EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES TORREFACTION FOR HEMICELLULOCE CONTENT ANDWATER ABSORPTION TEST. Biomass is organic material resulting from the process ofphotosynthesis. Biomass can be produced directly as product or waste from the processing ofagricultural or plantation. Indonesia is a country that produces biomass in very large quantities. Oneof the largest biomass resulting from the proceessing of palm oil is oil palm empty fruit bunches(EFB). Basically, the EFB has a low energy content and easily absorbs water. With higher productionof palm oil, the EFB has potential as a good quality fuel and need early treatment to maintain thequality of the EFB. Torrefaction was one of thermal treatments with process temperature around200-350 ° C in the absence oxygen condition. By torrefaction, the EFB has a high energy content anddecrease the water absorption. With low water absorption, EFB will have benefit in the storage thathas high humidity such as Indonesia. The variables that varied for EFB torrefaction was thetemperature (250-350 ° C) and the holding time (15-60 minutes) to produce the high quality solid fuelfrom EFB. Analysis product in this study was proximate analysis, water absorption, and hemicelluloseand caloric value. The results showed that the higher temperature and longer time torrefaction hadhigher calorific value, the hemicellulose content decreased thereby increasing hydrophobicity. Also,the torrefaction EFB can increase the calorific value around 30%. Keywords: calorific value; empty fruit bunches (EFB); hemicellulose; hydrophobic; torrefaction AbstrakBiomassa merupakan material organik yang dihasilkan dari proses fotosintesis.

The proximate compositions and calculated calorific values of individual and composite samples of canned sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon from fish caught in several localities on the British Columbia coast are compared. The resulting data are also presented in such a way as to allow comparison of the composition and energy content of the various constituents in the can, some of which are frequently discarded in the utilization of canned salmon. The average percentages of the total oil, protein, salt (sodium chloride)-free minerals, and Calories contributed by the different constituents in the samples were respectively: flesh—(sockeye) 62, (pink) 72; 85, 81; 55, 54; 73, 78; skin—(sockeye) 11.2, (pink) 15.3; 3.6, 4.3; 9.8, 6.7; 7.7, 9.0; free aqueous liquor—(sockeye) 0, (pink) 0; 11, 14; 5, 7; 4, 8; free oil—(oil) 26, 10; (Calories) 15, 4; bone—(salt-free minerals) 30.2, 32.6. Corresponding average percentage compositions of composite samples of entire contents were: water—(sockeye) 68.6, (pink) 71.5; oil—8.82, 6.75; protein—20.2, 19.3; salt-free minerals—1.57, 1.57. The average energy contents were (sockeye) 749, (pink) 644 Calories per pound. Comparison with published analyses of canned sockeye and pink salmon from Alaska and Washington indicated that more extensive and detailed sampling will be necessary before conclusions can be drawn regarding the comparative compositions and food values of canned British Columbia salmons, and the relation of these values to those of salmon caught to the north and south.

The enormous quantities of municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in Indian cities has emerged as a serious concern. In order to reduce the negative environmental impacts of MSW accumulation in dumpsites or unsecured landfills across India, various measures have been proposed to facilitate conversion of MSW into a valuable resource. One such measure is the immense potential for utilization of MSW as a source of energy. In this study, a comprehensive estimation of the energy potential of freshly dumped MSW has been conducted at a large unsecured landfill site in Okhla, Delhi, which is the capital city of India. Multiple regression models were developed to predict gross calorific value (GCV) and net calorific value (NCV) of MSW in terms of physical composition, proximate analysis and ultimate analysis of the waste. The developed models were found to give a reasonably good prediction of energy content of freshly dumped MSW in the landfill. Food waste, inerts, textile and paper were found to be the prime constituents of fresh MSW arriving at the landfill site. Based on the statistical analysis, volatile matter content and oxygen content of MSW were found to be non-significant terms in the energy content models derived using proximate analysis and ultimate analysis, respectively. The models developed in this study can be used to predict energy content of MSW at other landfill sites in India under similar climatic conditions and disposal practices.

It is well known that the energy content of fuel is characterized by its calorific value which is usually measured by using a bomb calorimeter. In many analysis, the calorific value is usually related with the proximate analysis results. In this study, the calorific value predicting program based on the proximate analysis data using the fuzzy inference system with Mamdani method has been developed. In our analysis, the proximate analysis data of moisture and volatile matter contents are used as input and the calorific value as output. The results showed that the influence of the moisture content is more dominant in determining the calorific value of fuel than volatile matter content. The performance of the calorific value predicting program also shown that the prediction error is about 0.75% to 5.2%. The obtained calorific value is well reproduced the experimental data.

