ABSTRACT Carbon in peat soil persists in the form of organic matter, which, when peat forests are cleared, can easily decompose and emit CO2 as a result of soil respiration. Carbon sequestration is an effort to store carbon in the soil using organic solids such as biochar. One biomass that can be utilized to produce biochar is sugarcane bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse contains lignocellulosic conte…
ABSTRACT Peat water in Riau Province has the potential to meet the water demand in the region in terms of quantity. However, in terms of quality, it does not meet the criteria for clean water and requires treatment. The aim of this research is to analyze the characteristics, adsorption efficiency of organic matter and color in peat water, and calculate the adsorption capacity and equilibrium m…

This chemical has a melting point above 127°C at a pressure of 1 atm. Process of HDPE production is the CX-Mitsui process with Ziegler-Natta catalyst, which operates at 0.2-0.7 MPa and temperature at range …
ABSTRACT Technological developments play an important role in supporting medical equipment facilities, especially in the compression action (CPR) apparatus. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a first aid measure for victims of cardiac arrest where compression is given for 4 cycles, each cycle consisting of 30 compressions. CPR that is given manually can endanger the victim due to certa…
ABSTRACT Gas stoves are a type of stove commonly used by the Indonesian community for cooking. However, using gas stoves is associated with risks, such as explosions or fires, if not used cautiously. To address these issues, this thesis designs a system that can monitor and control gas stoves based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The design utilizes several sensors: the MQ-2 sensor as a gas l…
ABSTRACT Clean water is one of the most vital needs for all humans or living things. Because all residents' activities have various aspects of life wherever they need clean water. Referring to the Pariaman City Spatial Plan (RTRW) for 2022-2042, it is necessary to project the need for clean water for the residents of Pariaman city. Domestic clean water needs are water needed for households. Wh…
ABSTRACT Rainfall measurements at each observation station are point rainfall data, which are considered representative of rainfall for a certain radius. Due to high establishment and operational costs and difficult topography for mountainous areas, the number of rain observation stations is limited. Overcoming the lack of rain stations to provide reliable rainfall data can be achieved by usin…
ABSTRACT Piping systems are an important part of many applications. Piping systems may be subject to damage such as blockages. Therefore, it is important to detect blockages in pipes. One way is by using ultrasonic imaging technique. In this research, a set up and test method for detecting and imaging blockages in pipes, and identifying the shape and position of the blockage using ultrasonic s…
ABSTRACT Wind turbines are windmills that are used to generate electricity. The basic principle works, namely converting the mechanical energy from the wind into rotational energy, then the rotation of the mill is used to rotate the generator, which in turn will generate electricity. Over time, many turbine innovations have been used. Innovation can be done by fixing existing deficiencies or ad…
ABSTRACT In the manufacture of latex finished goods, the water content that is too high in the latex greatly disrupts the vulcanization process. Therefore, some of the water first needs to be removed to obtain concentrated latex with a dry rubber content (KKK) of 55% -60%. Meanwhile, in the centrifugation method, the equipment investment costs are very expensive. Besides the high price, the ca…
ABSTRACT Tribology is the science that deals with friction, wear and lubrication on surfaces in the relative motion of objects. In machining mechanical contact is unavoidable regarding friction and wear. Mechanical contact that occurs will result in wear and tear between the two surfaces of the elements that touch and move. Friction is the loss of energy due to the occurrence of two objects th…
