Imports of caprolactam are relatively large, namely around 30,000 to 35,000 tons per year. Caprolactam is produced through the Toyo Rayon Photonitrosation process. The photonitrosation process is aimed at changing the form of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone oxime through an oximation reaction with nitrosyl chloride which then goes through Beckmann preparation with trifluoroacetic acid to obtain th…
In Indonesia, polyvinyl alcohol is not yet produced domestically, so it still requires imports from other countries for domestic needs. The development of industries that use polyvinyl alcohol has led to an increase in domestic demand for polyvinyl alcohol from year to year. Polyvinyl alcohol is produced through the Alcoholysis process. Overall, the alcoholysis process is purposed at the reacti…
The Sodium Hydroxide plant, known as PT. CASORAN, is designed with a capacity of 45,000 tons per year using the main equipment design of the Precipitation Reactor (R-101). Sodium Hydroxide or NaOH has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry as a raw material in organic chemical industries, inorganic chemical industries, pulp & paper, textiles, and other industries. The process con…
The rate of population growth, which in turn increases various needs, can increase the amount of waste/residue or residue, both from the consumption process and the results of activities carried out, namely in the form of waste. The quantity and composition of household hazardous and toxic waste (B3) in Binawidya and Tuah Madani Sub-districts have never been studied and there is no management m…
Tofu dregs waste has not been utilized optimally, causing pollution in the form of odor if not immediately utilized. This can pollute the environment so that tofu dregs waste can be processed using BSF larvae with the addition of goat manure to get the final product of optimal compost quality. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of variations in the composition of tofu dregs was…
Groundwater is the most widely used water source to fulfill sanitation needs. However, groundwater often contains heavy metals such as Fe and Mn which can cause corrosion, odor, color, taste and health problems to users. One of the effective water treatment methods in heavy metal removal is coagulation and flocculation. This study aims to compare the ability between alum and poly aluminum chlor…
Particulates, NO2, and SO2 from Multifuel Boiler (MB) 21, 23/24, and 25/26 of PT Indah Kiat Pulp &; Paper Tbk have the potential to affect the health of the surrounding community, so this research is important. This study aims to determine the distribution pattern of pollutants emitted by sources based on measurement time, compare ambient air concentrations in the dry and rainy seasons, and com…
The Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) is known to be able to effectively decompose various types of organic waste and convert it into compost. However, the high crude fiber content in waste will affect the effectiveness of BSF larvae to reduce the waste. The purpose of this study was to analyse the degradation efficiency of sago hampas and goat manure and the quality of decomposition residue comp…
Sago bark and sago pulp are biomass waste from the sago processing process that has not been optimally utilized. The high calorific value of sago bark and pulp, which is 4666.5 cal/gr and 4000 cal/gr, has the potential to be used as briquette fuel. This study aims to analyze the physical and combustion characteristics of briquettes mixed with sago bark and pulp, the concentration of PM2.5 from …
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is characterized by very high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solid (TSS) of 33,600 and 12,667 mg/l respectively, which require treatment to remove these parameters. Treatment with biological reactors such as two-stages UASB can be used, but after passing through the biological reactor process, POME still contain high COD and TSS concentration of 9…
Peat water has special characteristics, namely a low pH between 3-5, red-brown in color and contains a lot of organic substances so it does not meet the requirements to meet clean water standards, so it needs to be processed so that it can be used for daily needs. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of the flocculation coagulation process with PAC coagulant on the settling proces…
Microplastics are plastic particles with a size of 1 μm – 5 mm that are widely present in surface water and sediments. Increased exposure of microplastics in water can affect food chain cycles, leading to bioaccumulation and biomagnification in fish. This study aims to analyze the abundance, types, and polymer types of microplastics in surface water and fish in the Air Hitam River, Pekanbaru…
Microplastics defined as solid synthetic polymers that have a microscopic size, which is between 0,001-5 mm. Microplastics are one of the most alarming pollutants today, because through the process of biomagnification microplastics can lead to the accumulation of toxic substances in aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze microplastics abundance, types, and polymer compositions in water …
Palm Empty Bunches (EFB) is a biomass that is rich in carbon elements, making EFB has the potential as activated carbon. Activated carbon has many uses as an adsorbent because it has high absorption power due to the pores in the activated carbon material. The process of making activated carbon consists of three stages, the dehydration stage, carbonization, and activation process. This research …
Peat water has a brown to dark black color, this is due to the organic plant material turning into peat and the high content of dissolved organic substances (humus materiasl) in the form of humic acid and its derivatives. One method used to reduce organic substances and the color of peat water is to use the flocculation coagulation process. Coagulation and flocculation can be used to reduce tur…
Leachate contains high organic pollutants, ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, and phosphorus that can interfere with human health, pollute the environment and surrounding aquatic biota if disposed without treatment.
