The utilization of condensate is currently not optimal yet, where most of its production are mixed with crude oil which results in significant shrinkage in oil volume. As a hydrocarbon product, condensate can be utilized as a raw material for petrochemical industry, fuel and solvent. Currently raw materials of petrochemical industry in Indonesia are imported from other countries. To optimize the utilization of condensate it is necessary to conduct a characteristic test of several types of condensate and then conducted a utilization analysis based on their number and its nature. Paraffin, Olefin, Naphthenic and Aromatic (PONA) test results showed that the six samples of condensate in the test had a fairly high paraffin content of above 60%. The highest paraffin content was 82.84% for condensate B and the lowest was 61.4% for condensate E. The six condensate samples contain higher paraffin, which are suitable for use as raw material for petrochemical olefin.The results of the economic calculation of the construction unit Olefin Process Center with a capacity of 100,000 BPSD, which is an IRR as 22.8 %, the NPV as of US $ 1,801,491,951.12 , POT for 4.1 years, and PI as 1.87. Developing of Olefin Process Unit Center being constructed in Indonesia is economical worthy.

This work investigated the recycling of fly ash waste and cullet as the raw materials for lightweight bodies produced by heat treatment and using sodium silicate as the binder. Borax was mixed with fly ash and cullet, and put into the block in dimension 10x10x2 cm3. The lightweight materials thus produced were then sintered at temperature of 800 °C. Density, compressive strength and thermal conductivity were determined. Borax showed a positive sintering effect on the porosity of lightweight material during the heat process. The compressive strength of lightweight material diminished with the reduction of density and thermal conductivity. Lightweight material manufactured with borax showed the lower density and thermal conductivity accompanied by the higher compressive strength. The test results indicated that using fly ash and cullet as the raw material with borax could obtain the lightweight material, thus enhancing the possibility of its reuse in a sustainable way.

With international refining industries facing a number of challenges in the near future, it seems clear that those who survive will be ones with the ability to turn serious problems into real opportunities. In the U.S. refining industry, challenges such as slow growth in product demand, increasing reliance on imported raw materials, and continued exposure to offshore exporting refineries will have critical effects on the ability of the industry to capitalize on available opportunities. Other challenges include the ability to tolerate continued declines in crude oil quality and the serious monetary questions related to compliance with environmental legislation, including air, soil, and water clean-up. This paper presents the challenges which the U.S. refining industry faces over the coming years, and seeks to address those issues which will impact the success or failure of the industry as a whole. The paper begins with a focus on the demand for U.S. petroleum products, encompassing brief historical data and forecasts of demand for the next few years. Closely related to demand is the subject of U.S. refinery operations, including product import and yield patterns. In this vein, the paper offers forecasts of crude runs to stills, as well as forecasts of capacity changes. Because profitability of U.S. refineries is affected by raw material costs, the paper next probes the possibilities resulting from world crude oil price fluctuations, considering the reemergence of Iraq as a market player. Forecasts of profit margins for U.S. refiners in 1998 are also offered. Turning to crude oil supplies and qualities, the paper examines the downward trend of U.S. crude oil production, providing a forecast of the decline by 1998. An associated trend, that of U.S. crude oil imports, is also evaluated, with a discussion of the origins of these imports included. The paper then presents a brief discussion of the principal recipient of Canadian crude oil exports, the U.S. Midwest (PADD II), encompassing statistics for refinery runs and deliveries of crudes. Volumes of Canadian crude exported to the region are also presented, as well as crude oil qualities in the region. Finally, heavy crude oil prices are examined because of the degradation of average crude oil qualities consumed by U.S. refiners. Spreads between light and heavy crudes are contemplated, with a forecast for the current-dollar WTI/Maya price spread provided.

Ball clay quality are derived from within the country is very variety and generally rather difficult to get raw materials as needed. This research used ball clay from the West Kalimantan and West Java area.Ball clay is one of the most important raw materials for the manufacture of fine ceramic. To get the ball clay raw materials in accordance with the standards it is necessary to processing of raw materials. Processing of ball clay in this research conducted by precipitation and filtration magnet. Testing of ball clay raw materials are : test chemical composition by wet methods (SNI. 15-0449-1989) and grain size of raw material (SNI.15-0578-1996). Ball clay that has been processed will be tested with the same method of SNI. Test results before and processed will be compared with a standard of quality ball clay(SNI, NGK, India) for fine ceramic materials. The test results of chemical composition and grain size ball clay raw material showed that samples from west kalimantan qualified for fine ceramic materials and samples from other areas did not meet the standards (SNI, NGK, India). ABSTRAKMutu ballclay yang terdapat di dalam negeri sangat beragam dan umumnya agak sulit mendapatkan bahan baku yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Pada penelitian ini digunakan ball clay yang berasal dari daerah Kalimantan Barat, Jawa Barat dan Jawa Timur. Ball clay merupakan salah satu bahan baku penting untuk pembuatan keramik halus. Untuk mendapatkan bahan baku ball clay sesuai dengan standar maka perlu dilakukan pengolahan bahan baku. Pengolahan ball clay dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara pengendapan dan penyaringan magnet. Pengujian terhadap bahan mentah ball clay meliputi : uji komposisi kimia dengan metode basah (SNI. 15-0449-1989) dan pengujian besar butir (SNI.15-0578-1996). Ball clay yang sudah diolah nantinya akan diuji dengan metode SNI yang sama. Hasil uji sebelum dan terolah akan dibandingkan dengan standar mutu ball clay untuk bahan keramik halus. Hasil uji dari komposisi kimia dan besar butir ball clay bahan mentah menunjukan bahwa sampel dari Kalbar memenuhi syarat untuk bahan keramik halus dan sampel dari daerah lainnya ternyata tidak memenuhi standar (SNI, NGK. India).

Mikania micrantha (mile- a-minute in English) is assessed as one of the six high risks posed IAS in terrestrial ecosystem in Nepal and is as a considered second biggest threat after deforestation to biodiversity conservation. It is becoming pervasive and estimated to have covered over 20% of the Chitwan National Park. A survey was conducted jointly with NTNC, TCN and NAST to establish the estimates of available Mikania biomass raw material. After being cut, it can even regenerate by old rootstocks, runners and suckers. It does not have much use after manual removal. So, using dried biomass for briquetting to get fuel may be an option for its utilization. Different types of briquettes using biomass as well as char were made from its raw materials. Various physical and fuel characteristics of the briquette fuels and combustion tests were performed and studied as an alternative fuel. Different test results show that the use of this weed to produce briquette fuel will generate a potential source of alternative energy and will also help in conserving biodiversity in long run.
