Abstract

Instruments have become an essential part of conducting a study or research. With the aid of instruments, the measurement process can be faster, more efficient, and more accurate. However, an instrument also has a limited service life. Over time, the performance of the instrument will degrade. Therefore, the equipment must be regularly maintained and calibrated periodically. This research aims to test the measurement consistency of a low-cost seismometer (RS-3D). The approach involves long-term measurements to assess the instrument's stability in taking measurements. The measurement data is then processed and presented as frequencies using spectrum analysis. The research findings indicate that the instrument's consistency is generally good, with an average standard deviation of 0.18 and a coefficient of variation of 5%. Additionally, 95% confidence interval calculations yielded values of 2.520.02 for measurements at RKD, 3.040.05 for measurements at GLT-USK, and 3.30.04 for measurements at GFT-USK. Data validation was performed using the equations from building codes, showing that the difference between the measured microtremor frequency and the empirical equation was less than 1, indicating good measurement results. The conclusion drawn from this study is that a higher standard deviation value indicates a more distributed data spread, signifying less consistent research data. Conversely, a lower standard deviation indicates that the data is more concentrated around the mean value, indicating more consistent measurement results. Moreover, with previous studies having conducted validation and consistency testing, it is hoped that both tests will be routinely performed during instrument maintenance.

Abstract

Ring of fire passes through Indonesia, causing the presence of abundant mineral resource potential. Potential minerals in Indonesia are formed by hydrothermal processes. One of the hydrothermal deposits is a high-sulfidation epithermal (HSE) deposit. The appropriate geophysical methods can be used to find potential mineral resources. The geomagnetic method can detect mineralization by analyzing the development of structural pattern control. Tilt derivative filters used in magnetic data can clarify anomalous boundaries, especially structural straightness boundaries. The analysis showed that the mineralized zone had a distribution of low susceptibility values of 0.0054 to -0.0178cgs. due to destructive magnetite minerals in the advanced argillic alteration zone. Tilt derivative analysis shows the shape of a low circular anomalous pattern that extends north-south towards the boundary of the left horizontal fault, which develops into a faulty fault complex as control of mineralization. The method integration produces an HSE precipitate conceptual model, in which the presence of alteration and mineralization is controlled by a left horizontal fault zone that forms a fault complex descending in it and develops into a northwest-southeast tension vein plating dipping opening as estimation of mineralized pathways in the "X" Region, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the application of the Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) method for identifying potential slip surfaces in the Desa Seumadam region, a known landslide-prone area. By employing geophysical techniques, the assessment has been made in order to delineate the subsurface characteristics for slip surface identification landslide volume estimation. Based on data interpretation regarding the resistivity model of the subsurface in the study area, the slip surface or weak zone is classified as a clay layer underlain by sand and clayey sand layer. The clay is identified with resistivity value varying from 7 54.5 m and located at depth of 6 to 11.68 m while the sand and clayey sand layer are categorized with resistivity value of 4 1395 m with a thickness of 11.68 m. As for the estimation of landslide volume, the calculation was made using the landslide mass volume potential approach and found that the landslide volume is estimated at around 2.139 m3. It is believed that the study not only reveals the potential slip surface of the study area but also enhances the understanding of landslide mechanisms. The findings reveal valuable insights into the geological factors contributing to landslides, facilitating informed decision-making for landslide risk mitigation and land-use planning.

Abstract

Coal-mining mud is one of the wastes that must be treated before being discharged into the environment. The mud contains a lot of heavy metals which have the potential to pollute the environment and endanger human health. On the other hand, the metal contents in the mud can be used as components to strengthen building materials such as brick. In this study, an investigation was carried out to check whether the risk of heavy metal contamination in the coal-mining mud can be minimized when the brick is produced. In addition, this study also tested whether the bricks produced from the utilization of the mud were strong enough to be used as construction materials. The results obtained indicate that metal contamination can be significantly minimized through the solidification process of brick products and is following the Indonesian national quality standards. This study also shows that even though the bricks meet the strength standard for the certain purpose applied in Indonesia, the utilization of coal-mining mud mixed with cement and sand was not sufficient to produce strong bricks even though the weight obtained was quite light.

