Abstract

Biocorossion in terrestrial and marinal habitats has been widely studied including the involvement of sulphate reducing bacteria which are of particular concern in the oil and gas industries. One of the sulphate reducing bacteria that triggers biocorossion is Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. This study examines the effectiveness of Gracilaria edulis macroalgae methanol extract obtained from Sayang Heulang Beach Pamengpeuk District, Garut Regency, West Java as a candidate for carbon steel biocorrosion inhibitors in seawater media. Gracilaria edulis extraction process using Folch extraction method (chloroform: methanol: phosphate buffer, 2: 1: 0.8 (v / v)). Separation of the crude methanol-water phase extract using silica column chromatography G-60 7733 with n-hexane: acetone (8: 2, 5: 5, 2: 8 (v / v)) and methanol p.a. From the results of the analysis using a UV spectrophotometer (190-400 nm) there were five combined fractions (Fraction A-Fraction E). Total content of phenolic compounds (TPC) in crude extracts of methanol-water, fraction C and fraction E respectively (410.77; 285.30; 309.51) (mg/gr GAE). The results of the qualitative test of the ability of biocorrosion inhibition of crude extracts of methanol-water phase, fraction C and fraction E by using commercial nails in solid media incubated for four days showed a decrease in the corrosion intensity on nails. Quantitative tests on the ability of biocorrosion inhibition were carried out using the weight-loss method and the results of quantitative tests showed the corrosion rate of fraction C was 12.14 ± 1.09 mpy and the fraction E was 13.94 ± 1.82 mpy for 2.5% NaCl medium while the corrosion rate of fraction C was 10.73 ± 3.63 mpy and the fraction E was 11.72 ± 0.59 mpy for seawater media. The optimum concentration test results in the inhibition showed the smallest corrosion rate fraction C was found at 0.2 mg / mL TPC levels both in 2.5% NaCl media and seawater media which each had a corrosion rate of 12.91 mpy and 8.09 mpy and the optimum concentration of fraction E was found in TPC levels of 0.4 mg / mL (2.5% NaCl media) with a corrosion rate of 14.32 mpy and TPC levels of 0.1 mg / mL (sea water medium) with a corrosion rate of 12.14 mpy. By using the optimum fraction C concentration, the results showed that the fraction C had the maximum resistance in inhibiting for 8 days (192 hours). Analysis of carbon steel plates using SEM and EDS showed that T. ferrooxidans bacterial cells formed a biofilm layer on the surface of the carbon steel plate with a localized density but mostly dominated the carbon steel plate surface and by the addition of SEM image inhibitors showed the carbon steel plate forming a layer thin that protects the metal surface and decreases the solubility of iron sulfide in water. The test results using EDS devices also detect the presence of sulfur elements and a decrease in the percentage of iron element mass on carbon steel plates without inhibitors.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to uncover how accounting practices related to social and environmental aspects in the Bakaru hydropower plant are carried out. The informants in this study consisted of employees and local communities around the company. They have a good understanding of the issues under study. Data is collected through observation and recording of documentation in various situations in the field. The collected data were analyzed using a qualitative approach using the theory of critical communicative action from Jürgen Habermas. This approach is used to examine the real practice of social and environmental accounting. The results showed that the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program at the Bakaru hydropower plant is in line with the view of how natural relationships should be carried out, in accordance with the concept of truth proposed by Jurgen Habermas. That is, companies are responsible for the impact of their operations, and this is based on the expectations of various interested parties. The company has also achieved a level of compliance in this regard, by implementing CSR through disclosure to the public. However, there is a problem in the budget allocation for CSR programs every year, because the implementation of these programs does not run effectively. In this case, the Bakaru hydropower plant does not fully meet claims of authenticity or honesty, and most of the programs carried out are still assistance and do not have a focus on sustainability in terms of reporting, prevention, and maintenance of environmental activities.
