Abstract

Muhammad Ginta Munthe : Utilization Shells Palm Oil and Palm Oil Sludge Waste As Raw Material Preparation Biobriket Charcoal, guided by, Achwil putra Munir, STP, M.Si, Adian Rindang STP, M.Si. Briquette is one type of alternative fuel made from various kinds of biological or biomass , biomass used in this study is the palm shells and palm oil waste sludge . This research aims to make charcoal from biomass biobriket palm shells and sewage sludge palm oil as an alternative fuel and to test the quality of biobriket charcoal , among others, the quality of calorific value , water content , density and ash content . Testing was performed under non factorial completely randomized design with prameter calorific value , water content , density and ash content . The results of this study indicate that the composition of charcoal biobriket very real effect terrhadap calorific value , water content , density and ash content . Average - average calorific values obtained in this study is 3714.16 cal / g , does not meet quality standards of briquettes made in the UK , Japan , USA and Indonesia , the average - average water content obtained in this study is 7.95 % , not meet the quality standards of briquettes made in the UK , Japan , USA but meet the quality standards of briquettes made in Indonesia , the average - average density obtained in this study is 0.79 ( g / cm3 ) , meets the quality standards of briquettes made in Japan , America but does not meet the quality standards briquettes made in Indonesia , the average - average ash content obtained in this study is 19.84 ( % ) , did not meet quality standards briquettes
