Abstract

Sukodono District, Sidoarjo, experienced soil degradation due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers without the accompaniment of organic fertilizers. As a solution, training on making humic acid from water hyacinth was carried out in Plumbungan Village on May 14–23, 2025. This activity aims to improve farmers' knowledge and skills in processing local organic matter into environmentally friendly liquid fertilizer. The training included socialization, leaflet distribution, and direct practice of fermenting water hyacinth with additional rice washing water, brown sugar, and MOL. The results of the activity show an increase in farmers' understanding and enthusiasm for the use of plant waste as organic fertilizer. Humic acid is considered to be able to improve soil structure and increase agricultural yields. This program is the first step to encourage sustainable agriculture and make farmers more independent in using local resources productively.

Abstract

This observation analyzes Minyakita sales forecasting at PT Java Agri Sukses Makmur using the POM-QM application. Accurate sales forecasting is important for stock planning and management. Sales data were collected through interviews conducted over three months (March-May 2025). Three forecasting methods were employed, namely linear trend analysis, Single Exponential Smoothing, and Simple Moving Average. The results of Trend Analysis Linear show a sales pattern that tends to increase. The regression equation is Demand(y) = 11,267.68 + 881.664xTime. Although the Bias value (0.001) is close to zero, error values such as MAD (4,663,778), MSE (28,397,000), and Standard Error (5,837.5) show a fairly high error rate. However, the MAPE value (30.745%) is considered feasible for medium-term forecasting. The correlation coefficient of 0.496 and R² of 0.246 indicate a moderate relationship, with the variation in sales explained by time accounting for only 24.6%. Single Exponential Smoothing (\alpha=0.1) resulted in a Bias of 1,684.15 (tends to underestimate) and MAPE of 32.77%, with a forecast of 17,307.56 units for the next period. Simple Moving Average shows a MAPE of 27.191% (feasible), with a forecast of 19,616.25 cartons. Overall, the linear trend model is suitable for identifying long-term patterns, but less responsive to short-term fluctuations. These forecasting results are expected to support PT Java Agri Sukses Makmur in production and marketing strategies.

Abstract

Indonesia is expected to compete with other countries in the industrial sector, which plays a crucial role in the economic growth of a nation for its development. In several industries in Indonesia, NaOH plays a critical role in the production process, serving both as a primary component and as a supporting component. In the chemical industry, the chlor-alkali process is a crucial electrolytic technique utilized. The products generated from this process include Cl2, H2, and NaOH. This research utilizes traditional salt as a raw material for the production of NaOH, considering that traditional salt has a high NaCl content and also contains H2O, which is expected to yield NaOH with optimal concentration. This study aims to produce technical-grade NaOH that complies with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) by examining the effects of electrical voltage and electrolysis time on the NaOH produced through the electrolysis process. The stages of this research include the preparation of a salt solution, the electrolysis process, and product analysis. The study was conducted with an NaCl concentration of 86.72% at electrical voltages of 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15 volts during the electrolysis process. Additionally, the electrolysis durations used were 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 minutes. The weight of NaOH produced at an electrical voltage of 12.5 volts and a time of 100 minutes was 1.081 grams of NaOH.

Abstract

Batu City is recognised as one of Indonesia's primary apple production centres, boasting significant potential for the development of fruit-based processed products. This study aims to analyze the mass balance and yield at each stage of the apple juice production process to obtain optimal production efficiency. The production process involves washing, crushing, filtering, mixing, cooking, and packaging. The mass balance was analyzed based on the principle of mass balance, while the yield was calculated from the ratio of output to input at each process stage. The results showed that the filtering process produced the lowest yield of 91.6% due to the waste of apple pulp, while the crushing and mixing process showed a yield of 100%. The mass balance calculation showed a match between the input and output masses at each process stage. This study emphasizes the importance of applying process engineering principles in food processing to increase efficiency, reduce material waste, and ensure production sustainability.

Abstract

Imperata cylindrica, commonly known as alang-alang, is a fast-growing, abundant, and underutilised grass often considered a weed. However, its high cellulose content makes it a promising lignocellulosic biomass for renewable glucose production. This study explores the synthesis of glucose from Imperata cylindrica through acid hydrolysis, with the aim of utilizing this low-cost biomass as a sustainable raw material for bio-based products. The hydrolysis process was investigated using two main variables: hydrolysis time (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 hours) and acid concentration (1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, and 3%). The resulting hydrolysates containing glucose were analyzed using a refractometer, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and further optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The highest glucose content obtained by refractometer was 6.5%, while RSM predicted a maximum of 6.49%, and UV-Vis analysis showed 6.34%. All optimal results were achieved under the condition of 2.5 hours of hydrolysis time and a 3% acid concentration. These findings highlight the potential of Imperata cylindrica as a viable and sustainable feedstock for glucose production through acid hydrolysis, contributing to the development of alternative bio-resources.

Abstract

Developing new products based on sustainable product development is not easy. It is necessary to consider various aspects such as price, quality, consumers, competitors, and others. Large-scale companies have the resource capacity to develop new products. However, for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with limited capital and equipment, developing new products that are successful in the market response is a complicated job. This community service activity aims to educate SMEs about sustainable new product development and the basic procedures for developing a new product. It is carried out in collaboration with partners from PERMAI Penang, targeting Indonesian workers in Malaysia who may be trying to develop independent businesses. Specifically, this training will help participants 1) Identify the type of product to be developed, 2) Understand all aspects related to new product development, 3) Understand the standard stages of product development. By increasing the knowledge of independent entrepreneurship among workers in Pulau Pineng Malaysia, we hope that more SMEs will succeed in developing products or services for consumers. Empowering employees to prioritize their welfare by knowing the basics of new product development will create additional income for migrant workers who take part in this training.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 9: Industrial Innovation & Responsible ProductionSDG 12: Sustainable Production & ConsumptionSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 17: Partnership for Sustainability
