Optimalisasi Pemeliharaan Saluran Kencong Timur Jaringan Irigasi Pondok Waluh Wilayah Sungai Bondoyudo Bedadung Kabupaten Jember

Kondisi Jaringan Irigasi (JI) Pondok Waluh saat ini masih cukup baik, namun pada saluran terdapat sedimentasi sehingga kapasitas saluran mengalami penurunan. Hal ini menyebabkan penyediaan, pembagian, dan pendistribusian air irigasi ke petak tersier DI Pondok Waluh sangat berkurang dibandingkan debit rencana. Namun, ketersediaan anggaran/dana pemeliharaan terbatas (tidak mencukupi) bila pengerukan sedimen dilakukan serentak seluruh JI Pondok Waluh dalam satu tahun anggaran. Dengan permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini bermaksud melakukan optimalisasi pengerukan sedimen dengan dana terbatas menggunakan metode Linear Programming. Analisa dilakukan dengan mengukur dan menghitung kapasitas saluran rencana, kapasitas saluran eksisting, volume sedimen, biaya pemeliharaan (pengerukan), dan membuat model optimalisasi pengerukan. Dari hasil penelitian, volume total sedimen pada Saluran Kencong Timur adalah 76.703,88 m3. Biaya keseluruhan untuk pengerukan sedimen adalah Rp 5.599.383.430. Simulasi biaya Rp 1.120.000.000 dapat mengeruk sedimen 13.563,60 m3 dengan ketebalan antara 0,01 m dan 0,16 m sehingga memfungsikan BKT1 sampai BKT4. Simulasi biaya Rp 2.240.000.000 dapat mengeruk sedimen 30.681,55 m3 dengan ketebalan antara 0,01 m dan 0,24 m sehingga memfungsikan BKT3, BKT4, BKT5, BKT6, BKT8, BKT9, dan BKT11. Simulasi biaya Rp 3.360.000.000 dapat mengeruk sedimen 46.022,33 m3 dengan ketebalan antara 0,04 m dan 0,41 m sehingga memfungsikan BKT3, BKT4, BKT5, BKT6, BKT7, BKT8, BKT9, BKT11, BKT12, dan BKT13. Simulasi biaya Rp 4.480.000.000 dapat mengeruk sedimen 61.363,11 m3 dengan ketebalan berkisar antara 0,03 m dan 0,55 m sehingga memfungsikan BKT3 sampai dengan BKT13. Simulasi biaya Rp 5.599.383.430 bisa mengeruk seluruh sedimen, dengan ketebalan antara 0,30 m dan 0,69 sehingga memfungsikan semua Bangunan Sadap. Dari hasil simulasi minimal yang diharapkan adalah dapat mengembalikan fungsi BKT2 dan BKT5 hal ini dikarenakan area layanan yang paling luas diantara kelima belas bangunan sadap berada pada BKT2 dan BKT5 dengan luas 2396 Ha dan 614 Ha. Sementara untuk mendapatkan tujuan ini, biaya minimal yang dibutuhkan untuk pengerukan sedimen adalah Rp 2.240.000.000 ============================================================================================ The condition of Pondok Waluh Irrigation System is good enough, but there is a sedimentation in the canal that cause decreased the capacity of the canal. This problem causes provision, allocation, and distribution of water irrigation to the field in Pondok Waluh Irrigation Area greatly reduced . But, the availability of budget/fund maintenance is very limited or inadequate when dredging sediment performed simultaneously throughout Pondok Waluh Irrigation Area in one fiscal year. With these problems, this research intend to optimize dredging sediments with limited funds using Linear Programming. The analysis was done by measuring and calculating the capacity of canal plan, the capacity of the existing canal, sediment’s volume, the cost of maintenance (dredging), and create a model of optimization of dredging. The results showed that the total volume of sediments in Kencong Timur Canal is 76.703,88 m3. The overall cost for the dredging of sediment is Rp 5.599.383.430. Cost simulation Rp 1.120.000.000 can dredge sediments 13.563,60 m3 with a thickness between 0,01 m and 0,16 m so that BKT1 until BKT4 can function. Cost simulation Rp 2.240.000.000 can dredge sediments 30.681,55 m3 with a thickness between 0,01 m and 0,24 m so that BKT3, BKT4, BKT5, BKT6, BKT8, BKT9, and BKT11 can function. Cost simulation Rp 3.360.000.000 can dredge sediments 46.022,33 m3 with a thickness between 0,04 m and 0,41 m so that BKT3, BKT4, BKT5, BKT6, BKT7, BKT8, BKT9, BKT11, BKT12, and BKT13 can function. Cost simulation Rp 4.480.000.000 can dredge sediments 61.363,11 m3 with a thickness between 0,03 m and 0,55 m so that BKT3 until BKT13 can function. Cost simulation Rp 5.599.383.430 can dredge the entire sediment with a thickness between 0,30 m and 0,69 so that BKT1 until BKT15 can function. So In this research, the results of the minimum simulation expect to restore the function of BKT2 and BKT5, this is because the most extensive service area between the fifteenth are in BKT2 and BKT5 with an area 2396 ha and 614 ha. Meanwhile, to obtain this goal, the cost of the minimum required for the dredging of sediment is Rp 2.240.000.00

