PENGEMBANGAN ALAT PRODUKSI BIOETANOL LIMBAH KULIT UBI KAYU
Abstrak: The use of fossil
fuels in Indonesia reached a high figure. On the other hand, the use of fossil
fuels is not wise will result in global warming and climate change. Bioethanol
is a source of renewable energy that can be (re-newable) with exhaust emissions
of environmental friendly (eco-friendly). The raw material for bioethanol
production is material sugary, starchy and fibrous. The purpose of research is
to develop bioethanol production tools are appropriate and focus on the
development of distillation equipment and conduct a performance test tool with
leather waste materials which contain fiber cassava. Development of
distillation equipment starting from the structural design is a design that
reveals how the bioethanol distillation apparatus is composed of components
that are built, the next is the functional design is a design that provides
information about the function of components - tool components. The next stage
is the process of making the main components and supporting components,
followed by the assembly, finishing and testing equipment. The results of this
research have been developed bioethanol distillation apparatus with the
following specifications: Tank diameter 40 cm, height 60 cm tank, made of
stainless steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Tank capacity of 40 liter.Dari trial
results on skin distillation process results showed that the yield of cassava
peel cassava ethanol produced was 10.3% at the distillation temperature and
time 71áµ’C distillation for 5 hours, the ethanol distilled purity level is
63.4%, and 2.36 tool work capacity liters / hour.
