Oil Spill has resulted in severe impact on marine ecosystem as oil spill can have toxicological effects which when consumed, can affect the human respiratory system. Also, the oil and gas industry has had to deal with a massive amount of waste water as a by-product of the exploration of oil and gas. Methods which are used to purify water from petroleum and oil products are: mechanical, physicochemical, chemical and biochemical. Adsorption is a very effective and easily interpreted physicochemical method. In our study, we have highlighted the benefits and procedure of removing oil from seawater using coconut shell powder which is a natural and easily available adsorbent. UV Spectroscopy has been performed to support the feasibility of coconut shell powder as our agent of adsorption. We studied the effect of bed height with respect to removal efficiency analytically. The removal efficiency increases with increase in bed height. Correlation between the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and adsorption equilibrium data was done and it was found that adsorption equilibrium data was better than the Langmuir model eventually in our experiment.

Drilling activity in deep formation usually gave greater challenges to the engineer due to its high pressure and temperature. To minimize this problem, drilling mud needs to be modified into a certain condition where it should be performed well in those extreme situations. The drilling mud quality does not significantly decrease, it simply requires better quality of mud at certain points at high temperatures. Certain additives are needed to maintain their performance. Therefore, this study aims to improve the quality of drilling mud by adding additives from carbon powder originating from coconut shells. Coconut shells are burned and processed until they become nanometer-sized, then used as additives in drilling mud. Then, several analyses such as XRD, SEM, as well as the rheology of drilling mud are evaluated. XRD analysis result shows the element from the coconut shell powder was graphite. Laboratory analysis results indicate that drilling mud with coconut shell powder provides better rheological value compared to the same drilling mud without the additives. It was observed that the mud with coconut shell powder performed better at high pressure.

Coconut shell is one of agricultural wastes that having low commercial value. This research is objected to use coconut shell as the base material of producing surfactant. The use of coconut shell is basically due to its content of lignin, about 29,4%. The objective of this research is to obtain isolate lignin with increasing chatalis NaOH and H2SO4 with lignin identification, the effect of temperature and agitation rate of producing surfactant. The research was done in a reactor with temperature of 100 0C, 110 0C, 120 0C, 3 hours reaction time, pH 6, 80 rpm, 90 rpm, 100 rpm agitation rate, and coconut shell as the base material. Dry coconut shell is grinded and the powder is collected to be reacted. The coconut shell powder is reacted with sodium bisulfite solution with variation in ratio of 1:0,5.  The product is filtered to get filtrate and residue. The filtrate is further analyzed by using the FT-IR spectrophotometry method. From the research we get maximum purity of surfactant at sodium bisulfite with reactant ratio of 1:0,5;  Speed 100 rpm and temperature 120 0C.
