Abstract

Labuan Bajo is one of the super-priority tourist destinations expected to attract more international tourists to increase foreign exchange. To make this a reality, a combination of programs that support tourism and master plans, including solid waste management, is needed. Private sectors have developed a circular economy to handle the plastic waste. However, this plan is constrained by the high cost of transporting plastic waste to recycling factories. Pyrolysis technology can be an alternative to treat solid waste without transporting it outside Labuan Bajo. A study of pyrolysis technology is needed before it can be applied, including the quantity of liquid fuel produced by the pyrolysis process. This liquid fuel can be utilised to fulfil the community demands, such as the demand for engine fuel. This research aimed to ascertain the potential quantity of liquid fuel produced by the pyrolysis process using plastic waste from Labuan Bajo. The calculation was carried out using two different scenarios: developed predictive theoretical model conversion and installed full-scale pyrolysis plant yield. The potential quantity of liquid fuel produced using the scenarios above is in the range of 3,075–2,763.83 L/day and can potentially supply 3.24–2.91% of Labuan Bajo’s liquid fuel demand.
