. One option is isolation with a two-phase water system (ATPS) of inorganic salts ammonium sulfate and ethanol at various concentrations. This study focuses on optimizing the concentration ratio of ammonium sulfate and ethanol for the glucomannan extraction process, carried out with a factorial design and continued analysis with a response surface methodology (RSM) approach. The results of the experimental design at the composition of ammonium sulfate concentration of 17.07% w/w and ethanol of 27.07% w/w showed optimal dry extract acquisition in the two-phase water system (ATPS), with a yield of 81.07%. Characterization of the results of porang flour extract with FTIR produced stretching vibrations of the O-H group at 3427.51 cm-1 and C-O-C (glycosidic bond) at 1020.34 cm-1 and bending vibrations of the -CH functional group at 864.11 cm-1, which are specific values ​​for glucomannan compounds and using visible spectrophotometry, the glucomannan concentration was obtained at 32.67%.

Abstract

Waste represents a major environmental concern due to its contribution to pollution. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, organic waste comprised 51.63% of total waste in Indonesia. This highlights the potential for converting organic waste into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) through anaerobic fermentation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between macronutrient content and microbial growth in LOF and to determine the optimum fermentation time for producing LOF. LOF was made using organic waste from Cibogo market, including green vegetable waste and fruit peels banana, mango, and pineapple). The research was conducted using reactor which contained 5 kg of green vegetable waste and 5 kg of fruit peels, supplemented with EM4 bioactivator (200, 250, and 300 mL), water, and brown sugar. Samples were analyzed on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Chemical parameters measured included nitrogen, phosphorus, C-organic, and potassium content, and microbial analysis was conducted to determine the role of microorganisms in the fermentation process. Results showed that the optimal fermentation time for LOF production was seven days, corresponding to the peak concentrations of NPK and C-organic. However, further optimization of EM4 volume and the ratio between waste and bioactivator is required, since the nutrient levels remain below the recommended standard. Moreover, the correlation between microbial population and nutrient availability requires further research, particularly with respect to the quantity of EM4 applied.

Abstract

Robusta coffee beans are known to have higher caffeine levels compared to other coffee beans. Fermentation is one of the steps to reduce caffeine levels in coffee. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature and fermentation time on robusta   coffee characteristics consisting of testing caffeine content, ethanol content, moisture content and pH. The fermentation process of coffee beans is carried out using local microorganism cassava tapai. The local microorganism of cassava tapai was chosen because it can be a source of microbial activity. Fermentation of coffee beans was carried out anaerobically with temperature variations of 30ºC and 37ºC and with fermentation time variations of 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 hours. The results showed that the longer the fermentation time, the lower the caffeine content. Caffeine levels decreased from 4.88% to 2.53% ± 0 and 3.73% ± 0 at the 30ºC and 37ºC temperature variations at the longest time variation (48 hours). The degree of acidity or pH value decreased from 5.10 to 4.38 ± 0 and 4.27 ± 0,01. Moisture content is relatively fluctuating but all sample variations are in the standard range of 10-12.5%. Whereas ethanol content increased from 2.46% to 4.36% ± 0 and 4.26% ± 0,13. Through the P-value ANOVA Two Factor Without Replication test, it can be concluded that fermentation temperature has a significant effect on caffeine content and pH, while fermentation time has a significant effect on caffeine content, ethanol content and pH.

Abstract

Tofu production results in wastewater containing high levels of organic matter. This wastewater needs to be treated before discharging into water bodies. Anaerobic wastewater treatment is capable to decompose organic compounds in wastewater and can produce biogas. Tofu wastewater has a low C/N ratio (6.51), so it needs to be increased by adding water hyacinth extract. The reactor used is an Anaerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor (ASBR) with cow rumen extract as a starter at a concentration of 7,995 mg MLVSS/L. The concentration of tofu wastewater used was 6,000 mgCOD/L, and water hyacinth extract was added at a concentration ratio of 15:2. This research aims to determine the reduction in COD and cumulative biogas volume gain during tofu wastewater treatment with the addition of water hyacinth extract. The parameters tested in the research were MLVSS, COD, pH, and cumulative biogas volume. The efficiency of reducing COD concentration at the operational stage with adding water hyacinth extract was 87.5%, while the reduction in COD concentration without adding water hyacinth extract was only 56.25%. The cumulative volume of biogas produced for 9 days of operation was 7,300 mL, while the ASBR operation without adding water hyacinth extract was 9,590 mL for 9 days.
