ABSTRACT Methanol is classified as a basic chemical widely used to produce various derivative products such as acetic acid, formaldehyde, Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), gasoline, chloromethanes, methylamines, polyvinyl, polyester, rubber, synthetic resins, pharmaceuticals, and Dimethyl Ether (DME). Domestic production has not yet met the national demand for methanol. Therefore, the establ…
ABSTRACT Electric power is a primary necessity for modern society that must be delivered reliably. One of the common issues in distribution systems is voltage drop, which refers to the reduction of voltage from the source to the load due to line impedance. This study aims to analyze the magnitude of the voltage drop on the Libra feeder at the Perawang Substation of PT PLN (Persero) Pekanbaru. …
ABSTRACT Rice husk is an abundant agricultural waste containing lignocellulosic compounds and silica, which have the potential to be used as a base material for adsorbents. This study aims to examine the effect of varying heating temperature and time on the physicochemical characteristics and adsorption capacity of rice husk as an adsorbent. Rice husk was heated at temperatures of 100°C, 125�…
ABSTRACT The contamination of lead (Pb) heavy metal in industrial waste is one of the serious environmental problems that threaten both the environment and human health. Industrial wastewater containing lead ions (Pb²⁺) can accumulate in the food chain, posing a danger to human health. One effective and environmentally friendly solution is the adsorption method using biomass as an adsorbent…

ABSTRACT Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of Indonesia’s leading commodities that plays an important role in the national economy. However, irrigation and fertilization activities that are carried out manually often do not meet the actual needs of the plants. This study developed an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring system for oil palm irrigation and fertilization using an E…
ABSTRACT The fluctuating rainfall pattern in Pekanbaru poses a challenge in determining the optimal planting time for red chili cultivation. Reliance on traditional planting calendars often increases the risk of crop failure since it does not account for climate variability. This study develops a daily rainfall prediction model using the CNN–BiLSTM architecture with BMKG weather data from Ja…
ABSTRACT Tracer studies at the program level often suffer from manual collection, delayed updates, and limited, non-standardized reporting hindering accreditation and curriculum review. This study designs and develops a program-level, web-based tracer study system for the Informatics Engineering Program at Universitas Riau using Laravel 11 and MySQL, with DataTables for interactive data views …
ABSTRACT Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) is an organic chemical compound in the form of a clear liquid (molecular formula C₆H₅CₙH₂ₙ₊₁, n=C9-C14) which acts as the main raw material in the production of detergents and cleaning products. This compound has the advantages of high biodegradability and better cleaning effectiveness than other surfactants, as well as characteristics that are …
ABSTRACT This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the School Safety Zone (ZoSS) in improving pedestrian safety at SDN 17 & 182 Pekanbaru and SDN 011 Desa Baru, Kampar Regency. The evaluation was carried out by analyzing vehicle speed, student escorts’ behavior, and pedestrian behavior. The methods used include field surveys, ZoSS facility inventory, and statistical analysis using the…
ABSTRACT Infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures are generally classified as non-structural elements and therefore are often disregarded in structural design. However, their presence significantly contributes to the overall strength and stiffness of the structure. This study aims to compare the seismic performance of RC frame structures with and without infill walls in ac…
ABSTRACT Masonry walls in buildings are generally classified as non-structural elements and are therefore not accounted for in the structural design. In buildings with soft-story characteristics, neglecting the effect of masonry infill walls needs to be studied further, since soft-story behavior can increase the vulnerability of the structure during an earthquake. A soft story occurs when …
ABSTRACT Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key indicator for evaluating machine effectiveness in the manufacturing industry, including the sheeter (paper-cutting) machine at PT. Riau Pulp and Paper (PT. RAPP). The sheeter machine functions to cut large paper rolls into sheets according to production requirements, with a focus on precision and efficiency. OEE consists of three main com…
ABSTRACT Javanese culture has a complex family genealogy system, covering up to 18 levels of ancestors and descendants, as well as various horizontal terms such as siblings, uncles, and cousins. This complexity often makes it difficult for younger generations to understand their kinship relationships. This study implements a Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm combined with a Rules Engine to au…
ABSTRACT The livestock sales process at Sumber Makmur Farm was previously carried out manually, which caused difficulties in promotion, transactions, and data management. This research aims to design and develop a web-based livestock sales application using the prototype method to simplify the sales process and improve data management efficiency. The application provides detailed livestock inf…
ABSTRACT Generator sets (gensets) are one of the main sources for generating electrical energy, especially in areas not yet covered by the main electricity grid. Optimal generator set performance depends heavily on the stability and balance of its components. This research aims to design and manufacture generator set supporting components that can improve operational stability, energy efficien…
ABSTRACT Three-phase induction motors are widely used in industrial applications due to their reliability, operational efficiency, and simple construction. However, these motors are vulnerable to various faults, especially in the stator winding, which can potentially cause severe damage if not supported by an effective protection system. This study analyzes the power supply protection system …
ABSTRACT The reliability of a power generation system is largely determined by the system's ability to cope with unexpected disturbances. In this context, contingency analysis is crucial for evaluating the impact of disturbances on overall system performance. This study aims to conduct a contingency analysis on the Tenayan coal-fired power plant, focusing on three main components: the boiler, …
ABSTRACT The rapid development of industry has contributed greatly to economic growth, but has also had a negative impact on the environment, especially in the form of water pollution due to industrial wastewater. One of the common pollutants is methylene blue dye, which is widely used in the textile industry. This substance is toxic, difficult to degrade, and can cause disruption to aquatic e…
