The most effective method for converting waste into energy is gasification with updraft gasifier. Different types of waste are contained in organic waste, which has a high moisture content ranging from 16.95% to 53.74% collected from TPST Piyungan, Yogyakarta. The effect of moisture content which are categorized as low, medium, and high on operation time, fuel conversion rate and heating rate is the main thing observed in this study. The ideal value for the organic waste moisture content that can be obtained for a successful gasification operation is 15.68%.

This study also investigated the effect of reactor operating temperature on reactor efficiency and hydrogen production. A numerical thermodynamic approach was applied in the design process. The model, validated by laboratory experiments by other institutions, was in good agreement with previous research with an error value of 13%. The temperature range was dynamically limited from 30 to 80°C. The optimum operating conditions occurred when the temperature was set at 80 °C with a reactor efficiency, a water consumption rate, and a hydrogen production capacity of 76.3%, 2.817 kg/hour, and 250.42 kg/hour, respectively. The raw material, namely seawater, was processed using the reverse osmosis method. Ten reactors (with 13 cells per reactor) were installed in parallel.","PeriodicalId":120071,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Renewable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115402150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LHmBB is composed of two sections which are the liquid hold-up model and bubble behavior investigations. The liquid hold-up model is developed based on the statistical analysis of the probability density function (PDF) to quantify the bubble distribution. The bubble behaviors are qualitatively investigated based on the high-speed camera and correlated to the quantified LH for the characterization of sub-regime of air-water slug flow. The LHmBB characterizes the sub-regime of air-water slug flow in a horizontal transparent acrylic pipe with an inner diameter of underwater and air superficial velocities of and, respectively. As a result, four sub-regimes are determined as Initially dispersed Bubbles (IdB), Low dispersed Bubbles (LdB), High dispersed Bubbles (HdB), and Dominantly dispersed Bubbles (DdB). The presence of bubbles determines the type of sub-regime by decreasing the number of bubbles and dispersing the bubbles mechanism. Moreover, the proposed LHmBb includes the correlation function to ease the prediction of the sub-regimes of air-water slug flow characteristics which leads to the enhancements of the two-phase flow pattern map in horizontal pipes.","PeriodicalId":120071,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Renewable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127032998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microalgae are considered to be the most promising new source of biomass compared with first and second-generation feedstocks. A great challenge is a choice of an effective approach for microalgae harvesting. Additional challenges of microalgae harvesting come from the small size of microalgae cells (3-30µm) and the similarity of the density of the microalgae cells to the growth medium. This research is aimed to determine the appropriate microalgae harvesting technology for bio-crude oil production. Several potential microalgae harvesting technologies are centrifugation, filtration, inorganic flocculation, organic flocculation, bioflocculation, electrocoagulation, and flocculation-sedimentation. The method used in this research is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results indicate that the parameters taken into consideration are energy need (0.339), cost (0.214), risk of contamination (0.098), efficiency (0.133), technology availability (0.066), microalgae strain flexibility (0.079), and production time (0.071). In a case study, the pairwise comparison of seven alternatives each for the harvesting and seven criteria are compared.

The variations of the number of repetitions, cavitation number, microalgae concentration, and temperature have affected the energy requirement value. The first model uses total lipid mass transfer approximation (Model 1) and the second uses separated lipid mass transfer approximation (Model 2). Based on Model 1 the value of total volumetric mass transfer coefficient ( ) f were 1.166 x 10-2, 3.113 x 10-3 and 1.285 x 10-3 min-1 with coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.9797.
