It also investigated the best absorber design based on %flooding and pressure drop. This simulation was carried out using the Aspen Hysys software version V.10. The variables of packing type consisted of PALL, berl, and raschig. The simulation results indicated that the larger the column diameter for each type of packing, the smaller the %flooding value. Meanwhile, the limit value of the %flooding for each type of packing given by Aspen Hysys was 30%– 80%. Further simulation results showed that the larger the column diameter in each type of packing, the smaller the pressure drop value. The pressure drop limit value given by Aspen Hysys was 3,658 mbar. In addition, the next simulation results demonstrated that the greater the value of the given gas flow rate, the greater the % CO2 removal value.

Based on national fertilizer stock data for NPK 15-10-12 fertilizer, there is a gap between the actual stock nationally and the minimum stock. The low actual stock nationally can lead to a scarcity of NPK fertilizer which can affect national food security. So as an alternative solution to solving the problem, the Phosphate I Fertilizer Factory is utilized to be able to produce NPK fertilizer. This problem is solved by using the PDCA Cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Action) method. Based on the data and facts in the field, it is known that the existing equipment condition of the Phosphate I Fertilizer Unit has not been able to produce NPK fertilizer. The results of the project found the best solution to the problem of equipment conditions at the Phosphate Fertilizer Unit I by modifying the feeding system facility which was originally manual to weigher based by installing 3 hoppers, dozometers, BC mixing, and DAP crusher in the Curing 250 Warehouse, then installing coating facilities and coloring NPK fertilizer on the existing cooler in the Phosphate I Fertilizer Unit, making key operating parameters, and conducting an On Job Training scheme for the Phosphate I Fertilizer Unit personnel at the NPK II/III/IV Plant. So with this modification, the Phosphate Fertilizer Factory I is expected to be able to produce NPK fertilizer.","PeriodicalId":32236,"journal":{"name":"Konversi","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76109479","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}

Biggest challenge lies in the negative issues of oil palm development, namely environmental issues. Land use change, forest clearing, deforestation, peat land for palm plantation expansion are environmental issues because they are considered to disturb the balance of greenhouse gases. The use of non-standard fertilizers and POME processing can also increase CO2 emissions, which in turn will reduce carbon storage in vegetation and soil. Soil is the most potent organic carbon sink compared to plants. Soil is an organic carbon pool (reservoir) that accumulates organic carbon in and organic carbon out. The accumulated carbon is influenced by aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, necromass, litter and soil organic matter. So that the development of oil palm is accused of being one of the factors that play a role in soil organic carbon (SOC), soil carbon loss (SCL), net carbon balance (NCB), or greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions. Where this is a very important component in the palm carbon cycle that has an impact on the global climate. The mass balance approach to the palm carbon cycle obeys the law of conservation of mass. The mass of palm carbon before and after processing is constant. This means that the total mass of palm carbon during the process does not change, only a phase change occurs, namely solid, liquid, and gas.","PeriodicalId":32236,"journal":{"name":"Konversi","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79644366","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}

But peat water has high iron content. It cannot be consumed directly and need further treatment. Adsorption is the most common technology to treat peat water. The goal of this research is to study sago waste adsorbent for iron removal in peat water. Citric acid was employed as activating agent in the sago waste activated carbon adsorbent fabrication. Carbonization process was done at 300 ℃ with 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 minutes of time variation. After treatment using the adsorbent, iron content was tested via Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). While, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) were carried out to investigate the functional groups of sago pith waste activated carbon (SPWAC) and sago pith waste unactivated carbon (SPWUC). The experiment results show iron could be removed until 82% with iron concentration of 0.05 mg/l at 80 minutes. SPWAC and SPWUC have functional groups such as alkenes (C-H and C=C), carbonyl (C=O and C-O) and hydroxyl (O-H). Fe concentrations are still meet water quality standard according to No. 492/Menkes/PER/IV/2010 which is 0.3 mg/L.