Abstrak – Biomassa merupakan salah satu energi terbarukan yang sangat mudah ditemui, ramah lingkungan dan cukup ekonomis. Keberadaan biomassa dapat dimaanfaatkan sebagai pengganti bahan bakar fosil, baik itu minyak bumi, gas alam maupun batu bara. Analisi diperlukan sebagai dasar biomassa sebagai energi seperti proksimat dan kalor. Analisis terpenting untuk menilai biomassa sebagai bahan bakar adalah nilai kalori atau higher heating value (HHV). HHV secara eksperimen diukur menggunakan bomb calorimeter, namun pengukuran ini kurang efektif, karena memerlukan waktu serta biaya yang tinggi. Penelitian mengenai prediksi HHV berdasarkan analisis proksimat telah dilakukan sehingga dapat mempermudah dan menghemat biaya yang diperlukan peneliti. Dalam makalah ini dibahas evaluasi persamaan untuk memprediksi HHV berdasarkan analisis proksimat pada biomassa berdasarkan data dari penelitian sebelumnya. Prediksi nilai HHV menggunakan lima persamaan yang dievaluasi dengan 25 data proksimat biomassa dari penelitian sebelumnya, kemudian dibandingkan berdasarkan nilai error untuk mendapatkan prediksi terbaik. Hasil analisis menunjukan, persamaan A terbaik di 7 biomassa, B di 6 biomassa, C di 6 biomassa, D di 5 biomassa dan E di 1 biomassa.Kata kunci: bahan bakar, biomassa, higher heating value, nilai error, proksimat  Abstract – Biomass is a renewable energy that is very easy to find, environmentally friendly, and quite economical. The existence of biomass can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels, both oil, natural gas, and coal. Analyzes are needed as a basis for biomass as energy such as proximate and heat. The most critical analysis to assess biomass as fuel is the calorific value or higher heating value (HHV). HHV is experimentally measured using a bomb calorimeter, but this measurement is less effective because it requires time and high costs. Research on the prediction of HHV based on proximate analysis has been carried out so that it can simplify and save costs needed by researchers. In this paper, the evaluation of equations is discussed to predict HHV based on proximate analysis on biomass-based on data from previous studies. HHV prediction values using five equations were evaluated with 25 proximate biomass data from previous studies, then compared based on error value to get the best predictions. The analysis shows that Equation A predicts best in 7 biomass, B in 6 biomass, C in 6 biomass, D in 5 biomass, and E in 1 biomass.

Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) protein extracted from BSG was hydrolyzed using Alcalase to produce BSG protein hydrolysate. BSG protein hydrolysate was fractionated by ultrafiltration to obtain brown color BSG peptides. Antioxidant activity of BSG peptides was analyzeded and compared with reduced glutathione (GSH). BSG peptides exhibited 50% of scavenging activities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide radical with concentrations less than 0.8 mg/mL, 0.6 mg/mL and 0.6 mg/mL, respectively. The reducing power of BSG peptides was 0.70 at the concentration of 2.00 mg/mL. 86.30% of the total amount of the BSG peptides purified by gel permeation chromatography was below 2000 Da. Because of its antioxidant activity, stability, nutritive value and low cost, BSG peptides exerts a possibility to use in food or cosmetic products.

AbstractTo carry out autothermal drying processes during the composting of biomass, a horizontal tubular reactor was designed and tested. A biodrying tunnel of the total capacity of 240 dm3 was made of plastic material and insulated with polyurethane foam to prevent heat losses. Municipal solid waste and structural plant material were used as the input substrate. As a result of autothermal drying processes, moisture content decreased by 50 % of the initial moisture content of organic waste of about 800 g kg−1. In the tested cycles, high temperatures of biodried waste mass were achieved (54–56°C). An appropriate quantity of air was supplied to maintain a satisfactory level of temperature and moisture removal in the biodried mass and high energy content in the final product. The heat of combustion of dried waste and its calorific value were determined in a calorimeter. Examinations of pyrolysis and gasification of dried waste confirmed their usefulness as biofuel of satisfactory energy content.

Analysis by standard methods of samples of Clupea pallasii from different seasons and localities in British Columbia showed the following ranges in composition: water, 64.2 to 80.2%; oil, 4.1 to 19.4%; protein, 10.1 to 16.8%; ash, 1.9 to 2.8%. Oil content is highest in summer, declines during the fall and winter, and falls to a minimum after spawning time in early spring. There is an accompanying decline in the weight of the fish. Herring are highly variable in calorific value (2.41 to 0.94 Calories per gram). Potential oil yields on reduction as high as 30 gallons per ton are indicated with a minimum of 7 gallons per ton. Average condition factors for samples were determined by averaging the individual condition factors obtained from [Formula: see text], when C is the condition factor, W is weight in grams, L is length in millimetres, and 3.26 is the exponent in the empirically fitted equation W = CLn. This condition factor was found to be positively correlated with oil content and to follow in general the same seasonal trend.
