One of the black liquor technology processing is gasification that can produce fuel gas medium type. The purpose of this research was study the factors and parameters that influence the process of black liquor gasification by simulating gasification process in entrained flow …
Oil palm frond contain 40,96% of cellulose. Cellulose is the main raw material synthesis of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC). The purpose of this research was to determine the optimum conditions of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) synthesis from oil palm frond by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The synthesis of CMC consist of two steps, alkalyzation and etherification. In this research, t…
Motor operating temperature at wells equipped with Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) need to be monitored to maintain ESP performance run life. Not all producer wells equipped with temperature sensor, so it considered necessary to build mathematic model to estimate motor operating temperature. Model of heat transfer to predict motor operating temperature is developed based on empirical equation m…

The ocjectives of this research were to synthesis of biodiesel from Callophyllum inophyllum oil using 3%lanthanum/clay, clay and lanthanum oxide catalyst, a…
This study aimed to utilize Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) and preheated Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) as a source for enhanced biogas production in Expanded Granular Sludge Bed (EGSB) Reactor. The reactor was operated continuously for 48 days with 2 days Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT), POME : EFB mixing ratios of 1 : 0 ; 0.10 ; 0.15 ; 0.20 ; operating temperature of 35 ± 20C and 55 ± 20C. The bes…
Palm frond can be converted to solid fuel using torrefaction process as an alternative energy source. Torrefaction is the process to convert the biomass into solid fuel at a temperature range of 200-300oC in inert condition. Calorific value is the most important response in solid fuel. The aim of this research is to obtain the optimum condition of palm fronds torrefaction statistically was used…
Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles becomes a new innovation that gets attention of biomedical scientists. Magnetite can be applied to cancer treatment as a drug carrier because of its good biocompatibility and very low toxicity. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of time and temperature synthesis of magnetite characteristics and determine its crystal growth kinetics model usi…
