UJI KEHALUSAN BAHAN DAN KONSENTRASI PEREKAT PADA PEMBUATAN BRIKET LIMBAH KELAPA SAWIT
ABSTRACT: Palm oil mill solid
waste resulting from CPO production process is channeled into pond waste
(Cooling Fond I). It is usually thrown to the ground so that it can contaminate
the environment because it still contains waste oil. This
study was aim
to utilize the
oil palm waste
as briquettes. Briquettes
is one of
the alternative to replace
oil. Research was
done by completely
randomized factorial design
with 2 factors
i.e: material fineness (20, 30,
and 40 mesh) and adhesive concentration
(20, 30, and 40%). Parameters observed were calorific value, heating time, oil volume, and sootness. The results
showed that the
material fineness had
a highly significant
effect on the
caloric value, heating time, sootness and had no effect on
the volume of oil. Adhesive concentration had a highly significant effect on
the calorific value, heating time and had no effect on the volume of oil and
sootness. The best treatment
combination was K2P1
(thirty mesh material
fineness and twenty
percent adhesive concentration) with
equipment caloric value
of 18973,81 kal/gr,
56,57 minute heating
time, and 2,25
gr sootness.
