Abstract

Abstract:  The cooling water is a liquid medium used to cool down plastic film after it undergoes melting in the plastic film extrusion process. This research aims to determine the required amount of cooling water needed to cool the plastic film before it enters the cutting process. The research method involved collecting primary data from the factory and determining the heat and cooling water requirements using thermodynamic equation calculations. The results indicate that a flow rate of 475 kg/hour of plastic film releases heat into the cooling water at an average rate of 19175.9043 kcal/hour, with an average cooling water requirement of 983.366925 L/hour.Abstrak: Air pendingin merupakan media cairan yang digunakan untuk pendinginan film plastik setelah mengalami peleburan pada proses ekstrusi film plastik.

Abstract

Abstract: For the demineralized water treatment process, the water from the Portable Water Pound is pumped to the Reverse Osmosis system by a centrifugal pump. The pump provides the necessary force for the fluid to reach the Reverse Osmosis system. In a piping system, fluid flow in water treatment industries experiences pressure drop. The objective of this research is to determine the pressure loss and Reynolds number. The method includes calculating flow rate, Reynolds number, and pressure loss. The research results indicated that in a pipe diameter of 15 cm with a total pipe and fitting length of 5.0303 m, the average Reynolds number with an average fluid flow rate of 20.8 m3/hour was 61,411.46 (turbulent flow). Meanwhile, in a 10 cm diameter pipe with a total pipe and fitting length of 27.2228 m and the same average fluid flow rate, the Reynolds number was 86,671.40 (turbulent flow). The total pressure loss obtained at a temperature of 32°C is 323,382.68 Pa. The water flow rate has a positive relationship with the pressure loss in the pipe. The higher the flow rate, the greater the pressure loss. The Reynolds number also increases with the flow rate, indicating that higher flow rates result in higher Reynolds numbers and turbulence in the flow.Abstrak: Untuk proses pengolahan air demineral, air dari Portable Water Pound yang dipompakan menuju Reverse Osmosis membutuhkan tenaga yang diberikan oleh pompa. Pompa yang digunakan ialah pompa sentrifugal. Air yang dipompakan menuju Reverse Osmosis membutuhkan tekanan dari pompa sentrifugal tersebut agar fluida bisa sampai ke dalam Reverse Osmosis. Dalam suatu sistem perpipaan, aliran fluida dalam industri pengolahan air mengalami penurunan tekanan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan kehilangan tekanan dan bilangan Reynold. Metode yang digunakan meliputi perhitungan debit aliran, bilangan Reynolds, dan kehilangan tekanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada diameter pipa 15 cm dengan panjang pipa dan fitting 5,0303 m menghasilkan rata-rata bilangan Reynold dengan debit fluida rata-rata sebesar 20,8 m3/jam sebesar 61.411,46 (turbulensi). Sementara itu, pada diameter 10 cm dengan panjang pipa dan fitting 27,2228 m menghasilkan rata-rata bilangan Reynold dengan debit fluida yang sama sebesar 86.671,40 (turbulensi). Kehilangan tekanan total yang diperoleh pada suhu 32 0C adalah sebesar 323.382,68 Pa. Debit aliran air memiliki hubungan positif dengan kehilangan tekanan dalam pipa. Semakin tinggi debit aliran, semakin besar kehilangan tekanan yang terjadi. Bilangan Reynolds juga berbanding lurus dengan debit aliran, yang menunjukkan bahwa semakin besar debit aliran, semakin besar pula nilai Reynolds dan aliran akan mengalami turbulensi.

