RANCANG BANGUN ALAT PENCETAK BRIKET ARANG BERBAHAN DASAR LIMBAH TEH
ABSTRACT: Charcoal briquette
is a form of renewable energy from biomass derived from plants or plant that
produces many underutilized agricultural waste. One of utilization of the
agricultural waste is tea waste that into briquettes as an alternative energy
to replace fuel oil and gas, as well as a raw material for the manufacture of
activated charcoal. That is why the author made a cast to simplify charcoal
briquette printing making process. This study used literature study, cast
making, instruments testing and parameters observation. Parameters measured
were was capacity, moisture content, ash content, heating value, economic
analysis, break even point, net present value, and internal rate of return. The
results showed the capacity was 2,907kg tool / h, average water content was
2,6%, average ash content was 6,357%, average calorific value was 5740,70 cal /
g, cost was Rp. 25.750,46 for the first year, Rp. 25.453,35 for the second
year, Rp. 25.354,45 for the third year, Rp. 25.305,08 for the fourth year, and
Rp. 25.275,53 for the fifth year, the break even point 952,89 kg /year for the
first year, 513,71 kg /year for the second year, 367,52 kg / year for the third
year, 367,52 kg / year for the fourth year and 250,86 kg / year for the fifth year,
net present value of Rp. 1.135.273.634,79, internal rate of return was 12,74%,
its mean that this equipment was worthy to used.
