ABSTRACT Kerosene has recently been scarce and the price is relatively expensive, therefore this study aims to find alternative fuels to replace kerosene for stoves with stoves, namely fuel from a mixture of used cooking oil and spiritus. In order to get the best performance of the burner stove that is fueled by a mixture of used cooking oil and spirit, the variation of the ratio of the used co…
Fly ash is a material produced from the coal combustion process in power generators, so all of its properties are also determined by the composition and properties of impurity minerals in coal and the combustion process. Zeolites are minerals consisting of hydrated aluminosilicate crystals containing alkaline cations in a three-dimensional framework. Zeolite has properties as an adsorbent …
All waste in Pekanbaru City ends up in Muara Fajar Lanfills. SIPSN data for 2021 shows that only 1.13% of incoming waste is processed at Muara Fajar Lanfillsthe rest ends up in open dumping system.MRF planning is expected to be a solution for solving waste management problems in Pekanbaru City, especially in Binawidya District and Tuah Madani District.Population growth in Binawidya and Tuah Mad…
Increasing the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere is a serious environmental problem because it causes global warming. To minimize the impact of climate change, efforts are needed to stabilize the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. One of the efforts to reduce CO2 gas is the presence of trees or plants that absorb carbon. Oil palm is an annual plant that has a long life cycle, durin…
The Tenayan Raya PLTU is located in Sail Village, Tenayan District, Pekanbaru City. The company is engaged in the field of coal-fired power plants with 189 employees. The mechanical process of coal processing at PLTU Tenayan Raya by using machines and work tools accompanied by loud sounds continuously will increase sound exposure to workers and increase the risk of danger to workers. The purpos…
Waste lubricant oil is an alternative fuel that has the potential to save the use of fuel oil (BBM) and minimize environmental impacts. The mixture of used oil and Dexlite fuel has been used in modified diesel engines at the Production Technology Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Riau University. The best results were obtained in a mixture of P25 with a loading power of 2,00…
In the current era of the energy crisis, methanol can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels, because methanol is globally easy to produce with clean, sustainable work processes and can be made from abundant resources. Methanol is often referred to as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol or spirit which includes chemical compounds with the chemical formula CH3OH. Methanol is a light, colorless, volat…
Palm oil is one of the leading commodities that make an important contribution to Indonesia's economic development, especially in the development of agro-industry. Methyl sulfonate ester (EMS) is an anionic surfactant that functions as an active ingredient to reduce the surface tension of a solution. The methyl sulfonate ester production process generally consists of a sulfonation step, a bleac…
Calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) or gypsum is one of the most useful processed materials. Applications of calcium sulfate dihydrate are as a building material, a chalk-making material, an additive in the manufacture of portland cement, and as an additive in certain foods such as tofu and some medicines and pharmaceuticals. The process of forming calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) by react…
Isobutylene is an intermediate product that has an important role in various chemical industries. Considering the increasing demand for isobutylene while the isobutylene producers themselves, especially in Indonesia, are still limited, it can be concluded that the market for isobutylene factories is still very open, both domestic and foreign markets. In Indonesia, the product, namely isobut…
Coffee grounds are used as raw material for making biodiesel because the oil content in the seeds is quite high, around 15-25%. Coffee grounds oil was obtained by maceration extraction using n-hexane. As much as 286ml of oil was obtained from the results of the separation with the rotary evaporator. In this study, esterification process was carried out to reduce the water content and high free …
Banana cobs and jackfruit seeds have a high enough starch content that has the potential to be used as raw material for bioethanol production. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the combination of a mixture of banana weevil and jackfruit seeds on the glucose concentration resulting from the hydrolysis process and to determine the effect of the mass of the yeast Saccharomyc…
