Pembuatan Biogas dari Rumput Laut Jenis Caulerpa racemosa dan Sargassum duplicatum sebagai Bahan Energi Alternatif
Abstract: Seaweed has economic
value that is very important for humans. Several years ago, only seaweed used
as human food ingredients. Given the many types of seaweed are still not
popular yet widely used and Along with the progress of science and technology,
utilization of seaweed has expanded in various fields, including one uses
seaweed as an ingredient of biogas alternative energy. The purpose of this
study was to determine the potential of seaweed species Sargassum duplicatum
and Caulerpa racemosa for the manufacture of biogas as a new alternative energy
sources and to know the pressure of gas contained in a type of seaweed
Sargassum duplicatum and Caulerpa racemosa as a new alternative energy sources.
This research was conducted in June-September 2010. Samples were taken in
waters around Lampung Marine Aquaculture Development Center. Making biogas
process is conducted at the Laboratory of Marine Science. Faculty of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Sriwijaya University. The method used is a
laboratory experimental methods. Making biogas is done by collecting seaweed
and beach sediments as seedman making, preparation of the digester and the
making of starter and stuffing, were examined by using biogas pressure
manometer U for three months, analyze the data descriptively biogas pressure.
Based on the results of research in getting the peak pressure for this type of
seaweed Sargassum duplicatum is 15.47 psi, 16.05 psi and 16.43 while to get the
type of Caulerpa racemosa in the peak pressure of 15.42 psi, 15.88 psi and 16,
43 psi.
