Uji Kehalusan Bahan dan Kosentrasi Perekat Pada Pembuatan Briket Limbah Kelapa Sawit

Abstract

Palm oil mill solid waste originating from the rest of CPO production process that is channeled into the pond waste (Cooling Fond I) which are usually thrown into the ground so that it can contaminate the environment because it still contains waste oil. This study aims to utilize oil palm waste as briquettes. Briquettes is one of the alternative fuel fuel oil (BBM). Testing is done by completely randomized factorial design 2 factors: fineness of the material (20, 30, and 40 mesh) and the concentration of adhesive (20, 30, and 40%). Parameters are observed calorific value, the heating, oil volume, and kejelagaan. The results showed that the fineness of the material provides a significant influence on the heating value, the heating, kejelagaan and distinct influence on the volume of oil is not real. Concentration of adhesive gives a very real influence on the heating value, the heating and distinct influence on the volume of oil is not real and kejelagaan. Treatment interaction effect is very real to the calorific value, the heating and provide different effects are not obvious to the volume of oil and kejelagaan.
