Abstract

The catalytic pyrolysis of polypropylene (PP) has attracted considerable attention as a promising approach for converting plastic waste into valuable fuels; however, the development of low-cost and sustainable catalysts remains a major challenge. In this study, the catalytic pyrolysis of polypropylene was conducted to investigate the effect of nickel supported on activated carbon (Ni/AC) derived from sago waste on liquid yield and hydrocarbon selectivity. Pyrolysis experiments were performed at 500 °C using catalyst loadings of 2.5 g, 5 g, and 7.5 g, alongside a non-catalytic run for comparison. The introduction of Ni/AC significantly enhanced liquid production compared to thermal pyrolysis, with the optimum yield achieved at moderate catalyst loading. Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis confirmed that the liquid fraction was mainly composed of hydrocarbons in the gasoline (C₅–C₁₂) and diesel (C₁₃–C₂₀) ranges. Higher catalyst loading promoted secondary cracking, shifting selectivity toward gaseous products. These findings demonstrate that Ni/AC catalysts from sago waste provide an effective and sustainable approach for converting plastic waste into fuel-like hydrocarbons, underscoring their potential role in plastic waste valorization and sustainable energy development.

Abstract

The development of a real estate area potentially generates additional traffic movements that may affect the performance of surrounding road networks. This study aimed to analyze the traffic impacts generated by the development of PT Meditec Prima Land Real Estate located on Cibadak–Cikidang–Pelabuhan Ratu Road, Pamuruyuan Village, Sukabumi Regency. The study was conducted to identify existing traffic conditions, predict traffic performance during the construction and operational phases, and formulate appropriate mitigation measures. The research employed primary data collection through field surveys including road inventory, traffic volume counting, and observation of transportation conditions around the study area. The collected data were analyzed using trip generation and attraction analysis, trip distribution, modal split, and traffic assignment approaches. The results indicated that the construction and operational activities of the real estate development potentially increased traffic volumes on nearby road segments and intersections. Traffic performance simulations under several scenarios showed that without proper handling measures, the increase in traffic flow could reduce the level of service of the road network in the future. Therefore, traffic management and engineering measures were recommended, including access management, provision of adequate parking facilities, scheduling of construction vehicle operations, and installation of road equipment and pedestrian facilities. The implementation of these measures was expected to minimize traffic impacts and maintain traffic safety and mobility in the surrounding area.

Abstract

The construction of multi-story buildings requires structural designs that ensure safety, strength, and adequate structural performance under various loading conditions. This study aimed to analyze and design reinforced concrete beam elements in a seven-story building using structural analysis software. The object of the study was the Civil Engineering Department building of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Lampung. Structural analysis was carried out through three-dimensional modeling to evaluate the structural response under load combinations consisting of dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and earthquake loads. The analysis produced internal force responses, including bending moments, shear forces, and torsional forces acting on the beam elements. These results were used to determine appropriate beam dimensions and reinforcement requirements in order to satisfy structural strength and stability criteria. The findings indicated that the designed beam dimensions and reinforcement configurations were capable of resisting the applied load combinations with structural deformations remaining within acceptable limits. Furthermore, the evaluation of structural capacity confirmed that the beam design satisfied the required safety and performance criteria. Therefore, the reinforced concrete beam design for the seven-story building was considered structurally safe and suitable for implementation in multi-story building structural planning.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the oil palm industry has generated substantial biomass waste, particularly from oil palm trunks during replanting activities. Improper management of this waste can cause environmental problems, while its high lignocellulosic content offers potential for conversion into organic fertilizer. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing oil palm trunk waste as compost through a biodecomposition process. The compost was produced using a mixture of oil palm trunk biomass and organic additives, followed by physicochemical analysis to assess compost quality. The results showed that the compost contained C-organic levels ranging from 46.3% to 52.1%, C/N ratios between 20.2 and 21.9, pH values of 7.58–8.00, and total macronutrient content (N + P₂O₅ + K₂O) of 7.03–8.74%. All parameters met the quality standards for solid organic fertilizers according to SNI No. 7763: 2024. These findings indicate that oil palm trunk compost has good maturity and nutrient content, making it suitable for improving soil fertility and supporting sustainable oil palm replanting. The study highlights the potential of converting oil palm trunk waste into value-added organic fertilizer as part of a sustainable waste management strategy.

