Abstract

A case study in a steam power plant has been conducted and reported. There was a case of decrease in the freshwater production rate in multi effect distillation installations that may disrupt the operation of the power plant. The cause was suspected by the drop in vacuum pressure in the evaporation chamber. The study was conducted by studying the MED installation process diagram and performing the theoretical calculations of energy and mass equilibrium in each chamber. To make it easier to find the properties of water in the energy calculation then add ins water_97 in Microsoft Excel is added.Calculations were undertaken in two modes, commissioning period and 2016 operation mode. The difference of the two modes was vacuum pressure level in each chamber. Vacuum pressure level in 2016 operation mode was lower than commissioning mode. The calculation at commissioning mode resulted in a production rate of 133.56 ton/h, while the actual condition at that time was 127 ton/h. Calculations in 2016 operation mode produced a theoretical fresh water production rate of 101.37 ton/h.

Abstract

The Kwh Meter Automatic Meter Reading (Kwh Meter AMR) system is a system for recording electricity meters that is carried out automatically and remotely. Data communication sent by the AMR kWH meter at PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Indramayu uses an AMR modem as an electronic kWH meter interfacing with a wireless telecommunications network. The AMR kWh meter has a feature that besides recording the use of electrical energy used, it also records voltage, electric current, power factor, and the recording time of the customer's electricity usage meter is faster. PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Indramayu can carry out distribution network management which makes it easier in terms of distributing energy to customers and monitoring the use of electrical energy by customers. In operating the kWh meter AMR system can reduce losses caused by abnormal use of electrical energy by customers. These abnormalities include incorrect Wiring, errors in wiring on the Kwh Meter, Unbalance Current, unbalanced electricity usage by customers, Blank Kwh and AMR modem hangs/damages so that the communication signal is unstable and fails to retrieve data on electricity consumption by customers. To overcome these abnormalities, a check is carried out on the customer according to the findings of abnormal deviations in the AMR application. The use of unmeasured electrical energy during the Kwh Blank abnormality is 4,619 kWh with a total follow-up billing fee of Rp. 6,936,537.-. The results of the abnormality category of Incorrect Wiring were carried out by normalizing wiring errors in the Kwh Meter phase S and Phase T. The results of the Unbalance Current abnormality category, the electricity consumption at the customer at that time was not balanced, that is, the T phase was not used by the customer. The results of the AMR Modem abnormality category are replaced by the AMR Modem so that the customer's electricity consumption is again disabled in the AMR application.

Abstract

This research was conducted to find a solution to the problem of waste, especially organic waste which is generated from households and shopping centers, especially traditional markets. Many people do not understand how to deal with waste properly. The most common way that most people do is by burning organic waste. This has a negative impact on the environment and public health itself. Therefore it is necessary to do research on how this organic waste can be utilized for the benefit of society. One way to overcome the problem of organic waste is to make an organic waste chopper. The machine is equipped with a knife designed in such a way that it is capable of cutting to small sizes. In this study, this organic waste chopping machine will be used to produce pieces of waste which will then be used as biogas reactor material. To be continued in the process of making biogas. From the research results obtained the following machine specifications: Machine size with a length of 0.704 m, a width of 0.413 , and a height of 0.601 m. This organic waste shredder uses a motor with a power of 5.5 hp, a belt length of 798.47 mm, a drive pulley rotation of 2784.65 rpm and a blade rotation speed of 7.35 m/s.

Abstract

Water is a source of life for all living things. However, currently the amount of clean water available is very limited so that it is not comparable with the increasing growth of the world's population. The saving effort that can be done is to make the best use of water. One of them is by saving bath water by controlling the water level in the water reservoir. In this final project, an automatic faucet is designed using an ultrasonic sensor, namely a sensor that will detect the presence of an object and remove or turn off water automatically with the main actuator using a servo motor. In filling the water reservoir to prevent water from overflowing, an ultrasonic sensor is used which will automatically fill when the water volume distance is not within the specified range and will also automatically stop filling when it is within the specified range. So that no more water is wasted due to user negligence.

Abstract

Cricket drying is an important process in the production of animal feed and the rearing of certain animals. Dried crickets have a longer shelf life, more stable nutritional content, and a lower risk of contamination. Therefore, the use of an efficient and controlled cricket dryer is important to achieve optimal results. The main objective of the design of a cricket dryer with PID control is to create a system that can adjust the drying temperature automatically. With this control system, it is expected to be able to overcome the problem of the drying process which is constrained by weather factors. The PID controller (from the English abbreviation: Proportional–Integral–Derivative controller) is a feedback mechanism controller that is usually used in industrial control systems. The control system is an inseparable part of processes in the field of industrial engineering, because with the help of control systems, desired results can be realized. The control system is needed to improve the response of the dynamic system so that the output signal is obtained as desired. A good control system has a good response to various input signals. Tools made with this system can dry raw materials with low moisture content, so that the dried raw materials can be directly processed into other forms, and the production process is not hampered by a shortage of raw materials. This tool is capable of producing temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius. A timer relay is also included to regulate the length of the drying process so that quality raw materials are obtained.

Abstract

Based on transformer loading at GI 70kV Babakan which is already 80% high bigger than capacity 30 MVA by reason there is a need for additional power supply for industrial development, one of which is the addition of PT. Longrich Indonesia for 25 MVA. With the existing condition of transformer loading at GI 70kV Babakan is currently unable to meet the power supply needs and the construction of GI 150kV Kanci is still in progress, therefore the installation of a mobile transformer at GI 70kV Babakan is intended to meet the need for additional power supply. In this study, simulating Electrical power in GI 70kV Babakan uses the ETAP Power Station 12.6 software and compares it with the results of manual calculations. Installing a Mobile Transformer with a capacity of 30 MVA at GI 70kV Babakan can increase the MVA capacity at GI 70kV Babakan so that it can meet the need for additional power supply, With the load on the mobile transformer and the daytime loading history of 48 MW and the highest load reached at 61 MW, the Mobile Transformer can be loaded with a maximum of 25 MVA. And transformers are still able to supply the area properly so there is no overload. and increase revenue through the sale of electricity.

Abstract

The system of gouramy cultivation in ponds conducted by the community of Tambelang Bekasi Regency is still based on their experiences that develop in an unwritten manner with the application of the Pendederan I, Pendederan II, and Pendederan III systems to anticipate the length of time they need to go from ready to consumption. Pendederan II in addition to the need for optimization on input variables (feed, sente leaves, area maintenance officers) is also a transition period that is vulnerable to predators or predators such as snakes, bats, and cork fish. Techniques and methods for dealing with predators are being developed by these farmers. The analytical approach that examines the system of gouramy cultivation in pond ponds conducted by the Tambelang Bekasi Community becomes a very urgent matter considering that the results of preliminary studies conducted on yields obtained in nursery II only range from 60% to 70% of the entire seedling population distributed . The results of the analysis of mathematical models of carp culture in pond ponds in Tambelang District, Kabasi show the results that mathematical solutions through numerical simulation are strongly influenced by intrinsic rate and emphasis on the number of predators in the form of pool sterilization efforts every three months.
