Abstract

Empty fruit bunch (EFB) is one of the abundant biomass waste from oil palm and it is an issue that it can be used as renewable energy in the form of Bio-oil. Bio-oil is produced by a thermal cracking process. This research aims to identify the potential environmental impact of Bio-oil production from EFB as fuel. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with gate to gate approach is used in data processing applications for networks in Simapro V.9 and the database used is similar to the characteristics of the eco invent database. Functional units are used to show environmental references in impact categories, such as energy used and global warming potency. The results show that the stage of the bio-oil production cycle in the pretreatment process has a greater global warming impact than the others, amounting to 131.10013 kg CO2 eq. The results of the analysis using the networking graph on the Simapri, show that the environmental hotspot of the thermal cracking process for Bio-oil production is caused by the use of electricity from the State Electricity Company (PLN) and the release of chemical substances from the process. From the results of the LCA, environmental performance improvement or continuous improvement can be done is by managing energy use and installing equipment.

Abstract

Coffee productivity experiences fluctuations where production from year to year always fluctuates but judging from the development of the business world which is increasing, especially in agriculture with coffee producing centers. Natural coffee cultivation activities certainly require maintenance costs which are not a few things this also cannot meet from one's capital alone and requires additional capital from other parties. In doing this business, not all farmers have sufficient capital to run their business, so the community needs additional capital to increase their business. One of the financial institutions that provide loans is bandages through the KUR guarantee program, which is 80 percent of which is indeed allocated to the agricultural sector. Meanwhile, in South OKU District itself, almost all coffee farmers are banking customers who get KUR credit facilities from several banks in Muara Dua OKU Selatan. During the pandemic, it can be said that it has not experienced the problem of bad debts which is so meaningful. So this attracted researchers to further examine the factors that affect the return of KUR by farmers in coffee farming in Runjung Agung District, Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan District. The focus of this study will be to review more deeply what factors affect the repayment of KUR on coffee farming in Runjung Agung District, Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan District (ownership status, income from coffee farming, land area, coffee farming costs, number of family dependents, loan amount, and credit repayment period)

Abstract

Due to the rising demand for motor vehicle fuel, Indonesia's requirement for fossil fuels rises by an average of 10% annually. The supply of fossil energy, which serves as the primary raw material for generating fuel oil, is negatively correlated with the demand for fuel (BBM). Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB), Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB), and fiber were the types of oil palm bunches employed in this investigation. EFB and fiber are industrial by products that are currently being used inefficiently and frequently pollute the environment. This trash is still only very minimally processed; it is still stored, burned in the incinerator, used as mulch on oil palm fields, and composted. 51.2 percent cellulose and 16.30 percent lignin are both present in EFB. Lignin makes up 20.0 percent of fiber, whereas cellulose makes up 57.0 percent. Through chemical and enzymatic procedures, this cellulose content may be exploited as a source of reducing sugars. FFB is used as a benchmark to evaluate how effectively the prototype tool works. Different kinds of high-quality bioethanol are produced from each raw source. Different kinds of high-quality bioethanol are produced from each raw source. Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB), which have a refractive index of 1.35676 and a volume of 2,192 ml, are the best quality of bioethanol made from raw materials. The findings demonstrated that varied volumes and refractive indices were produced depending on how raw materials were treated. The quality generated improves with increased treatment volume. Alkaline delignification was followed by acid delignification to get the optimum grade. Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) material, which had a refractive index of 1.34376, 2,105 ml of bioethanol, and a 68.15 percent ethanol concentration. This study is unique in that it includes a bioethanol trap to quicken the conversion of steam into liquid bioethanol. Condensation is completed in 15–20 minutes less time thanks to the bioethanol trap.

Abstract

Ayunan Village, located in the Abiansemal district of Badung, Bali. This village is about 20 km to the north from Denpasar city, towards the village of Sangeh tourist attraction and ayun park. Balinese cattle are germ plasm that must be preserved, because Bali is one of the sources of Balinese cattle breeding and the only area believed to have pure genetic B ali cattle. The increase in income will encourage farmers to raise more cattle, Balinese cattle rearing pattern is still traditional and only as a sideline in between farming time. The process of managing the maintenance of cows in partners has been good although it is still very simple. Direct observations in the Karang Ayu livestock group in Ayunan village, Abiansemal District, illustrated that Bali cattle rearing activities are very constrained by capital, feed, cow rearing management, manure channels and how to increase farmers' income from cow dung processing businesses. The main problems that will be the focus of solving the problem are the low productivity in processing manure into organic fertilizer and the low business efficiency and business sustainability of organic fertilizer products from manure. The methods used are: Presentation and plot as well as direct practice of making manure from cow dung using EM4 candy and fermented for 4 weeks. The results of this activity are expected to increase production and productivity and produce organic fertilizer from cow dung that can be sold so as to increase the income of Balinese cattle farmers in Ayunan Village.

Abstract

Indonesia as a large population country has the potential to become one of the largest consumers of sugar in the world. Indonesia's national sugar needs amounted to 3.2 million tons per year while domestic production was around 2 million tons. In the sugar industry, the benefits of evaporator tools are to thicken clear juice whose dissolved solid number is 7 - 11 oBrix into a thickened syrup with a dissolved solid of 55 - 60 oBrix, this process occurs through the process of evaporation of water content contained in the material. In one sugar factory, the type of evaporator used is a Semi-Kestner Evaporator with the quintuple effect principle. One of the biggest challenges of evaporators is the decrease in heat value of the evaporator due to the onset of mineral crust that inhibits heat transfer. On September 7th, 2021 Q evaporator 1 is at 135874.8 Kw and on October 26th, 2021 Q evaporator 1 is at 121399.2 Kw. Based on the results of data observations on the evaporator carried out in September 2021 and October 2021, it can be concluded that the decreased heat transfer will cause the evaporator's performance in evaporating water from the sap material (clean juice) so that the material flow rate is getting bigger. Efforts that can be made to overcome this are to carry out mechanical cleaning or chemical cleaning per 28 days of the grinding process, to remove crusts on the tube calandria evaporator.
