Corrosion Monitoring System On Concrete Using Concrete Resistivity Test Based On The Internet Of Things
Get PDFReinforced concrete, which is currently widely used as the main material for the establishment of a building infrastructure, consists of cement and iron and steel, which have the potential for corrosion by the active and passive layers of concrete. So with the high potential for corrosion that causes cracks to break and the building collapses, it is necessary to monitor the corrosion rate which can be used as a preventive measure for corrosion in concrete structures. Corrosion that occurs is also greatly influenced by the permeability and resistance of the concrete which causes the gaps of other elements to enter the concrete structure and accelerates the corrosion rate of the concrete. This study designed a corrosion Monitoring system in concrete with an IoT-based concrete resistivity test by injecting the concrete through an electric current which can be monitored with the Blynk application according to the area of the concrete
Optimization of Ethylene Glycol Plant Heat Exchanger Network with Non-Catalytic Hydration Process from Ethylene Oxide
Get PDFHeat integration is a method to increase energy efficiency in a series of processes by utilizing the energy potential of other process units, so that Maximum Energy Recovery (MER) will be achieved. One way to perform heat integration is through the design of a heat exchanger network (HEN). The HEN design simulation in this study was carried out in an ethylene glycol plant where in the process there is still a lot of wasted and unused heat. After the HEN simulation was applied, it was found that the heating value decreased by 59% from the existing condition, while the cooling value decreased by 79% from the existing condition. This causes the operation cost for utilities to decrease drastically but increase the capital cost due to the addition of 2 heat exchangers

Agent-Based Simulation Disaster Evacuation Awareness on Night Situation in Aceh
Get PDFIn 2004 at least 230,000 people were victims of the Aceh tsunami disaster. To prevent the recurrence of many victims, the Aceh government held an evacuation exercise in 2008. To improve effectiveness dan reduce the cost reduction during evacuations drills, simulation is the best option. Agent-Based Modeling is a simulation program that was employed for tsunami evacuation in Aceh. This study on tsunami evacuation using agent-based modelling presented and evaluated the different control parameters that affect the evacuation rate. Evacuation scenario during day or night has different environmental, agent base, road modelling, and population approach. The Road Network Model has explained that to analyze the effect of agents in the evacuation process, resident agents are presumed to know the direction and shortest path to the nearest evacuation points. This simulation designed in Netlogo is also able to assess the congestion possibility on the road network. The road network emphasized the different scenarios to discover the possibility of congestion points. Nighttime is proven to be the best scenario for performing the evacuation in the simulation. The key reason to select the night scenario is to maximize the effects of an evaluation of the road network. In addition, simulation using night scenarios is also expected to raise people’s awareness

Design and Construction Pond Temperature Control System and Automatic Nile Tilapia Fish Feeder for Aquaponics
Get PDFExpansion of land for the development of human civilization reduces natural ecosystems. Especially land for agriculture and fisheries in densely populated areas. The more the population, the more food needs. One way to deal with this problem is aquaponic cultivation. Aquaponics is a modern practical farming system that integrates plant cultivation systems with aquatic animal cultivation. In aquaponics cultivation there are factors that need to be considered. One of these success factors is the Temperature and Automatic Feeder in the pond. To get the temperature needed by the fish, temperature control is carried out using the DS18B20 sensor. When the fish pond temperature drops below 28°C, the heater will automatically turn on to raise the pond temperature, and when the pond temperature rises above 32°C, the peltier will turn on and start lowering the pond temperature. Feeding is one of the success factors for aquaponics. If the feed given does not match the weight and age of the fish, the growth of the fish can be disrupted, causing the fish to die. Automatic feeding uses the RTC module as the set time and the servo motor as the opening valve for the fish feed container. Fish were fed at 08.00, 12.00, and 17.00. The average error obtained after validating the DS18B20 sensor is 0.61. The accuracy obtained is 98.05%. The ratio of fish RGR before and after the control system was installed was 7.14% and 11.2 The fish FCR values before and after the control system was installed were 12.50% and 21.07%. The plant growth rates before and after the control system was installed were 22.9% and 33.71%

Development of ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to Maintain Stability of Biogas Fuelled Generator
Get PDFBiogas fueled generator has a unique character because the converter kit on the generator has the characteristic of absorbing the biogas supply. Therefore, in this study, biogas is accommodated in a plastic container equipped with a valve that can adjust the amount of biogas supply pressure. Combustion in the Genset combustion chamber will occur if the ratio of air supply and supply of biogas (AFR = Air to Fuel Ratio) meets the stoichiometric number. So a ratio control is needed on air supply and biogas supply, which can follow changes in biogas conditions in plastic bags and generator loads. For this reason, this paper presents an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that can regulate the ratio of air supply to biogas supply by using a servo motor valve, which is commanded by a control signal from the ECU. The resulting ECU prototype is equipped with a multi-input connector (to receive the signal output of CH4 methane gas sensor and the biogas supply pressure sensor), multi-output (control signal to the servo motor valve), and multi regulators to adjust the Set Point value for the methane gas content CH4, the value of the set point of the biogas supply pressure and to tune the value of the proportional gain control (KP). The results of the ECU performance test by trial and error by giving a dummy input signal (analogy to the signal output of methane gas sensor and the analog of the pressure sensor output signal in the form of an electric voltage generated from the signal generator) can drive the servo motor, valve air supply, and servo motor, valve supply biogas. Accordance with the gain control input from the regulator.
21 Bar Yoshimin Boiler Maintenance with Controlling Residual Phosphate
Get PDFBoiler as the steam generator is usually utilized as a turbine drive and other industrial processes. Boiler needs good treatment and surveillance to keep its best performance. Boiler water (BW) and boiler feed water (BFW) quality control is essential in boiler maintenance since it preserves boiler from crust, corrosion, and carry over, moreover, it also prevents boiler pipe to break. Boiler maintenance in sugar refinery factory is carried out by controlling the quality of BFW, Chemical injection (inner maintenance) and blowdown of boiler water. BFW mineral content (SiO2 , total hardness) is maintained as small as possible using a softener (cation resin) or demineralization unit (cation and anion resin). Chemical injection is performed by the addition of soda in order to control the pH of boiler water. Phosphate addition aims to tie up total hardness level which is caused by concentration process of water boiler and slipped of hard water from BFW. Blowdown process has purpose to reduce crust and corrosion caused by mineral concentrate inside boiler. The experiment was conducted by controlling pH of BFW from 7.5-8.5, maximum total hardness at 3 ppm, maximum SiO2 concentration at 3 ppm and maximum Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) at 100 ppm while BW was controlled its pH at 10.5-11, maximum total hardness at 20 ppm, maximum SiO2 concentration at 50 ppm, maximum Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) at 2000 ppm, and residual phosphate ion between 4 – 10 ppm. The experiment time was adjusted as a milled day or about for 140 days. The result of the experiment showed that the treatment had a good impact on the condition of the boiler drum pipe
