Paper characteristics play an important role in the quality of the paper produced. Some factors that affect paper quality are tensile strength, tearing strength, bursting strength, and internal bonding. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of morphology and fiber length on the strength of the paper produced. This research uses a variety of fiber lengths, which is 0,5; 0,3; 0,1; a…
Water demineralization is the process of removing minerals in water through an ion exchange process using cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin media so that it can produce water that has a high level of purity. Ion exchange resin is a polymerized hydrocarbon compound. This compound has cross-links or by another name it is called cross-linking, has functional groups and has ions that c…
The activated carbon filter process can remove organic compounds, odors, dyes, turbidity, and chlorine from water using porous carbon to absorb these substances. Saturated mass occurs when activated carbon has reached the absorption limit, which is determined by the throughput target by measuring the amount of water that has been treated, i.e. how much water has passed through the activated car…
Polymer is a macromolecule formed from a number of small molecules that are bonded together. The small molecules that form these polymers are referred to as monomers, while the reaction that occurs is called a polymerization reaction. PT RAPP uses polymers as an ingredient in the waste treatment process that can create flocs in the waste. The use of flocculants with polymers can be an effective…
The steam power plant system is a system of generating electrical energy from converting steam energy produced by water heated in the boiler to produce steam. Then the steam goes to the turbine so that it rotates the turbine rotor and rotor on the generator to produce electrical energy. The definition of turbine efficiency is the ability of the turbine to convert the heat energy contained in th…
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is equipment designed to protect the worker's body and reduce the severity of work accidents. Awareness with the use of PPE affects the level of work accidents, the lower the level of awareness with the use of PPE, the greater the impact of work accidents and knowledge is one of the factors that influence worker awareness. This study aims to determine the des…
Extractive substances are non-polymeric organic materials that can be separated by dissolving in neutral solvents such as ether, alcohol benzene, acetone, water or water vapor through the extraction process. However, in the extraction process there is still extractive substance content that is still insoluble by solvents, thus it is necessary to determine the level of extractive substance value…
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a chemical used as a bleaching agent in the pulp bleaching process. At the integrated ClO2 plant PT. RAPP, ClO2 solution with a concentration of 9.9-10 ± 0.2 g/L is obtained through the process of absorbing ClO2 gas using Chilled Water in the absorber. This research aims to determine the effect of temperature, chilled water flow, water dilution flow on the absorption…
Enhanced Chloride Removal Plant (ECRP) is a two-stage crystallization process. The first stage consists of a conventional Chloride Removal Plnat (CRP) system that operates close to atmospheric pressure. Sodium salt is crystallized in the first stage and returns to the recovery cycle. The second stage of crystallization operates at a lower temperature to take advantage of the reduced solubility …
The turbine start up process consists of three conditions, namely hot start, warm start, and cold start. Each start up condition has a different time. When the turbine is running normally again, calculations and monitoring of turbine efficiency will be carried out to control turbine performance. The idea described in this final project “Comparative Analysis of Start up and Efficiency of turbi…
A steam turbine is a piece of equipment that serves to convert the energy contained in steam (enthalpy) into mechanical energy in the form of a rotating moment on the turbine shaft. This type of back pressure turbine has heavy performance, because certain blades are extracted into MP steam and LP steam. This turbine needs 2 kg of steam to produce 1 MW. Turbine efficiency is the ability of the t…
An uncomfortable body position is one of the ergonomic risks that arise in workers. This can be found in the mechanic team activities.
