Calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) or gypsum is one of the most useful processed materials. Applications of calcium sulfate dihydrate are as a building material, a chalk-making material, an additive in the manufacture of portland cement, and as an additive in certain foods such as tofu and some medicines and pharmaceuticals. The process of forming calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) by react…
Isobutylene is an intermediate product that has an important role in various chemical industries. Considering the increasing demand for isobutylene while the isobutylene producers themselves, especially in Indonesia, are still limited, it can be concluded that the market for isobutylene factories is still very open, both domestic and foreign markets. In Indonesia, the product, namely isobut…
Coffee grounds are used as raw material for making biodiesel because the oil content in the seeds is quite high, around 15-25%. Coffee grounds oil was obtained by maceration extraction using n-hexane. As much as 286ml of oil was obtained from the results of the separation with the rotary evaporator. In this study, esterification process was carried out to reduce the water content and high free …
Banana cobs and jackfruit seeds have a high enough starch content that has the potential to be used as raw material for bioethanol production. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the combination of a mixture of banana weevil and jackfruit seeds on the glucose concentration resulting from the hydrolysis process and to determine the effect of the mass of the yeast Saccharomyc…

Nusantara III Plantation, Sei. Mengkei, Medan, to be precise, in Bosar Maligas Sub-district, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra Province. The main raw materials used in the production of fatty amines …
Domestic diphenylamine needs continue to increase, recorded in 2019 according to the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (2019), which imported 71.463 tons of diphenylamine, which was the highest import compared to previous years. In Indonesia, there is no industry that produces diphenylamine, so there are still many imports from countries such as China, Japan, and America. To reduce the numbe…
Epichlorohydrin is a derivative compound of allyl chloride which has the molecular formula C3H5OCl. Epichlorohydrin is also used in the manufacture of elastomers, glycidyl ethers, cross-linked food starch, surfactants, plasticizers, dyes, pharmaceutical products, oil emulsifiers, lubricants, and adhesives. In Indonesia, the need for epichlorohydrin compounds is still very dependent on impor…
Acetic acid industry in Indonesia is one of the chemical industries that has good prospects. Acetic acid product has a fairly wide market, such as the Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) industry, the ethyl acetate industry and the textile industry. Acetic acid, as the main product, manufactured using Acetica process through carbonylation reaction of methanol, with heterogeneous Rhodium catalyst e…

Indonesia, which is located on the border of the three main plates of the earth, namely the Eurasian Plate, the Indo-Australian Plate, and the Pacific Plate, is one of the areas with a high level of earthquake vulnerability in the Asia Pacific area. Highrise buildings are one of the most vulnerable forms of construction and have a high risk of earthquakes, this is because earthquakes can mo…
In the registration process, booking schedules for consultation/treatment at the Riona Dental Care (RDC) dental clinic are still manual. This causes the admin to check the existing schedule one by one so that the patient queue does not overlap with other patients who have registered first. The patient registration is also not yet computerized, that is, it is still written on paper. The purpose …
The impact of the spread of Covid-19 on work and meetings that are usually held face-to-face are now held via video conference. This was also carried out at the Dayun Village BUMD Office. Of course, this new habit must be supported by good network quality as measured by QoS parameters consisting of throughput, delay, packet loss and jitter. Bandwidth management is needed so that the available b…
Research and community service is one of the main tasks of a lecturer contained in the tridharma of higher education that must be carried out. The problem is that there is currently no system and special people to manage research and service data at the two engineering universities of Riau. This system is designed to make it easier to search for research and service data in engineering architec…
Lightning protection system is an effort to protect an object caused by a lightning strike, where the protection system used is ground wire. This study aims to improve the lightning protection system on the louhan feeder by placing the ground wire in different positions and with different amounts of ground wire. From the results of the analysis obtained 68,32 flashover/100 km/year and 8,08 flas…
This study will develop a catenary method to determine the analysis of slope and tension in a 275 kV transmission line conductor. The catenary method is a function of the equation of the weight of the conductor, the maximum tensile stress in the conductor, the length of the span, and the maximum deflection of the conductor. Processing this method will be used to determine the value of slope and…
Nowadays, population growth is growing very rapidly following the economic growth. This also has an impact on the increasing demand for electricity. The continuous increase in electrical load can affect the quality of electric power obtained by consumers. The quality of this voltage is influenced by power losses and voltage drops. This study will try to overcome the problem using a new method, …
The development of microwave technology increases advances in biomedical fields such as virus detection.
