PENGARUH SUDUT KEMIRINGAN KONDENSER MENGGUNAKAN KONFIGURASI ALIRAN COUNTER FLOW TERHADAP HASIL PIROLISIS LIMBAH BAN DENGAN DEBIT AIR PENDINGIN 6 LPM
Abstract
Since it was first discovered by Charles Goodyear in 1839 AD vulcanized rubber or rubber tires become one of the most widely used objects one of them is for motor vehicle tires. Tires are one of the ingredients that are difficult to degrade naturally by bacteria, so tire waste can have a bad impact on the environment. On the other hand, the increasing use of motorized vehicles also impacts the higher level of fuel oil consumption needed. Pyrolysis method is one of the ways to use tire waste to be processed into fuel oil.
Pyrolysis process with ingredients waste material from outside tires which has been cut 12x5 cm by 1 kg every single trial. Variation of slope condenser angle using 0⁰, 15⁰, and 30⁰ with heating temperature coming from gas stove is 300⁰C-350⁰C and cooling water discharge is 6 LPM. The reactor tube, condenser smoke flow pipe and condenser tube are isolated with testing takes 100 minutes for 1 kg of tire waste.
The test results showed that the highest oil production at an angle of 30⁰ was 404 ml, the remaining ash was 392 gr, with a heat transfer rate of 1,586.79 Watts. Oil production results at an angle of 15⁰ as much as 382 ml remaining ash 403 gr, with a heat transfer rate of 1,437.42 Watts. While the oil production at an angle of 0⁰ is 374 ml, the remaining ash is 420 gr, with a heat transfer rate of 1,183.35 Watts. Characteristics of waste tire pyrolysis oil after testing found a density value of 0.875 gr / ml, viscosity value of 4.2-4.5 mPa.s, heating value of 10,129.61 Cal / g, and flash point of 55-57 ⁰C.
