Abstract

English

Energy needs continue to increase, resulting in energy reserves decreasing yearly, especially those made from fossil fuels, which are non-renewable energy, so their availability is limited. Therefore, efforts are needed to find alternative energy sources that can be developed. An energy source that can be produced is biomass. Gamal (Leucanea leucocephala) and Lamtoro (Gliricidia sepium) plants are biomass often used as alternative raw materials for energy, namely biopellets, because they have high calorific value. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of biopellets from L. leucocephala and G. sepium with various compositions and particle sizes. The composition of the L. leucocephala and G. sepium raw materials is 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 with a particle size that is passed 40 mesh retained 60 mesh, passed 60 mesh retained 80 mesh, and passed 80 mesh retained 100 mesh. Quality testing of biopellets based on SNI 8951:2020 includes density, moisture content, fly content, ash content, fixed carbon, and calorific value. The results showed that the biopellets were following SNI 8951:2020, namely the average value of density, moisture content, and ash content, for the parameters of the value of the flying substance content and fixed carbon were not in accordance. Statistics have shown that particle size significantly affects density, ash content, volatile matter, and fixed carbon. The composition affects the moisture content, fixed carbon, volatile matter content, and ash content. The best biopellets were produced in the treatment with 80 mesh particle size and 2:1 composition.

Kebutuhan energi terus meningkat mengakibatkan cadangan energi terus berkurang setiap tahunnya, khususnya yang berbahan dasar fosil ini merupakan energi yang tak terbarukan sehingga ketersediannya terbatas. Oleh karena itu, perlu upaya untuk mencari sumber energi alernatif yang dapat dikembangkan. Sumber energi yang dapat dikembangkan adalah biomassa. Tanaman gamal dan lamtoro merupakan biomassa yang sudah sering digunakan sebagai alternatif bahan baku untuk energi yaitu biopelet karena memiliki nilai kalor yang tinggi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui karakterisik biopelet dari kayu gamal dan lamtoro serta berbagai komposisi dan ukuran partikel yang berbeda. Komposisi campuran bahan baku gamal dan lamtoro adalah 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:0 dan 0:1 dengan ukuran partikel yaitu lolos 40 mesh tertahan 60 mesh, lolos 60 mesh tertahan 80 mesh dan lolos 80 mesh tertahan 100 mesh. Pengujian kualitas biopelet berdasarkan SNI 8951:2020 meliputi: kerapatan, kadar air, kadar zat terbang, kadar abu, karbon tetap dan nilai kalor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa biopelet yang dibuat sesuai dengan SNI 8951:2020 yaitu untuk rata-rata nilai kerapatan, kadar air, dan kadar abu, sedangkan parameter nilai kadar zat terbang dan karbon tetap belum sesuai. Berdasarkan analisis statistika didapatkan bahwa ukuran partikel berpengaruh nyata terhadap kerapatan, kadar abu, zat menguap dan karbon terikat, sedangkan kombinasi berpengaruh terhadap kadar air, karbon tetap, kadar zat menguap dan kadar abu. Biopelet terbaik dihasilkan pada perlakuan ukuran partikel 80 mesh dengan komposisi 2:1.
