Abstract

Bangkalan’s shoreline, especially on the opposite side of Surabaya, has been evaluated to determine the morphological changes due to wave attack, near-shore current, long-shore sediment transport and coastal configuration. This research aims to determine the dominant patterns of variation of Bangkalan’s shoreline change, expressed by Eigen-function in empirical orthogonal function (EOF) models. That was started with data collection such as oceanographic data (wave and tidal), bathymetry and topographic map and sediment data. All data was used for forecasting two-monthly shoreline. Coordinate of two-monthly shoreline was used as input of EOF model. The first Eigen mode is a profile of shoreline equilibrium. The second Eigen mode shows pivot point that separates the different behaviors, which indicates a positive balance of shoreline from the direction of the dominant force. The models execution based on 1986’s shoreline show the shoreline change significantly at some cells e.g. around Suramadu bridge (cell 1-40), Batuporon (cell 70-100), Jungdima (cell 142-170) and at Kamal port (cell 230-250). The model of shoreline change using EOF was validated with the One-line model and data of 1995’s map’s shoreline. The E.O.F. value of model RMSE, 0.02, is less than the root mean square error (RMSE) value of One-line model, 0.04, which shows that the EOF model performance better than One-line models.Keywords: Bangkalan, Eigen-function, EOF, one-line model, shoreline change

Abstract

Hard water causes the CaCO3 scale formation on the pipe walls and heat exchanger equipments in industrial or domestic water processes. A great number of experimental researches on the prevention of the CaCO3 precipitation process by magnetic field have been carried out. In this research, Na2CO3 and CaCl2 solutions was magnetized in the circulated flow condition (dynamic fluid system). The velocity of fluid and the circulation time was modified to examine its influences to the magnetization process. CaCO3 content was measured by titration method of EDTA complexometry. Conductivity test was conducted to find out hydrate ion bonding. The results showed that magnetization increased the CaCO3 formation and the optimum process reaches for 10 minutes circulation on 0.554 m/s of flow rate. Magnetic field decreases the conductivities of Na2CO3 and CaCl2 solution, hence reduced the ion hydrate bonding. These results showed that magnetization on Na2CO3 and CaCl2 ionic solution was effective in controlling the CaCO3 formation by increasing CaCO3 precipitation. Keywords: CaCO3 conductivity, magnetic carbonate solution, precipitation

Abstract

Microbial xylanases or xylanolytic enzyme have received considerable attention over the last years owing to a multitude of possible applications. These enzymes have potential in the biodegradation of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels, chemicals, fruit juice, animal feed and in improving rumen digestion. More recently, the use of xylanases as bleaching agent in the pulp and paper industry has been suggested to replace of some of the chemicals presently used for this purpose. Such applications could have an important positive impact on the environment. The purpose of this research was determining the synergy of 3 recombinant xylanolytic enzymes (β-xylosidase, exo-xylanase and α-L-arabinofuranosidase) from recombinant Eschericia coli BL21 (DE-star) in xylan hydrolysis by analysis the reduction sugar product. Purified of recombinant xylanolytic enzyme β-xylosidase (Xyl), exo-xylanase (Exo-Xyl) and α-L-arabinofuranosidase (Abfa) with Ni-NTA resin. Seven samples of enzyme (each and enzyme mixture) used to hydrolyze xylan substrate (oat-spelt xylan). Analysis of hydrolysis product was done by HPLC. The xylanolytic activities of this enzyme before and after purification were 0,91 and 9,94 U/mL (Exo-Xyl); 1,65 and 14,2 U/mL (Xyl); 0,65 and 5,6 U/mL (Abfa). The xylosidase activity were 2,37 and 14,3 U/mL (Xyl); 1,49 and 10,5 U/mL (Exo-Xyl); 2,54 and 18,6 U/mL (Abfa). The highest hydrolysis product of xylan (xylose) shown in enzyme mixture of exo-xylanase and β-xylosidase was 1,084 mg/mL. Keywords: α-L-arabinofuranosidase, β-xylosidase, exo-xylanase, xylan, xylose

