One technology that can be used is pyrolysis. This study aims to (1) determine the quantity and the characteristics of oil from the results of pyrolysis polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) plastic waste at various temperatures which include characteristics of physics (specific gravity, heating value, flash point, pour point, and kinematic viscosity) and chemical characteristics (composition compounds in oil), (2) determine the optimal conditions of process pyrolysis related to the quality and quantity of oil by pyrolysis, and (3) determine the potential treatment of PE and PS plastic waste by pyrolysis method.The materials used in this study were the type of polyethylene (plastic bags) and polystyrene/styrofoam (for fruits or vegetables) plastic waste. The selected temperature variations are T = 400oC, 450oC, and 500oC. Pyrolysis oil was weighed and measured its volume to obtain v/wo and yield.The results showed that the quantity of pyrolysis oil from polyethylene (PE) plastic waste at temperatures of 400, 450, and 500oC based on v/wo (ml/g) respectively were 0.3429 ml/g; 0.5129 ml/g; and 0.199 ml/g while the results of polystyrene (PS) plastic waste at temperatures of 400, 450, and 500oC respectively were 0.89 ml/g; 0.905 ml/g; and 0.915 ml/g. The results of pyrolysis oil based on yield of polyethylene (PE) plastic waste at temperatures of 400, 450, and 500oC respectively were 33.33 wt%; 38.61 wt%; and 15.55 wt% while polystyrene (PS) plastic waste at temperatures of 400, 450, and 500oC respectively were 80.94 wt%; 79.79 wt%; and 80.14 wt%. While the characteristics shown by the results of pyrolysis oil from PE plastic with a temperature of 400oC were closer to kerosene while at temperatures of 450 and 500oC were closer to the characteristics of diesel fuel. As for pyrolysis oil results of PS plastic with temperatures of 400, 450, and 500oC were closer to the characteristics of gasoline. Optimal conditions of pyrolysis oil related to the quantity of pyrolysis of PE plastic at a temperature of 450oC was obtained when the highest of v/wo and yield respectively were 0.5129 ml/g and 38.16 wt%, while for the pyrolysis of PS did not have any optimal conditions. For, oil produced was relatively constant despite the increasing temperatures. Based on technical analysis, handling PE and PS plastic waste using pyrolysis methods provides benefits to society making it feasible to do.","PeriodicalId":280593,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Journal of Systems Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122828738","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}

However, from these ten MHPs, there is only 1 (one) which is still in operation, namely Kedungrong MHP. This Kedungrong MHP was selected as the research area due to its success in managing the MHP so that the electricity generated can be used by its local residents until now. Based on this best practice, the other MHPs which are still under construction or that have ‘stalled’ should learn from Kedungrong MHP to be able to reoperate so that they will be sustainable.This research employed mixed methods, between the quantitative research method and the qualitative research method. First, the data were collected using surveys, interviews and observation and then the model of the management system that Kedungrong MHP applies was described and evaluated.The findings of the research suggest that a sustainable MHP integrates three aspects, namely technical and environmental, social as well as economic aspects. The technical aspects deals with civil, mechanical and electrical components at the stages of planning, developing to operation and maintenance. The social aspects look carefully at community participation at the stages of planning, developing to operation and maintenance. Finally, the economic aspects pay attention to sources and forms of financing at the investment stage, the operation stage and the maintenance stage. In relation to the MHP scale, of those three aspects, the one that has the most significant impact on the sustainability of the MHP is the social aspects.","PeriodicalId":280593,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Journal of Systems Engineering","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116774800","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}

To ensure the appropriate selected land, a systematic process must be developed and followed.The study of the selection of the landfill (TPA) is aimed at finding feasible area as the location of the landfill, so that the allocation of the new landfill will be in accordance with local policies in regional spatial planning and meet the criteria of ISO No. 19-3241-1994. The role of Geographic Information System (GIS) in the management of solid waste is important because many aspects of planning and operations are highly dependent on the spatial data. The landfill selection process consists of three stages of filtering, i.e., the feasibility of the environment by utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) to map the location of viable landfill, regional filtering phase based on the regional policy and the elimination filtering using SNI 19-3241-1994.The results of the study showed that with an estimated population in 2033 which is 330 807 people, the amount of waste that will go to the landfill through the 3R principle reached 309.36 m3 / day or 61.87 tons / day so that the area of the required land for the sanitary landfill pattern with a 20 year planning is 17.70 Ha.

This type of sand filter is prominent in its simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness. The term effectiveness refers to the performance on removing particulate matter and microorganisms. There are some significant factors should be considered in the system of slow sand filtration, such as grain size distribution of media, sand type, bed depth, operation mode of filter, and filtration rate. This study focuses on the influence of different effective size of media and operation mode in slow sand filtration especially on removing turbidity. Grain size distribution is represented by the effective size (d10) and uniformity coefficient (Cu). In regard to the operation mode, both sizes were operated under intermittent operation mode and were compared in two different level of supernatant layer: decreasing level and constant level. Laboratory scale experiments were conducted using four filter columns. Two filter columns were filled up with Rhein sand in different effective size of d10 0.075 mm and d10 0.50 mm. Uniformity coefficient Cu 2.5 and curvature coefficient Cc 1 were the same for both d10. Every column was fed with the same concentration of artificial raw water. The artificial raw water was created from Heilerde (clay from Germany) which passed 0.063 mm sieve opening mixed with tap water. Fine grain size tends to be easier to be controlled in regard to filtration rate, and vice versa for the coarse grain size. Surprisingly, the coarse grain size was able to remove turbidity as good as the fine grain size. Permeability of column was also tested and it decreased along with the addition of Heilerde.","PeriodicalId":280593,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Journal of Systems Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126878843","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}
