River water quality can change over time due to environmental influences. Siak River water experiences an increase in turbidity level after rain compared to before rain and the treated water is still turbid. The treated water from the IPAM is cloudy due to the inappropriate dose of coagulant given. The main treatment process to reduce turbidity is the coagulation and flocculation process. This …
Pre-design of a Butyraldehyde Plant with the Main Equipment Design of a Distillation Tower has a production capacity of 50,000 tons/year. The raw materials used in designing the butyraldehyde plant are Propylene and Syngas. The process used is the Hydroformylation or Oxo process. The raw material preparation process begins by changing the pressure and temperature of propylene and syngas to 18 b…

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…
