Abstract

Ultrafiltration membranes include a type of porous membrane with a porous size order between 0.01 – 0.1 ?m. The size of the small pores can be made phase inverse. Ultrafiltration is used to separate macromolecules and colloids from their solutions. The ultrafiltrated membrane has an asymmetrical structure with a denser upper layer (the porous size is smaller than the lower surface porosity), so the hydrodynamic retention will be larger. The objective of this study is to optimize the regular coagulation tub on the 19% PSf membrane manufacturing process with DMF solvent and to optimise the performance of the optimum PSF membrane in the processing of liquid waste of the PKS (palm coconut plant) with the ultrafiltration process. In the membrane performance testing process, the materials and tools used are polysulfonic polymers with dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents, whereas the instruments used are a set of ultrafiltration modules consisting of a centrifugal pump, ultra-filtration cell, pressure gauge, barrel, permeation tank, feed tank, and hose. This phase of the study starts with membrane preparation, SEM analysis, initial analysis of PCS liquid waste sample, 19% membrane operation performance test with coagulation bath temperature variable 40; 50; 60  C and adjusting pressure with variation 5; 10; 15; 20; 25 Psi, then determining membrane performance test which is permeability, flow, and rejection coefficients. The results obtained from this study show that a 19% PsfDMF membrane with a coagulation bath temperature of 50 C is the membrane that has the most optimum performance used for the POME wastewater treatment

Abstract

The increasing number of motorized vehicles in urban areas significantly impacts air quality and public health. Gasoline engine emissions, including CO, HC, and NOx, contribute to pollution issues such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective emission control strategies. This study investigates the effect of ethanol-blended gasoline on vehicular emissions, focusing on CO, HC, and NOx. The research aims to optimize fuel mixtures to reduce harmful emissions while considering environmental and health impacts. The study uses a quantitative experimental design, combining laboratory tests with field trials on 10 vehicles under controlled conditions. Results show that ethanol-blended fuels significantly reduced CO emissions, from 2.4 g/km (E0) to 1.5 g/km (E30). A moderate reduction was observed in HC emissions, from 0.55 g/km (E0) to 0.40 g/km (E30). A slight decrease in NOx emissions was noted. Ethanol's oxygen content improves combustion efficiency, reducing CO and HC emissions, but may slightly increase NOx due to combustion temperature changes. This study highlights the potential of ethanol as an environmentally friendly fuel alternative, with further research needed to address NOx-related challenges

Abstract

Inventory management of raw materials is a crucial aspect in ensuring the smooth production process of the palm oil industry. This study examines the effectiveness of integrating forecasting models and Material Requirement Planning (MRP) to optimize the inventory of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) raw materials at PT Salapian Indo Sawit. The palm oil industry in Indonesia represents about 3.5% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides employment for more than 17 million people. Inaccuracies in raw material inventory management lead to disruptions in the production process and inefficiencies in operational costs. The literature review shows that MRP methods with lot-for-lot techniques have been effectively implemented in various industries, but their application in the palm oil sector is still limited. The objective of this research is to analyze optimal forecasting methods for CPO raw material requirements and evaluate the efficiency of MRP implementation compared to conventional methods. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of forecasting methods (Moving Average and Single Exponential Smoothing) with MRP specifically for the palm oil industry, considering the unique characteristics of the palm oil supply chain. The study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with demand and historical production data from June 2020 to May 2021. The results indicate that the Single Exponential Smoothing method with ?=0.5 provides the best forecasting accuracy (MAPE=0.120; MSE=436.17). Implementing MRP with lot-for-lot techniques results in significant efficiencies, including a reduction in order frequency (26.67%), a reduction in order quantity (7.63%), and a reduction in initial inventory (8.10%). This study concludes that integrating an accurate forecasting model with the MRP system is effective for optimizing CPO raw material inventory and enhancing the operational efficiency of the company.