Vapor phase synthesis of smart membranes for macromolecule separation applications

Today, state-of-the-art synthesis and advanced purification at a reasonable price and in a short time is necessary to reach the high purity of molecules in chemicals and biochemical manufacturing industry. One of the most important methods is to use functional polymers in order to increase the permeability and selectivity of commonly used membranes. Smart membranes change their physicochemical properties in response to changes in their environment such as pH, temperature, ionic strength, light, electric and magnetic fields. The main goal of this thesis is to design and prepare different types of separation membranes via vapor polymerization methods to improve the permeability and selectivity of the membranes. Stimuli responsive polymers are used to functionalize the membranes for triggered control of permeation and tuning of the release kinetics. In the first chapter, nonporous, ultra-thin large area free-standing functional membranes are developed. The mesh size is tuned to control the permeability and selectivity of the membranes for separation of model dye molecules with different size and polarity. In the second part, hybrid membranes are produced by modifying AAO template pores using smart polymers. Shape, size and charge interactions between the membranes and macromolecules are the key factors in controlling the membrane selectivity via changing the membrane pore size at different pH values. Double-sided Janus membranes with two different pH responses are developed as gating membranes to control the flow of the protein molecules through the membrane. The key-shaped non-conformal coatings allow to control protein diffusion by blocking, delaying and releasing protein depending on the acidity of the medium. Furthermore, the shape of the nanochannels is another critical factor in separation of proteins by membranes. Membranes with symmetric cylindrical and asymmetric conical functionalized nanochannels are developed to control the protein flux and separation. Finally, negatively charged and neutral membranes are fabricated to separate two proteins with the same size but different charges using pH responsive polymers

Protein gating by vapor deposited Janus membranes

Multi-functional Janus membranes, with opposing properties on each side, can act as on-off gates for controlled release, switchable permeation or directional transport of macromolecules. Janus membranes with poly (methylacrylic acid-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), p(MAA-co-EGDMA), and poly (4-vinylpyridine-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), p(4VP-co-EGDMA), polymer coatings on opposite sides are prepared by initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) technique. Conformality of the coatings on the pore openings can be controlled by changing the ratio of the partial pressure (P-m) to the saturation pressure (P-sat) of the monomer and at P-m/P-sat values of 0.20-0.24, keyhole shapes can be obtained. The keyhole shape of the polymer at the pore openings allows closing of the pores upon swelling of the polymer due to a change in the pH of the environment. The Janus membranes are used for protein gating by successfully blocking the permeation of a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA). The membranes can take in, store and release the BSA molecules on demand by controlling the open/close states of the pores on the opposite sides individually

Smart membranes with pH-responsive control of macromolecule permeability

Utilization of membranes for separation of macromolecules has gained wide interest in the last decade, especially after the development of smart membranes with tunable properties for improved separation performance. In this work, we fabricated hybrid membranes with variable pore sizes that depend on the pH of the environment. Hybrid membranes were prepared by conformally coating the pore walls of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates with the pH sensitive poly(methylacrylic acid-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (p(MAA-co-EGDMA)) polymer using initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD). Performance of the membranes was investigated under different pH conditions using nanoparticles, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and BSA protein as permeates. Reduced pore sizes at pH 9 due to swollen polymer decreased the permeability of permeates compared to that at pH 3. In addition to size, charge interactions between the polymer surface and permeates affected the permeation. At high pH values, permeation of BSA was reduced due to reduced pore size and the electrostatic interactions with the polymer
