| dc.description.abstract | Bio-Oil is a liquid fuel made from biomass to be used as an alternative energy to replace petroleum fuel. Bio-oil as fuel can be processed into other biofuel products such as biodiesel and biokerosene which can be used as a substitute for diesel fuel to be applied as vehicle fuel.
The pre-designed factory for making bio-oil from empty palm fruit fruit bunches is designed with a production capacity of 8,000 tons/year and operates 330 days a year. The factory location is planned to be in Batubara Regency, North Sumatra. The aim of designing a bio-oil plant is to apply chemical engineering knowledge which includes mass balance, energy balance, equipment specifications, chemical engineering operations, utilities and other parts of chemical engineering, as well as to meet the need for environmentally friendly alternative fuels.