Abstract

This study uses DEA solution to absorb CO2 from the gas flow through the hollow fiber membrane contactors. Thisstudy aims to evaluate the performance of hollow fiber membrane contactors to absorb CO2 gas using DEA solution assolvent through mass transfer and hydrodynamics studies. The use of DEA solution is to reduce the mass transferresistance in the liquid phase, and on the other side, the large contact area of the membrane surface can cover thedisadvantage of membrane contactors; additional mass transfer resistance in the membrane phase. During experiments,CO2 feed flows through the fiber lumens, while the 0.01 M DEA solution flows in the shell side of membranecontactors. Experimental results show that the mass transfer coefficients and fluxes of CO2 increase with an increase inboth water and DEA solution flow rates. Increasing the amount of fibers in the contactors will decrease the masstransfer and fluxes at the same DEA solution flow rate. Mass transfer coefficients and CO2 fluxes using DEA solutioncan achieve 28,000 and 7.6 million times greater than using water as solvent, respectively. Hydrodynamics studiesshow that the liquid pressure drops in the contactors increase with increasing liquid flow rate and number of fibers inthe contactors. The friction between water and the fibers in the contactor was more pronounced at lower velocities, andtherefore, the value of the friction factor is also higher at lower velocities.Keywords: hydrodynamics, mass transfer, membrane contactor

Abstract

Modelling and Simulation of Packed Bed Catalytic Converter for Oxidation of Soot in Diesel Powered VehiclesFlue Gas. Diesel vehicle is used in Indonesia in very big number. This vehicle exhausts pollutants especially diesel sootthat can be reduces by using a catalytic converter to convert the soot to CO2. To obtain the optimal dimension ofcatalytic converter it is needed a model that can represent the profile of soot weight, temperature and pressure along thecatalytic converter. In this study, a model is developed for packed bed catalytic converter in an adiabatic conditionbased on a kinetic study that has been reported previously. Calculation of developed equations in this model usesPolymath 5.X solver with Range Kutta Method. The simulation result shows that temperature profile along catalyticconverter increases with the decrease of soot weight, while pressure profile decreases. The increase of soot weight inentering gas increases the needed converter length. On the other hand, the increase of catalyst diameter does not affectto soot weight along converter and temperature profile, but results a less pressure drop. For 2.500 c diesel engine,packed bed catalytic converter with ellipse's cross sectional of 14,5X7,5 cm diagonal and 0,8 cm catalyst particlediameter, needs 4,1 cm length.Keywords: catalytic converter, soot, diesel engine

Abstract

The Effects of Influent Debit on Hydrodynamic Characteristic of Bojongsoang Facultative Pond: Without WindEffects. The performance of facultative pond in Bojongsoang WWTP have reported to be unstable. One of the cause ofthe unstable performance is the hydrodynamic characteristics that not met the criterion. The improper hydrodynamiccharacteristics are included the existence of dead-zone, the short-circuiting, and the turbulence due to eddy current. Thestudy was to analyze the effect of the influent debit variation on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the pond usingmathematical model. The two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was built from two hydrodynamic equations which arecontinuity and momentum equations. The equations were solved by finite-difference numerical method of semi-implicit(Crank-Nicolson). From the simulation results, the Froude number of the water flow was analyzed. Beside that, theeffective residence time and the effective area were calculated. All of them were done to analyzed the existence of thedead-zone in the pond. The simulation results show that the dead-zone was exist in the center of the pond. when theinfluent debit was larger, the effective residence time and the effective area become larger. The distribution of theFroude number value shows that the area with the value of 10-10 become reduced in the larger influent debit. Theexistence of the dead-zone was reduced since the influent debit become larger. It can be said that the larger influentdebit can improve the hydrodynamic characteristics of the pond.Keywords: dead-zone, facultative pond, Froude number, hydrodynamic characteristics, influent debit
