Utilization of filter variation and FABA addition in biogas production from palm oil liquid waste to produce electricity

Abstract

Industrial waste processing is the best step to create a healthy environment. Industrial waste has the potential to be used as biogas, one of which is palm oil liquid waste. Biogas is produced from the fermentation process of palm oil liquid waste with other materials such as sawdust and boiler ash assisted by EM4 as an activiator for bacteria in fermentation. The purpose of this research was to get the best data on the electric power of the variations and replications carried out. Biogas converted to electricity with 3 variations with 3 replication. P1 is 50% biogas and 50% LPG gas filtered using a sulfur filter, P2 is 50% biogas and 50% LPG gas filtered using a boiler scale filter, and P3 is 50% biogas and 50% LPG gas filtered using a combination filter of sulfur and boiler scale. The fermentation process produces biogas of 70,519.167 cm3 at 21 days. The highest average electricity is 242 watts at a sulfur filter, 176 watts at a sulfur and boiler cale filters, and 168,776 watts at a boiler scale filter.
