Abstract

Abstrak. Separator merupakan alat pemisah minyak atsiri dari air destilat pada proses penyulingan minyak atsiri. Perancangan separator disesuaikan dengan berat jenis minyak atsiri yang akan diproses. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan desain dan uji kinerja alat separator minyak atsiri skala laboratorium kapasitas 25 liter secara gravitasi dengan laju destilat sebesar 4.0 – 4.5 L/jam. Hasil uji fungsional menunjukkan komponen separator berfungsi secara baik sesuai dengan fungsinya baik secara individu maupun dalam rakitan mesin. Proses pemisahan dilakukan dengan cara mengalirkan campuran minyak dan air ke dalam separator dengan debit 4.0 – 4.5 L/jam menggunakan pompa aquarium.Hasil rendemen diperoleh nilai berkisar antara 0.82 – 0.88% pada volume minyak yang ditambahkan mulai dari 100 – 150 mL. Artinya diperoleh volume minyak yang masih tertinggal diseparator berkisar antara 18 – 20 mL. Bila waktu pemisahan diperpanjang hingga 12 jam maka akan diperoleh minyak yang tertinggal berkisar 2-5 mL. Manufacture and Performance Test of Laboratory Scale Essential Oil Separator Equipment with a Capacity of 25 LitersAbstract. The separator is a means of separating essential oils from distilled water in the essential oil refining process. The design of the separator is adjusted to the specific gravity of the essential oil to be processed. The purpose of this study was to test the performance of a laboratory scale essential oil separator with a capacity of 25 liters by gravity with a distillate rate of 4.0 – 4.5 L/hour. The results of the functional test show that the separator components function properly according to their functions, both individually and in machine assembly. The separation process is carried out by flowing a mixture of oil and water into the separator with a discharge of 4.0 – 4.5 L/hour using an aquarium pump. The yield results obtained values ranging from 0.82 to 0.88% in the volume of oil added from 100 to 150 mL. This means that the volume of oil that is still left in the separator ranges from 18 to 20 mL. If the separation time is extended to 12 hours, the remaining oil will be in the range of 2-5 mL.