Abstract

A Water Treatment Unit (WTU) is a station that works on the processing and conditioning of raw water to meet the desired water quality. Water purification at PT. XYZ Kuala Tanjung uses raw water sourced from surface water or rivers. The river water used still contains solid substances and organic matter that render the water unsuitable for industrial use. Both suspended and colloidal solid substances can cause turbidity. Turbidity caused by solid substances can be addressed using coagulation techniques. The purpose of this research is to determine the optimal concentration and dosage of coagulant to clarify water in the WTU. The coagulant used is polyaluminum chloride (PAC). The research method is based on experiments using jar tests and stoichiometric calculations. The determination of the optimal coagulant is measured based on turbidity parameters. Experiments are conducted with varying concentrations of PAC ranging from 25-65 ppm, and the smallest turbidity value obtained is 1.21 NTU at a PAC concentration of 65 ppm, with a PAC requirement of 202.6679 kg/day. The higher the PAC concentration, the clearer the resulting water, but the daily requirement for PAC also increases.

Abstract

Black liquor is a residual cooking liquid containing organic chemicals utilized as fuel in the recovery boiler and inorganic chemicals that can be recovered into cooking liquid through the recovery boiler process. The recovery boiler is a specialized boiler unit used to restore black liquor by reducing sodium sulfate into sodium sulfide. The research method involved field observations, liquor content analysis, and stoichiometric calculations to determine the sodium sulfate requirement. The calculations revealed that the sodium sulfide content obtained from the recovery boiler process in green liquor was 24.428 g/l Na2O, requiring a reactive amount of 46,5225.0328 kg/day of sodium sulfate. The target sodium sulfide content in the green liquor aimed for was 18-30 g/l. The results indicated that the sodium sulfide content has met the predetermined target and can be utilized for subsequent processes.

Abstract

Biobriquettes are products obtained from the compaction process of biomass residue used as fuel and formed by using a binding agent. In this study, the biomass used comprised palm fronds and palm shells. The objective was to determine the characteristics of biobriquettes. The research methodology adopted was quantitative experimentation. Results showed that the highest calorific value of biobriquettes was 6729.92 cal/g (1:3-sago 15%), the lowest moisture content was 1.1168% (1:3-tapioca 10%), the lowest ash content was 9.5232% (1:3-sago 10%) and the highest density was 0.9927 g/cm3 (1:3-tapioca 20%). Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the optimal ratio of raw materials palm fronds to palm kernel shells for biobriquette fabrication is 1:3 with 10% tapioca flour and 10-15% sago flour as binders.

Abstract

The quality of latex significantly affects the quality level of rubber produced, with one of its parameters being the impurity level, with a standard value of 0.03%. The impurity level strongly influences the rubber quality, where higher impurity levels correspond to lower rubber quality, and vice versa. The research method employed was experimental and calculation using mass balance. The calculated results indicated impurity levels in the rubber as follows: 0.0059%, 0.0069%, 0.0074%, 0.0419%, 0.0054%, 0.0429%, and 0.0444%. The average total impurity level was 0.0219%. However, some rubber samples did not meet quality standards due to contaminated tapping equipment, inadequate washing processes, and damaged filtration tools. In the mass balance at the drying station, the first input material was 125 kg/hour with a water component balance of 50%, HAS (Hevea Acidic Solution) 12%, SMBS (Sodium Metabisulfite) 8%, and latex 30%. The second input material is 18.75 kg/hour, consisting of 100% steam. The output material at the drying station is 143.75 kg/hour, with a water component balance of 43.47%, HAS 10.43%, SMBS 6.95%, latex 26.08%, and steam 13.07%.

Abstract

Red Palm Oil (RPO) is the result of refining Crude Palm Oil (CPO). In further processing to obtain cooking oil, several processes are undergone to produce a clear oil, which is very different from its original product, CPO. RPO is rich in beta-carotene and its refining process does not include bleaching. The production of RPO utilizes the acid degumming method with different acid variations, namely phosphoric and sulfuric acid, with varying concentrations of 0.05% and 0.075%. The results showed that the average percentage of RPO produced reaches 44.05%. Furthermore, the quality analysis of RPO also meets the SNI-3741-1995 standards (quality standard of cooking oil), with the average of free fatty acid value of 1.41% (max 3%), peroxide value of 1.04 mg oxygen/100 g (max 1.6 mg oxygen/100 g), and moisture value of 0.04% (max 0.3%).
