ABSTRACT Lightfastness is the level of the paper's ability to maintain the accuracy of color strength, brightness and whiteness from time to time because it can cause fading due to exposure to light. The purpose of this final project is to determine how the rate of change of lightness, brightness, and fluorescence values in paper samples tested for 90 days under the light exposure in the p…
ABSTRACT One of the uses of white liquor in the Chemical Plant department is to assist in the scrubbing process of the tail gas scrubber at the ERCO Plant. The scrubbing process that is carried out is to remove the remaining excess ClO2 gas. So far, the remaining ClO2 gas from the ERCO Plant that cannot be absorbed by the chilled water in the absorber will be scrubbed by a vent scrubber wi…
ABSTRACT Oxygen delignification is a continuation of the Kraft-type cooking process which aims to degrade some of the lignin residuals in unbleached pulp by using oxygen and alkaline (NaOH and white liquor oxidation). The efficient oxygen delignification process can reduce the consumption of bleaching chemicals, especially ClO2. One of the parameters that determine the efficiency of the ox…
ABSTRACT Paper making has the main quality control parameter, namely tensile strength and freeness. If a paper has a low tensile strength and freeness value, the resulting paper is of low quality or easily torn during the paper making process. While the manufacture of rayon does not require a high tensile strength value but high purity alpha cellulose and low hemicellulose content. This re…
ABSTRACT Dissolving pulp is pulp that is used as raw material for rayon with certain characteristics such as having high purity such as high cellulose content (>94%), and low content of hemicellulose, lignin, and extractives. According to Alaudin (1982), the manufacture of rayon pulp with the sulfate process alone cannot produce pure pulp as desired, because some hemicellulose becomes resi…
ABSTRACT Print quality is affected by the quality of the paper used. To get the desired paper quality, it is necessary to modify the fibers mechanically in the refining process which is the heart in the paper-making process. In addition to refining, the use of filler ratios will also affect the quality of the paper according to the desired paper grade. Fillers are natural minerals added to…
ABSTRACT The bleaching process is the final stage of bleached kraft pulp process using bleaching chemicals in the form of ClO2, NaOH, O2, and H2O2. The pulp bleaching system used by PT.RAPP is the Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) system that is chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Bleaching sequence in Fiberline 1 consists of three stages, that is D0, EOP, and D1. The success of the bleaching process can…
ABSTRACT Thickness is the perpendicular (thickness) between two paper surfaces by measuring using a thickness measuring instrument, namely AutoLine 400 or L&W Micrometer. In this final project, the author observed and analyzed the factors that influenced the thickness of the MR080800 copier paper. Observations were made using secondary data contained in PMIS (Project Management Information…
ABSTRACT The Demin Plant produces pure mineral-free water which is used as boiler feed water. One of the units in the Demin Plant is strong acid cation (SAC) to remove cation ions using Dowex HCR-S cation resin. At certain times, this resin will be saturated so that it needs to be regenerated. The effective regeneration of the resin is an important aspect to ensure optimal performance of t…
ABSTRACT The quality of chips produced with the size of the pulp mill specification is called accept chip. The uniformity of chips length produced by a disc chipper is keys to increase pulping performance. A chipper which produced fewer pin chips and fine chips, while achieving a more consistent length to thickness ratio, would significantly improve pulping uniformity and pulp consistency.…
ABSTRACT One of the divisions in Riau Prima Energi is a water treatment plant which aims to process Kampar river water into clean water for the mill operation and townsite. The processing of raw water is a coagulation-flocculation process and uses a poly aluminum chloride (PAC) coagulant and polymer flocculant. In the coagulation-flocculation process, the impurities contained in the raw wa…
ABSTRACT The stringent competition in industry may demand all this producer always giving the best contribution in quality which best with no defect. This research aims to evaluate defect of In House Packaging. Using the Lean Six Sigma method analysis DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control). In define resulting 7 Critical to Quality (CTQ) could not be accepted in product. In …
ABSTRACT The consumer's need for electrical power varies from time to time which causes the mechanical load borne by the turbine to vary. This change in mechanical load causes a direct change to the work performed by the turbine shaft. Each turbine has a different efficiency value, depending on operational conditions. One of the operational conditions that influence is the steam pressure a…
ABSTRACT Currently the pulp and paper industry is experiencing rapid development. On the other side, raw materials are increasingly difficult to obtain. Therefore, the use of raw materials must be regulated as optimally as possible. The production process is regulated as efficiently as possible in order to reduce company expenses. The observations made this time discuss the effect of surface s…
ABSTRACT Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) is a material obtained by introducing air bubbles into the CLC mixture, which the air grains are able to maintain the bubble structure in the curing processs. CLC can reduce construction costs and make it easier to work on. This research, aims to make CLC with addition graphene as an additive to determine the effect of adding graphene on compres…
ABSTRACT Ethylene oxide (C2H4O) which is also known as oxirane is an organic compound of the ether group. Ethylene oxide is a colorless gas, has a sweet smell, is flammable at room temperature and is a highly reactive compound. The main raw materials used in the manufacture of ethylene oxide by the Dow Meteor process are ethylene and oxygen. This plant is planned to operate for 330 days/ye…
ABSTRACT Bioethanol is one of the alternative energy substitutes for petroleum. the wasted of sago can be used for bioethanol production. The main component of sago is used for the production of bioethanol is lignocellulose which consist of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Ethanol is made by hydrolisiys and fermentation with the help of an acid catalyst and saccharomyces cerevisiae. Th…
The study is the development of an e-module as an effort to reduce the students' misconceptions on ion equilibrium and pH of salt solution for 11th grade of SMA/MA. This study is motivated by the teacher saying that the ion equilibrium and pH of the salt solution was one of the materials that were difficult for students to understand and often misconceptions occurred. The teacher used fewer med…
ABSTRACT Fillers are natural minerals that are added to cellulose fibers to enhance the properties of paper. Fillers will fill the empty cavities between the fibers so that fillers can have a positive or negative impact on the sheet. In this final project, an analysis conducted on the effect of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) & Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) ratio on offset paper char…
ABSTRACT A boiler or steam boiler is a device in the form of a closed vessel used to produce steam. Power Boilers use a variety of solid fuels ranging from Coal, Bark, Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), Sludge, and Brown Fiber. Fuel is a substance that when heated will undergo a chemical reaction with an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen in air) to release heat. Observations in this final project have…
