Abstract: Remaining organic
waste product of nilam oil distillation is a potential biomass as a fuel substitute
for firewood. Utilization of waste distillation during refining is considered not yet optimal. Whereas
by utilizing distillation
waste will be
obtained by the
double advantage is decreasing
the cost of
production like reduction
of the cost
of purchasing firewood,
waking environment from illegal
logging and encroachment
uncontrolled firewood and
maintaining forest conservation. This
research was conducted
by varying waste of
nilam distillation mixed fuel
with firewood with a
variation of 0%,
25%, 50%, 75%
and 100% waste
compared to firewood. Distillation capacity
of each process
is 60 kg
of raw materials
that have been chopped dried nilam. Dependent variables are sought
in the form of heating value, temperature data in space heating, steam
temperature and volume of nilam oil is produced for each variation of fuel
weight fraction of waste nilam.
The result is a solid fuel heating value increases with increasing weight
fraction of waste nilam compared to the firewood. Zones heating temperatures
and steam temperature fluctuated or not stable for all variations of fuel
weight fraction of waste nilam. Steam temperature below 100°C which
indicates the water
content in the
steam is still
high. Time required
for each distillation process
with a capacity of 60 kg is still relatively long time is 5 to 6 hours. Volume nilam oil
products tend to
increase with increasing
weight fraction of
fuel from the
dregs of nilam.
