    This present work focused on the characterization of treated oil palm frond (OPF) from ozonolysis pretreatment. The ozonolysis pretreatment was performed in a conventional semi-batch reactor at ambient condition. The effectiveness of ozonolysis pretreatment was validated by investigating the degradation of lignin and composition of solid product from pretreatment (treated OPF). In addition, crystallinity, surface area, pore structure, and morphology of untreated and treated OPF, as well as functional groups present were examined accordingly to study the effect of ozonolysis pretreatment on physical properties of OPF. The ozonolysis pretreatment on OPF was found to degrade the lignin structure, and exerted only a slight effect on the hemicellulose structure. Meanwhile, the cellulose yield was increased. As comparison to the untreated OPF, the crystallinity index OPF was increased while the surface area, pore volume, and mean pore diameter for the treated was decreased. This observation explained that the ozonolysis reaction has degraded the C=C bond of acid insoluble lignin into acid soluble lignin. Thus, the lignin could be removed easily by washing with water. Removing the amorphous component would lead to higher crystallinity index. Meanwhile, the pore properties of treated OPF would collapse during washing and drying process. Results of the present study indicated ozonolysis pretreatment as an effective method for OPF pretreatment to produce a washed clean substrate rich in cellulose and xylan. In addition, the physical properties of OPF were improved and ready for subsequent downstream bioconversion process such as acid hydrolysis for glucose productio

    (2016-04-22) Ramli, Nur Aainaa Syahirah; Amin, Nor Aishah Saidina
    The depleting primary energy sources and increasing greenhouse gas emissions have driven initiatives to develop clean technologies for chemical transformations from renewable feedstocks. Currently, extensive studies are being carried out to investigate the conversion of renewable biomass into biofuels and other chemical feedstocks. In particular, levulinic acid (LA) derived from biomass has been recognized as a versatile building block for the production of various platform chemicals. Esterification of LA with alcohols produce levulinate esters which have extensive application either in the flavoring and fragrance industries or fuel additives. Till date, the catalyst employed in the reported literatures for LA esterification suffered from either poor catalytic activity or lack of reusability properties. Herein, the esterification of LA with ethanol for ethyl levulinate (EL) production was conducted using iron modified HY zeolite (Fe/HY) at reflux condition. The effect of reaction time (1 – 7 h) , Fe/HY loading (10 – 35% Fe/HY to LA), and molar ratio of LA to ethanol (1:4 – 1:24), on LA conversion and EL yield were investigated. The experimental results revealed the optimum LA conversion and EL yield were obtained from LA esterification conducted at reflux condition for 6 h, 10% Fe/HY loading, and 1:16 of LA to ethanol molar ratio. The reusability of Fe/HY for EL production was also examined. In addition, Fe/HY catalyst was employed in the esterification of LA with methanol and butanol for methyl levulinate (ML) and butyl levulinate (BL) productions, respectively, with good performance. This study demonstrated the potential of Fe/HY catalyst for esterification of LA to levulinate esters at mild process conditions

    Public Policy Of Hydrocarbon Productivity Optimization For Oleo- And Petrochemical Industry: System Dynamics Approach (Case Study : Hydrocarbon Consumption In Riau Province, Indonesia)
    (2016-04-22) Nasution, Feldiansyah Bin Bakri; Bazin, Nor Erne Nazira; Putranto, Prayudhi; Affandy, Yusmar
    Nowadays, Riau Province located in Indonesia which is producing approximately fifty percent of Indonesia crude oil production and ten million metric tonnes (MT) of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) from two million hectares of palm oil plantation, has become a potential province to develop a centre of oleo- and petrochemical industry in Sumatra Island. Eventhough it is not a significant natural gas producer, the neighboring provinces such as Jambi and South Sumatra are supplying large amount of natural gas. It is such a challenging moment for Riau local government to have strategic policy of oil and natural gas productivity into petrochemical industry to manufacture its derivative products. It is also happening to CPO in oleochemical industry. If all of these hydrocarbons used as raw materials are high because of the expansion of oleo- and petrochemical industry, the usage of oil and natural gas, as the fossil energy should be substituted by renewable energy, such as wind, water, sunlight, geothermal power. Until now, government and private sectors seem less to care to optimize this productivity. System dynamics is used to simulate the behavior of this hydrocarbons consumption as the energy and product supply to the oleo- and petrochemical industries. Public policy as the intervention is introduced to become the feedback to the government and private sectors to take the growth of oleo- and petrochemical business.

