Abstract

Klasifikasi silika (SiO2) dibagi dalam empat karakter dasar silika yaitu struktur kristal, dispersitas, komposisi permukaan dan porositas. Sebelumnya pasir silika ini banyak digunakan oleh industri minyak dan gas sebagai proppant (pasir frak) maupun sebagai filter air. Pilihan proppant tergantung pada jenis permeabilitas atau kekuatan butir yang dibutuhkan. Dimana proppant dengan ukuran yang lebih besar akan memberikan permeabilitas rekahan yang lebih baik, karena nilai permeabilitas akan meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya diameter dari butiran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penekanan pellet silika terhadap porositas dan permeabilitas. Penekanan pellet silika ini menggunakan mesin press hidrolik dengan type KW05-135 dan kapasitas 10.000 Kg. Peneliti membuat pellet silika dengan kandungan pasir silika berukuran butir seragam (100 mesh) sebanyak 8,74 g/cm3, menggunakan perekat jenis Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 400 sebanyak 0,57 g/cm3, dan Aluminium Powder 3,42 g/cm3. Cetakan yang digunakan Mold Pellet Silika Type Alloy 410 dengan diameter dalam 27 mm, diameter luar 57 mm dan ketinggian lubang cetakan 89 mm dengan penekanan 1000 Kg, 3000 Kg, dan 5000 Kg, serta memberikan suhu sintering sebesar 1200°C. Adapun nilai porositas optimum yang diperoleh sebesar 39,25% dan nilai permeabilitas optimum yang di dapatkan sebesar 57 mD.

Abstract

This work sought to investigate the effect of varying the frequency of an applied electric field on the dielectric constant of raphia hookeri. The aim of the work was to ascertain the suitability of using the sample for engineering applications. It was revealed, from the recorded results, that the dielectric constant of the sample decays exponentially with frequency. Also, greater degree of polarisation was observed with decrease in frequency. Again, as a good thermal insulator, it was revealed that the values of the sample’s dielectric constant compared favourably with those of commonly used conventional dielectric materials. Thus, it is obvious that if put into production cycle, the sample can serve as a low-cost and environmentally friendly material suitable for engineering applications within audio frequency range. This will, in turn, help to provide raw material for electronic industry and also improve the economy.

Abstract

Stress Corrosion Cracking [SCC] atau korosi retak tegang merupakan kegagalan logam korosi hasil peretakan intergranular dan transgranular dibawah pengaruh tegangan tarik dan lingkungan korosif. Stress Corrosion Cracking sering terjadi pada pipa bawah laut. Hal ini disebabkan karena pengelasan yang biasa dilakukan pada pipa menghasilkan tegangan sisa dan kombinasi dengan media air laut yang korosif menyebabkan terjadinya SCC. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami fenomena SCC dan mengkaji pengaruh variasi beban terhadap SCC pada material pipa AISI 304. Metode pengujian yang digunakan adalah C ring, dengan variasi beban 3 kN, 4kN dan 5kN. Matrial dicelup dalam media air laut selama 5 hari, 10 hari dan 15 hari. Pengujian yang dilakukan adalah uji kekerasan, pengambilan data kehilangan berat, perhitungan laju korosi dan pengukuran luas area retak dengan mikroskop optik. Hasil pengujian kekerasan menunjukan peningkatan nilai kekerasan spesimen setelah dilakukan pembebanan dari kekerasan awal 163 VHN naik menjadi 165,5 VHN Pada beban 3 kN, 186,3 VHN pada beban 4kN 189,1 VHN dan pada beban 5kN. Kehilangan berat dan laju korosi dipengaruhi besarnya beban dan lamanya waktu pencelupan. Kehilangan berat dan laju korosi terbesar terjadi pada spesimen dengan beban 5 kN dan waktu pencelupan 15 hari dan yang terkecil terjadi pada beban 3 kN dan pencelupan 5 hari. Luas retak juga meningkat dengan naiknya beban dan bertambahnya waktu perendaman. Spesimen yang memiliki area retak terbesar terjadi pada spesimen dengan beban 5 kN dengan waktu pencelupan 15 hari yaitu sebesar 999039,09 µₘ2 dan spesimen yang memiliki area retak terkecil ialah spesimen dengan beban 3 kN pada waktu pencelupan 5 hari sebesar 285494,76 µₘ2. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa beban yang diberikan sebaiknya maksimal hanya sebesar 4 kN, karena peningkatan beban di atas nilai tersebut menyebabkan laju korosi meningkat tajam

Abstract

One of the production problems that arise at the Gathering Station is an unstable production problem, this is caused by controlling the level of fluid in the wash tank that is less than the maximum for that need to be improved by changing the system from manual to automatic. To maintain the stability of production at the gathering station, special measures such as controlling fluid levels in the storage tanks need to be carried out, monitoring pressure, temperature monitoring and so on that can have a positive effect on oil production at the gathering station. Wash Tank is a tank that is useful for temporary storage of liquid fluid (liquid) that comes from the boot gas. The liquid fluid entering the wash tank consists of a mixture of crude oil and water. At the Wash tank the process of separation between crude oil and water. This washing tank is the largest tank compared to other processing tanks at the gathering station, its diameter is around 85 ft to 90 ft, and its height is around 35 ft to 40 ft. The normal level in the separation process is 36 ft, where the level 1 ft - 29 ft is the water level, while the level 29 ft - 36 ft is the oil level. The 1ft - 29 ft level is referred to as the interface level, where the water level is expected to be at level 29 and the thickness of the oil / oil stock tank 7 ft in the wash tank. Research conducted on the problem of controlling the level of fluid in the wash tank, where manual control is ineffective and inefficient, for this reason it is necessary to change from a manual to automatic process with the ROC (Remote Operation Control) system, the changes made are expected to maintain the interface and the oil stock tank in accordance with the set point that has been determined and where the amount of oil production per day at the gathering station is very influential on the oil stock tank so that the oil pumped to the shipping line has a BS&W below 1% and has a temperature of 130 ° F -150 ° F In order to obtain this value, we must maintain the interface and the oil stock tank in accordance with the specified set point and where the amount of oil production per day at the gathering station is very influential on the oil stock tank
