Clove Leaf Oil as Bio-additive for Diesel Fuel for Fishing Boats to Lower Fuel Consumption

Abstract

English

One of the efforts made to reduce exhaust emissions or pollution produced by petroleum-fueled engines is to make the combustion reaction take place perfectly on fishing boats by enriching the oxygen source in the fuel, namely by adding additives with compounds that are rich in oxygen and can be dissolved in the fuel. burn it. One alternative additive that is good and environmentally friendly and has been developed is to use essential oils. The purpose of this study focused on the potential of clove leaf essential oils, namely eugenol, caryophyllene, rhodinol and citronellal as bio-additives in diesel fuel to reduce emissions resulting from the combustion process in fishing boat engines. The bio additive materials used in this study were clove leaf oil and eugenol and caryophyllene compounds contained in clove leaf oil. The emission test results from the addition of clove leaf oil bio-additives reduced CO levels by 30%, NO 36%, SO 12% and total particulates 30%, Eugenol reduced levels of CO 37%, NO 38%, SO 32%, and total particulates 40%, Caryophyllene reduced levels of CO 24%, NO 19%, SO 33% and total particulates 16%. So from the addition of essential oil from clove leaves is an effective solution in saving fuel and reducing emissions.

Bahasa Indonesia

Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan untuk mengurangi emisi gas buang atau polusi yang dihasilkan mesin berbahan bakar minyak bumi dengan membuat reaksi pembakaran berlangsung sempurna pada perahu nelayan dengan memperkaya sumber oksigen pada bahan bakarnya yaitu dengan menambahkan zat aditif dengan senyawa yang kaya oksigen dan dapat larut dalam bahan bakar tersebut. Salah satu alternatif aditif yang baik dan ramah lingkungan dan sudah dikembangkan adalah menggunakan minyak atsiri. Tujuan penelitian ini difokuskan mengenai potensi minyak atsiri daun cengkeh yaitu eugenol, kariofilen, rhodinol dan sitronellal sebagai bioaditif pada bahan bakar solar untuk mengurangi emisi yang dihasilkan dari proses pembakaran pada mesin perahu nelayan. Bahan bioaditif yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah minyak daun cengkeh dan senyawa eugenol dan kariofilen yang terkandung pada minyak daun cengkeh. Hasil pengujian emisi penambahan bioaditif minyak daun cengkeh menurunkan kadar CO 30%, NO 36%, SO 12% dan total partikulat 30%, Eugenol menurunkan kadar CO 37%, NO 38%, SO 32% dan total partikulat 40%, Kariofilen menurunkan kadar CO 24%, NO 19%, SO 33% dan total partikulat 16%. Sehingga dari sini penambahan minyak atsiri dari daun cengkeh sebagai solusi efektif dalam menghemat bahan bakar dan mengurangi emisi.
