Abstract

This article explains various synthesis methods for rGO-TiO2 materials and their applications in colored wastewater treatment. The methods discussed include hydrothermal, sol-gel, ultrasonication, wet impregnation, electrospinning, and electrophoresis. Each method has its own advantages: the hydrothermal and sol-gel methods enhance photocatalytic activity through the integration of TiO2 and rGO; ultrasonication and wet impregnation methods are effective in uniquely improving photocatalytic performance; while electrophoresis (EPD) and electrospinning methods excel in forming high-quality coatings and nanofibers that boost photocatalytic activity. The choice of method depends on the specific application and desired material properties. The hydrothermal and sol-gel methods are well-suited for photocatalytic applications, while EPD and electrospinning methods are superior for other applications, such as improving photovoltaic performance.

Abstract

Sungai Tohor area, Meranti Islands, Riau, is a producer of sago in Indonesia and has great potential as a producer of sago flour. Sago flour production also produces waste in the form of sago dregs. Sago utilisation in Meranti Regency is still limited, sago stems (tual) are processed in factories (sago refineries) to produce sago flour with a production volume of 450,000 tonnes/year. This sago processing also produces side waste in the form of sago pulp as much as 75-83%. This provides potential in the utilisation of sago pulp as an environmentally friendly alternative energy source. This research aims to develop biopellets from sago pulp as a biomass fuel that can replace fossil fuels. The analysis results show that sago pulp biopellets have a moisture content of 8.22%, ash content of 30.51%, volatile matter of 22.01%, and calorific value of 4,599 cal/gr, which fulfils the SNI 01-6235-2000 standard. The CO and SOx gas emission measurements from the combustion of biopellets were below the threshold set in the Regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Health No. 1077 Year 2011 and SNI 7626-2013. The thermal efficiency of combustion reached 28.15%, indicating that sago pulp biopellets have great potential as an efficient and environmentally friendly biomass fuel, supporting sustainable energy transition in Indonesia.

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent is a type of organic agro-industrial waste from the by-product of the processing of fresh oil palm fruit bunches to produce Crude Palm Oil. The management of POME as biogas is an added value for companies to meet the needs of energy sources in the Palm Oil Mill, both for Crude Palm Oil, Kernel Crushing Plant, and domestic needs as a source of electrical energy. POME is a colloidal suspension containing 95-96% water, 0.6-0.7% oil and 4-5% fat and total solids. Anaerobic degradation of POME is the main stage in the biogas production process at the Sei Pagar Palm Oil Factory. The ambient temperature was measured at 08.00, 13.00, and 18.00 for 11 days of testing. To analyze the effect of ambient temperature on sample temperature, a sample temperature test was carried out using a pH meter for each ambient temperature test. To analyze the impact of ambient temperature on the flow rate of gas produced and methane content in biogas, the sensor flow rate was checked with the valve at the reactor outlet fully open. The ambient temperature of the reactor does not change the sample temperature because the temperature in the reactor is controlled by the feed entering the reactor. The average temperature of the reactor environment is lower than the reactor so that it does not affect the gas flow rate (biogas formation process). The average temperature of the reactor environment is lower than the reactor temperature so that it does not affect the formation of methane.

Abstract

The Rokan Block is one of Indonesia's largest oil producers. It is managed by PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) and contributes 25% to Indonesia's total oil production. The Central Gathering Station (CGS) “X” at PT PHR utilizes shell and tube heat exchangers (HEX) to effectively heat produced fluids, thereby enhancing the separation of crude oil. Despite their utility, several challenges—such as uneven fluid distribution, fouling, and tube plugging—have compromised the performance of heat exchangers (HEX). These issues can result in some units failing to reach the desired temperature. This study assessed the performance of HEX at CGS X using Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating (EDR) software, concentrating on key parameters including the heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop, and fluid velocity. The analysis revealed that low fluid velocity within the shell increased the risk of fouling, and a fouling resistance exceeding 0.03 ℉·hr·ft²/Btu significantly diminished efficiency. To address this, a redesigned heat exchanger (HEX) was proposed to optimize fluid velocity, achieving a rate of 1.15 ft/s. This adjustment reduced fouling and enhanced heat transfer while maintaining economic feasibility by decreasing the required heat transfer area. Operational recommendations based on the performance evaluation included making appropriate fluid distribution adjustments and conducting timely maintenance to ensure reliable operation

Abstract

Pulp production always has a bleaching process that uses chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as a bleaching pulp agent. One of the ClO2 production units that are used in the Pulp Industry in Indonesia is a ClO2 R8 non-integrated plant with the process of reacting sodium chlorate, sulfuric acid, and methanol. This ClO2 production type has a weakness, especially in supplying the raw material sodium chlorate, which is needed to import, and the characteristics are easy to explode, making production costs high. This research aims to modify the ClO2 R8 non-integrated by changing to a ClO2 semi-integrated plant. In this research, HYSYS was used to simulation to get mass and energy balance and other component data, and the design of equipment based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Kern, internal data company, and others to get the specification equipment and also drawn using Autocad. The last step is to account for the economic for getting cost of production before and after modification, fixed capital cost, benefit, payback period, and return on investment. The resulting area, the first, modification of the ClO2 R8 plant by changing to ClO2 semi-integrated could produce chlorate solution 510 g/l which they use electrolyzers system from Chemetics with 20 cell M25 and hypo system. Second, the cost production for the ClO2 semi-integrated plant is 1393 USD/T, the benefit is 599.79 USD/year, the Payback period (PBP) is 6,65 years with an investment of about 3988 KUSD and RoI 15%.
