STUDI KINERJA ROTARY KARBONISATOR PIROLISIS TERHADAP PEMBUATAN BIOBRIKET KULIT DURIAN BERDASARKAN TEMPERATUR DAN WAKTU OPERASI

Abstract

Abstract

Biobricket is an alternative energy that can replace the role of kerosene. Biobricket is made from agricultural waste biomass. Durian leather has great potential to be used as raw material for makingbio briquettes, considering that there are many durian leather waste in the city of Padang that has not been utilized. Durian peel bio briquette production required another mixture of biomass to maintain the duration of ignition because the peel bacillus durian quickly burned out. The stages of making durian peel briquettes are: drying materials, biomass carbonization, milling, adhesive mixing, and printing. The purpose of this research is to get a quality biobricket in terms of compressive strength, calorific value, and duration of ignition. The best caloric value in durian peel mixture with coconut shell biomass at carbonization temperature 400ᵒC is 5568 kcal/kg, and the best duration of duration on durian peel mixture with palm kernel biomass at 400ᵒC carbonization temperature is 70 minutes.

Keywords: Biobriket; durian skin and calorific value
