Abstract

Binder is a crucial component in briquette production, serving to consolidate charcoal particles into a solid form. This study aims to analyze the effect of tapioca starch concentration as a binder on the reduction of ash content in coconut shell briquettes. The binder concentrations used were 10%, 15%, and 20% of the total material mixture, with ash content testing conducted according to SNI 01-6235-2000 standards. The briquette production process included raw material preparation, mixing, molding, and drying. The results showed that binder concentration significantly affected the briquette's ash content. Lower binder concentrations resulted in reduced ash content, with the optimal ash content of 1.52% achieved at a 10% binder concentration. Excess binder tended to increase ash content due to residual binder that did not fully combust. These findings highlight the importance of controlling binder concentration to improve the quality of coconut shell briquettes as an alternative fuel source.

Abstract

The coagulation test for coal wastewater was conducted using the jar test method to evaluate the performance of different coagulants under varying pH and dosage conditions. The coagulants used were FeCl₃, Al₂(SO₄)₃, and Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC). The optimal conditions were determined by adjusting the pH (5, 6, 7, and 8) and varying the coagulant dosage at each pH level. The parameters analyzed included turbidity, pH, total suspended solids (TSS), and metal content. Laboratory results indicate that PAC is the most effective coagulant for reducing contaminants in coal wastewater. The optimal coagulation conditions were achieved at pH 8 with a PAC dosage of 1 ppm. The coagulants function by destabilizing colloidal particles, with their efficiency influenced by solubility and pH conditions. FeCl₃ and Al₂(SO₄)₃, as cationic coagulants, exhibit pH-dependent solubility, significantly lowering the pH of treated water compared to PAC. Conversely, PAC performs optimally in alkaline conditions and induces a smaller pH reduction. Overall, PAC demonstrated superior coagulation performance, achieving turbidity of 2.06 NTU, TSS of 5 mg/L, Fe content of 0.11 mg/L, Mn content of 0.01 mg/L, and Al content of 0.01 mg/L. These findings confirm that PAC is the most effective and efficient coagulant for treating coal wastewater.

Abstract

The heating process is very common in many industrial fields. The heating process usually uses steam as a heating medium, especially in large-scale industries. In small-scale industries, heating with electricity is more effective and energy efficient. This study aims to examine the ability of the servo motor as an actuator to regulate the temperature in the electric heating process. The servo motor used is MG995 DC (5 Volt) with a rotation of 180O and a torque of 10 kgf/cm. The servo motor is used to rotate the potentiometer lever to regulate the power supply to the heating system. This servo motor is controlled by a PID control system with feedback input parameters in the form of DC voltage obtained from the conversion of the process temperature value (OC) using a type-K thermocouple with a sensitivity of 41V /OC. The feedback voltage from the amplified thermocouple voltage is then compared with the set point voltage (the desired process temperature value). The results of the study indicate that the servo motor can work well as an actuator to maintain the process temperature because of its accuracy in regulating the potentiometer rotation position with a PWM control range between 5% and 10%. Based on the findings of this study, it can be said that servo motors can be used as accurate actuators in regulating the supply of electrical power for electrical heating systems in industry.

Abstract

Fuel Gas Booster Compressors play a critical role in process industries by increasing the pressure of fuel gas from low to high levels to meet operational requirements. This study aims to optimize the performance of the Fuel Gas Booster Compressor (K-750X B) at Unit 75 PT. X using Aspen HYSYS simulation. Optimization is conducted by analyzing the effects of operational parameters, including flow rate, pressure, and feed gas temperature from the dehydration unit, on compressor performance. The research methodology involves collecting actual operational data from the Distributed Control System (DCS) and field measurements, simulating the process using Aspen HYSYS, and validating simulation results with real operational data. The simulation results indicate significant discrepancies between actual and theoretical operating conditions, particularly in terms of flow rate, pressure, and temperature. The actual flow rate was found to be 2.125 m³/s, significantly lower than the theoretical 5.616 m³/s. Additionally, the feed suction and discharge temperature and pressure exhibited declines, impacting the compressor’s efficiency. This study confirms that simulation-based optimization provides valuable insights into improving the operational efficiency of Fuel Gas Booster Compressors

Abstract

Waste management is a challenge because landfills are almost full. Incineration is a vital solution in waste management because it can significantly reduce waste volume and eliminate hazardous substances through a high-temperature combustion process of at least 600 °C, thereby helping to reduce waste accumulation in landfills and its impact on the environment. Monitoring temperature and exhaust gas is essential to ensure combustion efficiency and maintain emissions within safe limits. This study aims to design and implement an accurate real-time monitoring system to support incinerator management to be more efficient and environmentally friendly. Temperature monitoring uses a thermocouple sensor and the MAX6675 module, exhaust gas emissions use MQ7 and MQ135 sensors to detect CO and CO2. The thermocouple sensor used has an accuracy level of 99.23%, while exhaust gas monitoring uses an MQ-135 sensor to measure CO2 with an accuracy of 98.93 % and an MQ-7 sensor for CO with an accuracy of 92.14 %. No-load incinerator temperature testing showed a peak temperature of 323 °C, which then decreased due to fuel depletion. Testing with waste load showed the temperature increased more slowly but reached a higher peak of 616 °C. During the combustion process, CO content increased to 150 ppm during incomplete combustion, while CO2 peaked at 6,000 ppm and then decreased as complete combustion progressed. Future expectations require improvements in air flow regulation and the application of a scrubbing system to optimize combustion and reduce emissions.
