Abstract

The crisis in petroleum is caused by the diminishing supply of petroleum resources from nature. This phenomenon encourages researchers to continue to look for processes and methods to produce energy from other resources. One of these ways is to produce energy that can be utilized from waste, including converting waste cooking oil into biofuel. This method not only could provide a source of renewable energy, but also help resolve the issue of household waste. The process used to produce biofuel from waste cooking oil is by catalytic cracking, where waste cooking oil after pretreatment is converted into biofuel in the flow reactor with H-USY catalyst. In this research, the reaction temperatures used are 400 °C, 450 °C, 500 °C and 550 °C and reaction times are 30, 45 and 60 minutes with the mass ratio of the amount of waste cooking oil to the amount of catalyst used is 40:1 (w/w). The highest yield of liquid biofuel product was obtained at 60.98%. The use of H-USY catalyst shows that the distribution of components contained in biofuel are 28.02% of diesel products (C17 -C20), 23.96% of gasoline (C6 –C12) and 7.78% of Heavy oil (C20 >) in catalytic cracking of waste cooking oil with a reaction time of 45 minutes at a temperature of 450 °C.

Abstract

Increasing of ambient temperature due to global warming has a direct impact on increasing the room temperature. Heat from surrounding is transferred to building wall and room. By installing the Vertical Greenery System (VGS) on the building wall, it can be an alternative for heat absorber and eco-friendly indicator. The aims of this study are to determine the temperature that can be reduced by VGS type Green Façade (GF) and  achieve the energy consumption reduction because of GF installation.  GF is installed on the building wall, property of Mining Engineering Department, Sriwijaya University, to measure its temperature, then compare it with the  temperature on control wall. The results showed that the GF can reduce the room temperature up to 1,2oC, compared to the control wall and the average is 0,3oC. The decrease in average temperature causes a decrease in energy consumption due to the use of air conditioners by 1.56-1.92%. Keywords: global warming, green facade, thermal evaluation, vertical greenery system