Abstract

This research is related to calcareous shale whose samples were obtained from surface data (outcrop). This rock outcrop is characterized as a rock rich in organic material and impermeable, so it is predicted to become a source rock of oil and gas petroleum system. The amount of organic content or carbon material and the level of maturity of the rock is a benchmark for determining whether or not it is appropriate to be called a source rock of the petroleum system in the North Sumatra Basin (NSB) area. The method used in the present study is the rock-eval pyrolysis method and the determination of Total Organic Carbon is carried out through laboratory testing. Based on the results of Rock-Eval Pyrolysis testing, the maturity level or Tmax of the rock is 446-degree Celsius which indicates the peak mature category with kerogen type in the form of II/III which tends to produce oil and gas prone. The results of the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) test show a value of 1.26% which is included in the category of organic matter richness in the good category. Based on the results of these two tests, it can be concluded that the Calcareous shale found in the North Sumatra Basin (NSB) can be categorized as a good Source Rock with a Peak Mature maturity level and has the potential to produce Oil and Gas (Mixed oil and gases).

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review on the development of mathematical models for forecasting energy consumption using a probabilistic approach, particularly focusing on the Bayesian Dynamic Linear Model (BDLM). The research method employed is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), utilizing literature sources indexed in Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar, with publication dates ranging from 2014 to 2024. The findings of the research indicate that the application of BDLM has made a significant contribution to the optimization of energy management, especially in sectors such as industry and commercial buildings. The study highlights the effectiveness of BDLM in accurately predicting energy consumption through a probabilistic approach that efficiently manages uncertainty. However, the research also emphasizes that BDLM presents limitations and challenges that warrant attention, including the complexity involved in parameter determination and model validation processes, as well as the importance of addressing potential biases and considering factors such as deployment impacts. This research provides deep insights into the potential and challenges in the development of mathematical models for forecasting energy consumption, while also offering directions for further research in this field.

Abstract

Water softening is a crucial process in various industrial applications, and the selection of an appropriate system involves balancing technical efficiency, environmental impact, and economic considerations. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of two prominent industrial water softening systems, Nanofiltration (NF) and Ion Exchanger (IX), through a multidimensional lens. The systems design and sizing were simulated with computer assistance, using the DuPonts WAVE Water Treatment Design Software version 1.82. The technical evaluation, based on simulations, revealed that IX outperformed NF in total hardness removal ( 99%) at the expense of a slight increase in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). In contrast, NF demonstrated a superior ability to reduce TDS, albeit with lesser total hardness removal. Environmental considerations highlighted trade-offs, with NF generating higher wastewater volumes and IX producing wastewater with highly concentrated TDS, necessitating complex treatment processes. Economically, NF generally incurred higher Total Annual Costs (TAC) at lower total hardness concentrations, while IX became costlier at higher concentrations. A selection chart is introduced to aid decision-making based on economic considerations. This research offers valuable insights for industries seeking an optimal water softening solution, balancing technical efficiency, environmental impact, and economic considerations. The findings provide a nuanced understanding to guide system selection based on specific water quality requirements and economic constraints.

Abstract

The blasting activity generates one of the effects in the form of toxic gases (fumes) that can disturb living beings around them. Fumes formation is formed by the reaction of the explosive material not in a zero oxygen balance condition, and is influenced by several factors including the condition of the blast hole, rock moisture content, blast hole temperature and relative humidity, sleep blast, explosive material ratio, and poor confinement stemming. This study investigates the variations in site condition and blast geometry on the formation fumes in open-pit coal mining. This research was conducted at the coal mine of Kaltim Prima Coal (PT KPC) to quantitatively measure the levels of toxic gas (fumes) resulting from blasting activities. In-situ measurements were conducted using a gas detector suspended above a drone. From the measurement results, it was found that blasting activities at the PT KPC coal mine produce CO and NO2 gases in toxic gas visual conditions at Levels 0 and 1A. The CO gas levels resulting from blasting activities ranged from 60.34 to 324.79 ppm, and the NO2 gas levels ranged from 0.3 to 2.11 ppm. From the trial results, by altering the explosive material ratio, toxic gas visual conditions were observed at Level 2A with CO gas levels of 360.29 ppm and NO2 gas levels of 3.16 ppm. The formation of CO and NO2 gases from blasting is influenced by the blast hole temperature and humidity, as well as differences in explosive material ratios. Based on the gas CO and NO2 level measurements, according to the threshold values with the maximum exposure level for humans over a 15-minute period for both gases, it was determined that workers could safely return to the blasting site in less than 1 minute.
