Abstract

Leachate water from final waste landfill (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir, TPA) contains harmful substances for the environment and living organisms. Furthermore, the leachate water can deteriorate equipment buried near TPA, e.g. buried water pipe. This work investigated the corrosion rate of mild steel SPCC SD after immersion in leachate water of TPA Gunung Kupang and Cahaya Kencana located in South Kalimantan. The steel plate immersion into leachate water was worked out in 3 different cases. The first case was 2 weeks immersion in leachate water followed by 1 week contact with ambient air. In the second case, steel plate was immersed in leachate water for 1 week and then 2 weeks in direct contact with ambient air. The last one was steel plate immersion in leachate water for 3 weeks without any direct contact with ambient air. The investigation shows that longer contact duration between wet steel surface, after immersion in leachate water, with ambient air increases the corrosion rate. The investigation shows also that the corrosion rate due to leachate water from Gunung Kupang landfill is higher than that of Cahaya Kencana landfill. Corrosion rate for TPA Gunung Kupang case varies from 0.441 to 0.718 mmpy. Meanwhile, corrosion rate for TPA Cahaya Kencana varies from 0.131 to 0.495 mmpy. This is due to lower pH of leachate water from TPA Mount Kupang.

Abstract

The research was to investigate the effect of solution treatment on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Zr-10Ti-Sn alloy for dental implant biomaterials. The addition of titanium as a material has good corrosion resistance and stannum as a material has a low modulus young and can increase hardness of the alloy in accordance with the material criteria as a dental implant, which must have good corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. Zr -10Ti-xSn alloy (x = 0, 2, and 4% wt) were subjected to solution treatment with temperature variations of 900oC, 1000oC and 1100oC with water quenching. The results  is increase in stannum content can also increase the hardness because stannum can inhibit the enlargement of grain boundaries and the microstructure is more homogeneous and tends to be smaller with an uniaxial shape. Stannum as alpha stabilizer will form a hard alpha phase. Micro Vickers hardness test with the highest hardness value of 601,438 HV alloy Zr-10Ti-2Sn with 900oC solution treatment, phases formed were α-Zr and β-Zr and intermetallic Zr4Sn and SnTi3 Zr-10Ti-4Sn alloys which were identified using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD).

Abstract

In shrimp farming, feeding is an important activity to achieve good shrimp growth. Manual feeding manually using hand is less effective due to unequal food distribution. Thus, an automatic feeder is required to dispense feed at predetermined time. The advantages of automatic feeder are cost-effective, low labour requirement, and can be applicable for large volumes of feed. Design of automatic feeder machine can influence the capacity and time controlling of the feeder. In this research, the automatic feeder was designed using a controlling time system based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. During plant trial, The automatic feeding was scheduled at 7 am, 11 am, 4 pm, and 8 pm. This machine could throw shrimp food homogeneously up to 10 m far for 2,500 m2 pond area. In shrimp farming, distribution of shrimp food in predetermined time becomes an important rule to achieve good shrimp growth.

Abstract

A small diesel engine is a machine that has high efficiency but causes a high level of pollution. The most widely used fuel so far is fossil energy which is unrenewable energy. The fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum plant has great potential to be developed as alternative energy for small diesel engines. In this study, the test fuel used was D100, B100, E5, E10, and E15. The small engine diesel used TG-R180 Diesel with a compression ratio of 20:1 at engine turns 1500, 1800, 2100, and 2400 rpm, and the braking load at a constant prony disc brake is 1,5 kg/cm2. The result of the study using E10 fuel can improve engine performance and can reduce the opacity of the exhaust gas. The highest power in the D100 fuel at 2100 rpm is 8,06 PS. The highest thermal efficiency of E10 fuel is 50,29%. The use of Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel (B100) can reduce exhaust gas opacity in small diesel engines when compared to the use of D100. E10 fuel has the lowest exhaust gas opacity rate of 4,1%.

Abstract

Although Indonesia is abundant supply of salak (Salacca zalacca) fruit, bark of salak is not yet advanced utilized. This work therefore chracterized its fiber and process it into polymer matrix composites. The study was conducted using varied chemical treatments. Delignification using NaOH solution with concentration of 1%, 5%, 10% with 3 hours immersion time. Bleaching treatment was using H2O2 media with varied immersion time at 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Tensile tests, impact tests, microscopic image test using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical composition test using fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy were carried out in this work. This work showed that optimal delignification treatment can be found when 5% NaOH concentration was used. The corresponding ultimate tensile strength and impact strength were 25.47 MPa and 11.95 kJ/m2, respectively. The optimal bleaching treatment was 90 minutes immersion. The results of SEM image analysis showed that the salak midrib fiber composite without treatment has a lousy interface. Meanwhile, fiber with delignification treatment only has reasonable good interface and fiber with delignation treatment followed by bleaching treatment has excellent interface. FTIR test results showed that the salak midrib fiber composite without treatment had a cellulose component although hemicellulose and lignin levels still dominated. The delignification treatment had succesfully broken the lignin-specific C = O bond but still could not eliminated hemicellulose and lignin bond. In comparison, bleaching treatment reduced intensity of OH intensity, CH and CO which are typical hemicellulose and lignin functional groups. Based on the results of the study, salak midrib fiber with delignification chemical treatment using 5% NaOH for 3 hours followed by bleaching treatment using 2% H2O2 for 90 minutes was the best treatment.

