Pengaruh Penambahan Silica Nanopartikel dan Surfaktan SLS (Sodium Lignosulfonat) terhadap Proses Adsorpsi pada Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

Surfactant flooding is a chemically enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that removes trapped residual oil by lowering the oil-water interfacial tension. The success of surfactant flooding is strongly affected by surfactant loss through its adsorption process on reservoir mineral rocks. Surfactant adsorption is a test method to determine whether surfactant is adsorbed in the reservoir rocks. In the surfactant adsorption test, only static adsorption was carried out. The mixed-surfactant formulation used 70% surfactant SLS, 22% PFAD, and 8% 1-octanol (w/v). Mixed-surfactant concentration variations are 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1% (w/v). The IFT test results showed that the smallest IFT value at a concentration of 1% is 3.15 x 10-3 mN/M. In this research, adding silica nanoparticles (SNPs) to the mixed-surfactant solution is expected to reduce the interfacial tension (IFT) value and the amount of surfactant adsorbed in the reservoir rocks. Variations of SNPs concentration used are 0.05, 0.09, 0.15, and 0.3% (w/v). The lowest IFT test result by adding concentration SNPs of 0.09% is 2.07 x 10-4 mN/M. The adsorption test result showed that by adding SNPs with concentration 0.09%  with adsorption time of 24h is effective to used for adsorption

Produksi Organic Preservative dan Solid Biofuel dari Hydrothermal Treatment Tongkol Jagung dengan Variasi Temperatur

Corn is one of staple food and influential commodity driving Indonesia’s economy. Indonesia currently produces as high as 19 million tons of corn which contains 50% of biomass in the form of cob. Waste from harvesting and consumption of corn, namely, corn cob (CC) is left as waste. This CC is actually a sustainable, easily accessible, and renewable biomass energy source as an alternative to Indonesia’s depleting fossil fuel reserves. Hydrothermal treatment is a conversion method that has some consequential advantages compared to other methods; e.g. the ability to treat high-moisture biomass like CC and the possibility to use lower temperature. This research aims to produce and characterize liquid and solid fuel subsequent to hydrothermal treatment of CC obtained from Sleman, Yogyakarta. After size reduction, fine particles were mixed with water to form slurry. Slurry was heated in an autoclave for hydrothermal treatment at initial pressure of 2.0 MPa and was held for 200 °C, 240 °C, and 270 °C in 30 minutes. The solid and liquid products were then separated. Liquid was analyzed using GC-MS and solid by using AAS. The result showed that, in comparison to raw material, solid product had higher carbon content which resulted in the increase of calorific value of the solid biofuel. The calorific value of solid product ranged from 19,59 -22,02 MJ/kg or 20,93-35,87% higher than raw materials and 4-17% higher than average coal used in Indonesia. Major component in liquid product are N, N-dimethyl formamide, furfural, and phenolic compound, with benzoic acid present as minor component. The potential of liquid products as organic preservatives are examined by testing the tenacity of wood against termite according to ASTM D3345-74 standard method. Result showed that liquid product were effective in exhibiting termiticidal activity and temperature 200 °C showed the optimum condition.  ABSTRAKJagung merupakan salah satu makanan pokok dan komoditas yang berpengaruh terhadap ekonomi Indonesia.

Analysis of the Carrying Capacity and the Total Maximum Daily Loads of the Karang Mumus Sub-watershed in Samarinda City Using the WASP Method

Watershed is a multi-aspect ecological system, which functions as a source of water resources, in order to meet daily needs. It also motivates both economical and life matters, as well as serve as a sanitary channel for the surrounding community. Watershed also generates pollutants, which are known to potentially cause a decrease in river water quality. The degradation of river habitats that are caused by high pollutants penetration into the water body, decreases the capacity to carry out self-purification of toxic loads. The water pollutant load-carrying capacity is then calculated through various methods, one of which is the use of a computerized numerical modeling simulation called WASP (Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program). This method was developed by the ES-EPA, in order to process TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Loads) data on river bodies, as well as examine each part of the water quality, based on spatial and temporal inputs. This study was conducted at the Karang Mumus Sub-watershed flowing through the centre of Samarinda City, with aims to determine the pollutants' carrying capacity, existing load, and toxic waste allocation, via the use of the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) technique as a parameter of water quality. The calculation was carried out by segmenting the river into five parts, based on the number of districts it passes through, during pollutant loads inventory. The WASP modeling simulation showed that the total pollutant load-carrying capacity of the whole segments was 5,670 kg/day. It also showed the existing loads of about 3,605 kg/day, with the margin having the ability to receive pollutants at 2,065 kg/day. Moreover, the allocation of pollutant loads varies for each segment, with 2, 3, and 4 observed to reduce the pollutant by 390, 220, and 10 kg/day, respectively. However, segments 1 and 5 were still allowed to receive pollutant loads up to 1,740 and 945 kg/day, respectively

Karakterisasi Larutan Polimer KYPAM HPAM untuk Bahan Injeksi dalam Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

Polymer injection is one method of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), where the polymer is dissolved in water, usually the formation water. Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) polymer types are most commonly used. This study aims to investigate the effect of KYPAM HPAM polymer concentration and operating conditions upon the water injection in order to determine the optimal injection system. Viscosity of polyacrylamide solution was measured with a Brookfield viscometer. Variation in salinity is carried out by mixing formation water with distilled water, whereas for high salinity of formation water using evaporation method. Shear rate was varied in the range of 145 s-1, while solution temperature was varied in the range of 70 87°C , and the effect of H2S gas in the solution was conducted by saturating the solution using natural gas which has concentration of H2S as 100 ppm. The results show that the effect of salinity solution has the greatest influence on the decrease in viscosity of the solution when compared to the other factors. Decrease in viscosity was due to agglomeration process resulting precipitate of polyacrylamide in the form of vaterite and aragonite morphology. The result also show that an increase in shear rate resulting lower viscosity. The increase in temperature causes the viscosity of the solution decreases. Meanwhile, the presence of H2S in the solution reduces the viscosity of the solution due to chemical degradation. Keywords: EOR, formation water, polymer injection, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, salinity, polymer concentration. Injeksi polimer merupakan salah satu metode dalam Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Dalam hal ini, polimer terlebih dulu dilarutkan dalam air, biasanya air formasi. Poliakrilamida terhidrolisis (HPAM) merupakan salah satu jenis polimer yang paling sering digunakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi polimer KYPAM HPAM dan kondisi operasi pada injeksi air untuk menentukan sistem injeksi yang optimal. Larutan poliakrilamida diukur viskositasnya dengan viskometer Brookfield. Variasi salinitas dilakukan dengan mencampur air formasi dan aquades, sedangkan untuk salinitas tinggi dari air formasi dengan menggunakan metode penguapan.Variasi shear rate dilakukan pada kisaran 145 s-1, sedangkan suhu larutan divariasikan di kisaran 7087°C. Pengaruh gas H2S dalam larutan dilakukan dengan menjenuhkan larutan menggunakan gas alam yang memiliki konsentrasi H2S 100 ppm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salinitas memiliki pengaruh terbesar pada penurunan viskositas larutan bila dibandingkan dengan faktor-faktor lain. Penurunan viskositas disebabkan aglomerasi menghasilkan endapan poliakrilamida dalam bentuk vaterite dan morfologi aragonit. Hasil percobaan juga menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan shear rate, mengakibatkan viskositas larutan terukur rendah. Peningkatan suhu menyebabkan viskositas larutan turun, sedangkan kehadiran H2S dalam larutan mengurangi viskositas larutan karena terjadi degradasi kimia pada polimer.
