ABSTRAK Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important horticultural commodity that is widely used as a basic seasoning in various dishes. The high demand for onions requires increased efficiency in the peeling and slicing process. Onion peeling and slicing machines on the market today generally use a vertical system, but have limitations such as imperfect peeling results, risk of leakage during the p…
ABSTRACT Storage tanks are storage containers frequently used in various industries such as petrochemical, refining, petroleum, and others. The reliability of storage tanks is crucial because structural failures can result in serious consequences. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the operational feasibility of tanks with shell distortion defects in the form of arbitrary out of roundnes…
ABSTRACT Wax deposition in oil pipelines poses a significant challenge in industry, particularly in the oil and gas industry, as it can reduce production capacity and efficiency, resulting in financial losses. To mitigate these losses, methods are needed to detect and monitor wax deposits in pipelines. The method used in this study is an ultrasonic testing method to detect the thickness di…
ABSTRACT Pyrolysis is one of the effective methods for processing plastic waste, pyrolysis involves the decomposition of plastic components without oxygen, producing oil, wax, charcoal and flammable gas that can be used as alternative fuels. This research aims to determine the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the yield of pyrolysis oil from low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (…
ABSTRACT Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) in the culinary sector face challenges in production efficiency due to the limitations of the equipment they use. Many business owners still rely on manual methods or simple machines that are unhygienic, inefficient, and difficult to clean. To address these issues, this final project aims to modify a manual meat grinder into a motorized syst…

Therefore, innovation is needed in the development of energy-efficient vehicles that are efficient, environmentally friendly, and meet the regulations of the Energy Efficient Car Contest (KMHE) competition. This study aims to design and manufacture an energy-efficient…
ABSTRACT Co-pyrolysis offers a promising approach to reducing Indonesia’s dependence on fossil fuels, which has led to serious environmental problems such as greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. This study aims to evaluate the effects of temperature variation and blending ratios in the co-pyrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) on bio-oil …
ABSTRACT This study discusses the effect of biosolar fuel variations on the performance of diesel engines using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method with OpenFOAM software. The main objective of this study is to analyze how changes in fuel type affect the combustion process and engine performance, such as power, torque, and Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP). The engine used was…
ABSTRACT The use of biodiesel fuel blends is increasingly being developed as an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and reduce exhaust emissions. One potential blend is B40, which is a mixture of 40% biodiesel and 60% diesel fuel. This study aims to analyze the effect of fuel injection temperature variations on Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP), power, and torque in B40-fueled d…
ABSTRACT The availability of petroleum is currently decreasing due to increasing demand. Therefore, other alternatives are needed to reduce dependence on petroleum. One concrete step taken by the government is the implementation of the B40 biodiesel mixture. The use of B40 requires adjustments to conventional engines, especially diesel engines. This is due to differences in fuel combustion c…
ABSTRACT Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key indicator for evaluating machine effectiveness in the manufacturing industry, including the sheeter (paper-cutting) machine at PT. Riau Pulp and Paper (PT. RAPP). The sheeter machine functions to cut large paper rolls into sheets according to production requirements, with a focus on precision and efficiency. OEE consists of three main com…
ABSTRACT Generator sets (gensets) are one of the main sources for generating electrical energy, especially in areas not yet covered by the main electricity grid. Optimal generator set performance depends heavily on the stability and balance of its components. This research aims to design and manufacture generator set supporting components that can improve operational stability, energy efficien…