Abstract

Limited resource of fossil fuel inspires many research activities to search for alternative energy. This work offers alternative solution to address this problem through charcoal gasification. The goal of this research is to find the amount of syngas produced in the gasification is process. The alternative fuel was produced from the mixing rice husk and low quality coal due to their abundant resource in South Kalimantan. The mixture was then gasified at 500 °C. The highest syngas volume at 29.56 L was in the sample of SP 200 gr and BB 0 then followed at 25.7 L for ratio SP 180 gr : BB 20 gr. The lowest produced syngas 19.45 was produced from the sample with ratio SP 100 gr : BB 100 gr. This gasification process also resulted in side product, i.e. tar component which varies from 22.5 mL to 58.75 mL.

Abstract

Camshaft gear temperature simulations are presently crucial as they offer a distinctive visual account of the temperature profile within the generator, they permit superior manufacturing assessment and the design of heat-resistant camshaft gear with high performance and low cost. However, available information to designers is inadequate as they omit the approximate global maximum temperature, particularly for the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear in a 1.1 kVA elepaq generator. In this article, the idea is to simulate and account for the global minimum and maximum temperature using the Inventor and ANSYS software. The stress-induced on the generator was considered. The results of the simulation revealed an approximate global maximum temperature of the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear as 37°C max with 22°C min. Furthermore, the global minimum at 35°C max with 21°C min was considered. Besides, the structural steel global maximum of 38°C max, 25°C min and global minimum 35°C max, 24°C min. The stress values did not exceed 0.1419 MPa on ANSYS but the ANSYS revealed that the camshaft gear strain was within safe limits. The simulation approach predicts the minimum and maximum temperature of the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear and the stress and strain values. The utility of this attempt is to help designers to implement effective decisions on material choice and design parameters for optimisation, performance and low-cost design.

Abstract

PT Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) is the largest container port in Indonesia. Currently, JICT capacity is 2.5 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) per year, it continues to strive to improve international services and is supported by adequate container loading and unloading equipment. The requirement to establish common standards in different types of container port equipment and identify performance indicators to assess the performance of container handling equipment has increased. Although the Quay Container Crane (QCC) operating system may be different at each container terminal, there are similarities in its main movements, namely: Main Hoist, Trolley, Gantry, and Boom. By knowing the clock metric for each movement, it is possible to determine the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that has been adopted and assess the performance of the Quay Container Crane (QCC). The results of the study identified that the value of MMBF (Mean Move Between Failures) decreased due to the accumulation of long-lasting heavy load operations, while the number of maintenance activities for machine parts and working hours continued to increase. Key Performance Indicator (KPI) as a management tool can guide QCC inspections and the results can provide useful insights for improving the performance of equipment and container loading and unloading operations in the future.

Abstract

In recent few years, many works have been dedicated to search for new source of renewable energy. In this study, new source of renewable energy is based in the briquette made from mixture of ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri) powder and gelam (Melaleuca leucadendron) wood powder. The mixture was carbonized at temperature of 500 oC ± 10 oC for 120 minutes. The size of the particles used was 50 mesh while the ratio between wood powder adhesives, i.e. starch powder, used in the study was 1:1. The composition variations between ironwood charcoal and gelam were 100% ironwood charcoal powder and 0% gelam, 70%: 30%, 50%: 50%, 30%: 70%, 0% ironwood: 100% gelam. The compaction pressure during briquette production was varied at 100 kg/cm2, 125 kg/cm2 and 150 kg/cm2.  The highest combustion temperature at 205 oC occurred in the specimen with composition of 30% ironwood powder and 70% gelam wood powder with compaction pressure of 100 kg/cm2. The longest burning duration 140 minutes (2 hours 20 minutes) occurred at composition of 50% ironwood powder and 50% gelam wood powder at compaction pressure of 150 kg/cm2. The fastest initial ignition time was 7 minutes and occurred for mixture with composition of 70% ironwood powder and 30% gelam wood powder at compaction pressure of 125 kg/cm2.
