OPTIMASI KINERJA PROSES DISTILASI MINYAK AKAR WANGI DENGAN MODIFIKASI SUHU DAN KESETIMBANGAN FASA
ABSTRACT: This
research aims was to improve distillation process performance of vetiver oil in
term of oil recovery and quality and energy efficiency through optimizing
process condition. The main approach used in this work is stepwise increased
steam pressure and flow rate along the distillation process. This method
combined the relationship between temperature, phase equilibrium and boiling
point of chemical constituents of vetiver oil. Distillation process with increased
pressure was observed improve the oil recovery. while the oil quality was
maintained. The energy efficiency was also improved through reduced
distillation time. Increased steam flow rate significantly affect total oil
recovery. The steam flow rate of 2 1/hr/kg material result in an vetiver oil
recovery of 90 percent.
