ABSTRACT In Indonesia, caprolactam is not yet produced domestically, thus the demand must still be met through imports from other countries. Over the past five years, the volume of caprolactam imports has remained relatively high, ranging between 30,000 and 35,000 tons annually. Caprolactam is produced via the Toyo Rayon Photonitrosation process. This process aims to convert cyclohexane into c…
ABSTRAK Indonesia is one of the developing countries, which continues to experience growth. The need for acrylonitrile is quite large in Indonesia. However, currently, the need for acrylonitrile is used as an intermediate chemical component in the manufacture of acrylic fibers, plastic, synthetic rubber and many other products. The purpose of the preliminary design of this factory is to meet d…

The factory is planned to be located in Cilegon, West Java, under the name …
ABSTRACT Methyl ester sulfonate (MES) is a group of anionic surfactants made through the sulfonation process. Methyl ester sulfonic acid is used to make liquid detergents. In Indonesia, there are not many factories or producers of methyl ester sulfonic acid so that imports are made to meet the needs. Therefore, the processing of methyl ester sulfonic acid is needed to meet the needs of methyl …
ABSTRAC In today’s digital era, the availability of a stable and efficient internet network is a crucial need to support teaching and learning activities in educational environments. SMAN 12 Pekanbaru, as one of the schools implementing technology-based learning, is experiencing issues related to uneven Bandwidth distribution, especially during peak usage hours. This often disrupts access to…
ABSTRACT Academic communication between students and lecturers in the Informatics Engineering Study Program at Universitas Riau currently relies on general platforms such as WhatsApp and email. This leads to issues such as the mixing of academic and personal messages, as well as difficulties in documentation and searching for discussion topics. This study aims to design and develop a web-based…
ABSTRACT The academic guidance process in the Informatics Engineering Study Program at Universitas Riau is still carried out informally through platforms such as WhatsApp, resulting in a lack of documentation, slow communication, and minimal supervision from the head of the program. This study aims to develop a web-based academic guidance reservation system to make the guidance process more or…
ABSTRACT The environmental pollution that is the center of attention is industrial waste. Adsorption has been shown to be a more effective method for absorbing heavy metals from wastewater. The adsorbent commonly used in adsorption is activated charcoal. Yellow bamboo is a material that can produce charcoal by carbonization. The aim of this research is to make adsorbents from bamboo, to ch…
ABSTRACT Chip quality is very important as it affects the next stages of production. Chip quality includes parameters such as accept, reject, overthick, pin fraction, fines, and chip length. This study analyzed the effect of different wood species on chip quality, specifically Acacia mangium, Acacia crassicarpa, and Eucalyptus. This study was conducted by analyzing secondary data in 8 days at …
ABSTRACT A winder machine is a machine that functions to roll a jumbo roll and cut the roll where the rolls will later be adjusted to customer demand. During the winding process, problems are often found in the form of defects or defects in sheeter roll products, which can affect the physical quality, aesthetics, and performance of the product when used by end customers. These defects can appe…
ABSTRACT Delco Citra Arengka Housing in Pekanbaru is one of the areas affected by waterlogging during high-intensity rainfall, indicating that the existing drainage system is not functioning optimally. This study aims to redesign the drainage system by comparing two approaches: the empirical method and simulation using EPA SWMM software. The empirical method was used to calculate the design di…
ABSTRACT This study aims to develop an empirical equation to predict the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) based on the results of the TVA Penetrometer (Hand Cone Penetrometer) test on soft soils, particularly in coastal areas. Soil samples were prepared by mixing bentonite clay, kaolin, and sand, then compacted and tested in the laboratory to obtain CBR values and QcTVA readings. Stepwise re…
ABSTRACT In geotechnical engineering, professional actions and expert judgment are often essential in soil investigation methods. In coastal areas, expansive soils with sandy sedimentation lead to reduced bearing capacity and challenges in field instrumentation. This study models a clayey sand (SC) mixture using Bentonite and Kaolin as fine fractions, which exhibit expansive behavior and p…
ABSTRACT PCI and PCU type girders have similarities in the economic span range, which is 25–40 meters, as stated in the Practical Guidelines for Bridge Technical Planning (2021). This study aims to compare the use of PCI and PCU girders on the Siak Bridge sta. 195+500 Trans Sumatra Toll Road Rengat-Pekanbaru section Lingkar Pekanbaru. The comparison is made based on the parameters of pre…
ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the population projection and the amount of clean water needs in Tenayan Raya District for 2025-2040, using a method in the form of data analysis. The methods used in calculating the population are arithmetic, geometric, and exponential methods to project the population, as well as standard deviation analysis to determine the most appropriate method. The r…
ABSTRACT In the construction of the Trans-Sumatra Toll Road, Rengat–Pekanbaru Section, specifically at the Pekanbaru Ring Road segment Sta. 193, two identical bridges are planned to employ prestressed concrete box girder structures. The construction of these bridges adopts the balanced cantilever method. Implementation of the balanced cantilever technique requires optimization through cr…
ABSTRACT The curve at Km 50 of the Pekanbaru-Bangkinang Highway is classified as a sharp and closely spaced compound curve and is identified as an accident-prone area, marked by accident-prone zone signs on one direction of the curve. Based on traffic accident data from 2019-2024, five accidents have occurred at this location. Noncompliance of the geometric design with current standards is…

ABSTRACT Concentrically Braced Frame (CBF) is one of the commonly used seismic-resisting systems because it can effectively resist lateral forces. However, this system has a weakness, which is the risk of buckling under compressive forces that can reduce the structural capacity. Buckling Restrained Braced Frame (BRBF) is a development of CBF with restrainers that prevent buckling. This fin…
ABSTRACT The use of environmentally friendly materials in construction is an important consideration in efforts to reduce waste, particularly plastic waste that is difficult to decompose. This study aims to investigate the effect of using LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) plastic waste on the characteristics of paving blocks, particularly in terms of compressive strength and water absorption…