Abstract

Meteorological drought is one of the hydrometeorological phenomena that frequently occurs and has the potential to cause serious impacts on water availability, agricultural activities, and the sustainability of community livelihoods. This condition requires a deeper understanding of drought patterns as well as the capability to anticipate the likelihood of future drought events. This study aims to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of meteorological drought in the Blega Watershed using the China-Z Index (CZI) at multiple time scales, namely CZI-1, CZI-3, CZI-6, CZI-12, and CZI-24, while also mapping areas vulnerable to drought. In addition, this study develops drought forecasting using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model to estimate future drought trends. The results indicate that the CZI is capable of capturing fluctuations in drought conditions from wet to dry categories across different time scales and identifying areas with varying levels of drought vulnerability within the Blega Watershed. Time series modeling shows that the SARIMA (0,0,0)(1,0,1)12 model provides the best predictive performance, with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) value of 0.599, indicating that the model is reasonably accurate in representing drought dynamics. These findings suggest that drought patterns in the study area are influenced by annual seasonal variations closely related to rainfall distribution. Therefore, this study not only provides a scientific overview of meteorological drought characteristics in the Blega Watershed but also offers valuable information for drought mitigation planning, water resource management, and more responsive policy-making toward climate variability.

Abstract

This study addresses the inaccurate detection of mango (Mangifera indica) leaf diseases, which can reduce plant productivity. A deep-learning-based automatic detection system is proposed to identify five leaf diseases (Mangifera indica): anthracnose, cutting weevil, dieback, powdery mildew, and sooty mold. This study compares two object detection models, namely YOLOv12n and YOLOv26n, with a dataset of 1,970 images. The data is annotated and divided into training, validation, and testing with weights of 70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively. Both YOLO models were trained for 100 epochs and evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. The results of this study indicate that YOLOv26n performs better during testing, with an average accuracy of 97,06%, a recall of 98,76%, a precision of 98,25%, and an F1 score of 98,50%. In comparison, YOLOv12n achieved 94,52% accuracy, 98,92% recall, 95,47% precision, and 97,16% F1 score. Although YOLOv12n had slightly better training loss, YOLOv26n delivered more consistent performance, particularly in mean average precision (mAP) at higher thresholds. Therefore, YOLOv26n is better at identifying mango leaf diseases and has greater potential for real-time agricultural applications.

Abstract

PLC is a programmable logic control system that uses a microprocessor as the main controller and is widely applied in industrial automation processes such as monitoring and controlling production machinery. The system is equipped with input and output devices that interact with external components such as buttons, sensors, actuators, and other hardware devices. This technology has been implemented in various fields, including cement production processes. In this study, the programmable logic controller was used to modify the auto dosing system for cement additive with the aim of improving dosing accuracy, enabling real-time monitoring, and developing an auto dosing system capable of adapting to changes in feed material. The previous system operated manually and relied heavily on operator intervention, resulting in inconsistent dosing performance. To overcome these limitations, a programmable logic controller-based control system integrated with a supervisory control and data acquisition system was implemented. The system applied a closed-loop control method to regulate the dosing process in order to achieve stable and consistent output. System performance was evaluated by comparing the accuracy and stability of the flow rate before and after modification. The analysis results showed that the proposed system reduced the error between the setpoint and the actual flowmeter reading from 16% to 3%, decreased flow fluctuations, and improved process stability. In addition, the system enabled centralized monitoring and reduced operator dependency, thereby improving operational efficiency.
