ABSTRACT Untreated liquid waste from tofu production, if directly disposed of without any treatment, will cause pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the waste before it is discharged into the environment. The process used in the treatment of liquid tofu waste is biological treatment, utilizing the symbiosis of microalgae and bacteria to reduce pollutant parameters. This is achieved t…
ABSTRACT Peat water has special characteristics, namely brownish color, high organic matter, low pH between 2-5, so it needs to be processed so that it can be used for daily needs. Treatment that can be used is coagulation-flocculation. The coagulants used in this study were cowpea and PAC. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of using cowpea for removal of organic mat…
ABSTRACT Research on river water treatment has been carried out using the coagulation-flocculation method by using of natural coagulants. Soybeans can be used as natural coagulants because they contain protein, and the results obtained will be compared with PAC coagulants. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of using soybeans for turbidity and TDS removal in river water, …
ABSTRACT Oil consumption has increased every year in line with the increase in motorized vehicles. This resulted in the amount of used oil produced also increased. Used oil is included in the waste of Hazardous and Toxic Materials which have a bad impact on the environment. One of the technologies that can be utilized in processing used oil is refining because used oil contains base oil so…
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that is found in many aquatic environments and has a high level of toxicity. The adsorption method can be used as an alternative in removing the metal. One of the adsorbents that can be used to remove Cd metal is magnetic biochar made from palm fronds. Palm fronds have the potential to be used as a base material for magnetic biochar because they contain c…
ABSTRACT Microplastics are generally defined as synthetic polymers that are under 5 mm in size. Microplastics that accumulate in water will have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the abundance and types of microplastics in water and digestive organs in the Tangkerang River, Pekanbaru. The Tangkerang River is a tributary that will empty into the Sail and Siak R…
ABSTRACT Environmental regulatory agencys use dispersion modeling to integrate scientific understanding of pollutant emissions with regulatory requirements of environmental and health standards. AERMOD is one of the most advanced multiple source models presently being developed by the US-EPA and the AMS (American Meteorology Society). The AERMOD modeling validation findings indicate a strong c…
ABSTRACT Used oil is a material that is widely used by motorized vehicles, so that lubricating oil or oil becomes waste generated from motorized vehicles. The use of used oil waste is an environmentally friendly and renewable alternative fuel. Utilization of used lubricating oil will overcome the problem of waste from used lubricating oil which cannot be reprocessed and simply thrown away, and…
ABSTRACT Used oil waste has become one of the environmental issues that needs to be swiftly and accurately addressed. Used oil contains considerable energy and still holds potential as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. One of the methods for processing used oil involves the acid and clay technique. This study focuses on purification using the acid and clay method, with variations in zeol…
ABSTRACT The growth of the population leads to an increase in population mobility and the number of vehicles. The rise in motorized transportation results in an increasing demand for motor vehicle lubricating oil. The increased need for oil is directly proportional to the waste produced, namely used oil. One of the technologies that can be utilized in processing used oil is purification, as it…
ABSTRACT Microplastics are generally defined as synthetic polymers that are under 5 mm in size. Microplastics that accumulate in water will have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the abundance and types of microplastics in water and digestive organs in the Sail River, Pekanbaru. The Sail River is a tributary that will empty into the Siak River. High activity a…
ABSTRACT The growth of the population in Pekanbaru city each year has led to an increase in the number of motor vehicles, resulting in a rise in noise intensity. The aim of this research is to measure and map the noise level during peak hours at the intersection of Kaharuddin Nasution Street and Soekarno Hatta Street in Pekanbaru city, analyze the relationship between the number of vehicles an…
ABSTRACT Selat Guntung is a village located on the outskirts of the Siak river with a rainfed agricultural system, where the main source of agricultural water comes from rainfall and depends on rainfall so that during the dry season agricultural rice fields experience a shortage of water which affects crop production. The irrigation of the Selat Guntung is affected by fluctuations in the water…
ABSTRACT Freeze vacuum drying is one of the most effective drying methods compared to other drying methods, such as sun drying, solar drying and others. where in vacuum freeze drying it can maintain the quality of the product you want to dry, besides that this method is also very effective for drying products that are easily destroyed when exposed to high temperatures. Where the working princi…
ABSTRACT Solar Pond is a type of solar collector with the ability to store heat energy for a long time and lower construction costs compared to other types of solar collectors. Solar pond functions as a collector and storage of solar thermal energy. Solar pond technology requires development so that it can be applied to power generation. One of them is by using a thermoelectric generator. Ther…
ABSTRACT Photovoltaic (PV) is a technology that can convert sunlight into electricity, while photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) is a technology that can convert sunlight into electricity and heat.