    (2016-04-22) Suhadi, Annur; Norahmansyah; Hayatullah, M Salman; Satria, Andi; Wiryawan, M. Doddy; Putranto, Prayudi; Bukian, Nyoman
    Operational problem of CaCO3 scale has been experienced for many oil-wells in Zamrud field. Some CaCO3 scales encountered in tubing and other in artificial lift. This problem increased operating cost of work over job to pull out the artificial lifts which were stuck by CaCO3 scale. In order to clean up the perforation zone with high skin effect contributed by CaCO3 scale, acidizing using 15% HCl was conducted, but the production time was very short and the oil-wells were needed to be re-acidized. In order to get longer production life of treatment, the growth of CaCO3 scale is needed to be inhibited after acidizing job. Downhole scale squeeze treatment (DSST) has good performance with step of crystal growth retardation, crystal nucleation inhibition, and crystal dispersion. Scale inhibitor which was pumped is 10% Gyptron IT-256, with active content of bishexamethylene triamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) tested using dynamic scale loop to determine minimum inhibitor concentration, which is necessary step in the evaluation process. For many oil-wells, DSST show a good performance indicated by longer production with almost constant watercut. Good understanding of type of scale inhibitor which was used and the characteristic of content of positive and negative ion in formation water as well as mineralogy of perforated zone in oil wells enables of remedy other oil wells in different fields with variety of mineralogy and bottom-hole temperature

    (2016-04-22) Amri, Amun; Herman, Syamsu
    Copper oxide thin film coatings have been successfully coated on reflective aluminium substrates via facile sol–gel dip-coating route for spectrally selective absorber (SSA) application. For quantitatively analysis, the reflectance spectra obtained from UV-Vis-NIR and FTIR equiped with the integration spheres were used to measure the absorptance and emitance values, respectively. To optimize the performance, relevant parameters such as the concentration of sol precursor and the dip-drying cycle were investigated. The increase of the concentration of copper sol precursor in range of 0.1 - 0.3 M increased the absorptance value, likewise with the increase of the dip-drying cycles. The maximum absorptance of =72% with a spectrally selective absorber profile was achieved by a SSA material synthesized using 0.3 M copper nitrate, 0.3 M propionic acid, and 8 times dip-drying cycles. The emitance value of =6.63% for this coating was recorded.

    (2016-04-22) Helianty, Sri
    Crispy-fried onions is a popular garnish and flavour enhancing produced by deep frying. Home based industries producing crispy-fried onions use a traditional conventional stoves for heating oil. Since conventional stoves fuel by biomass, such as woods, deep frying process releases toxic fumes that compraises small particles, carbon monoxide, and other noxious fumes. Therefore, replacement the conventional stove stove in crispy-fried onions home-based industries by the gasifier stove is necessary because the gasifier is healthier than the traditional stove. Home-based industries adopt the healthy stove technology for the traditional stove replacement as long as the stove is low-priced fuel intake, easily operated and simply constructed. This study is aim to evaluate energy cost for red onions frying in a home based industry that is production cost component. At the beginning of frying process, initial amount of woods was placed in gasifier stove, than certain amount of wood was added into the gasifier stove periodically for 1 hour. The result shows the gasifier stove requires 0,6 kg of woods / 1 kg fried onions / hour only while the traditional stove requires 1 kg of woods / 1 kg fried onions / hour. These numbers means the energy cost of the healthy stove is lower than the the traditional that effect on variable cost reduction from Rp. 655.000,- to Rp 462.000,-.

    (2016-04-22) Syukran; Elfiana; Saifuddin
    Patchouli distillation using process direct steam contact has been done by patchouli community in Indonesia has not been enough to produce the maximum rendement and quality. Rendement with conventional refining raw materials normal conditions ranged from 2-2.5% to the value of Patchouly Alcohol (PA) 30% ~ 32%. The rendement is influenced also by the condition of the raw material. The rendement can be improved through the engineering process. It is assumed that the low rendement is caused by the quality of steam distillation that is at the level of saturation or a mixture so that the energy required for the release of oil bonds in the raw material is not reached maximum. This research purposes to develop a process using superheated steam to improve the quality of steam distillation in an effort to drive the rendement using biomasssa as fuel. This research has produced a distillation unit with a capacity of 20kg of raw material / batch consisting of boilers with steam drum and superheater facilities, raw material boiler, condenser and oil separator.

    Experiences The Operation Of Coal Gasification Unit In Tea Drying Plant
    (2016-04-22) Sanjaya, Ari Susandy; Putri, Novy Pralisa
    Anticipating the fluctuation of fuel oil cost, the management of tea plantation and drying plant has considered to substitute its oil consumption with producer gas (gaseous fuel obtained from gasification process). A tea drying unit normally consumes 70 Liter/hours of industrial diesel oil and is operated 10 hours per day. Based on energy balance calculation, this oil consumption might be replaced with coal of about 100 kg through gasification process. The gasification unit consisted of a downdraft fixed bed gasifier (designed capacity of about 100 kg/h), gas cooling and cleaning systems. The gas producer was delivered to the tea processing unit and burned to heat the drying air. Low calorific value coal 4500 kcal/kg and wood waste 4000 kcal/kg have been used as fuel. The gasification unit could be operated as long as 8 hours without refueled since the coal hopper on the top part of gasifier has a capacity of 1000 kg. Sometimes, the gasification process must be stopped before coal completely consumed due to ash melting inside the gasifier. Combustion of producer gas giving a pale blue flame, probably due to a lower calorific value of the gas producer or too much excess air. Temperature of heating air heated by combustion of this gas producer was only up to 85 oC. To attain the target temperature of 102 oC, a portion of fuel oil or small oil burner was still used, ie 15 Liter/hours instead of the original consumption of 70 Liter/hours. Thus the oil replacement was about 78 percent.
