Uji Variasi Komposisi bahan Pembuat Briket Kotoran Sapi dan Limbah Pertanian

Abstract

HASRIL AMRI LUBIS “Ingredients Variation Test of Cow Manure And Compost Heap Briquettes” Supervised by AINUN ROHANAH and EDI SUSANTO. Bio-Carbon Briquette is one of the fuels derived from biomass. Biomass used in this research are Cow Manure and compost heap. The aim of this research was to utilize waste biomass of cow manure and compost heap, as an alternative fuel briquettes in accordance to standard quality. A factorial completely randomized design was used with 2 factors. i.e. concentrating on cow manure (20, 30 and 40%) and kind of compost heap (piece of coconut shell and husk). Parameters observed were water content, ash content and calorific value,. The results showed that the concentration of cow manure had no effect on the water content and calorific value, but had highly significantly affected the ash content. The compost heap had highly significantly affected the water content, ash content and calorific value. The interaction of treatment had highly significantly affected the ash content and had no effect on water content and calorific value. The results showed that water content, ash content and calorific value has fullfilled the National Standard Quality of Indonesia.
