Abstract

Oil is one type of lubricating oil whose usage is increasing every year. The increase in oil usage automatically leads to an increase in waste generated. Used oil waste falls into the category of hazardous and toxic waste that requires special handling and processing. Used oil waste can be utilized as a valuable energy source with high economic value. The used oil waste to be utilized in this research serves as an energy source for the boiler. This research will consist of three main plant components: the Burner, plasma burner, and boiler. The used oil waste will be used as the primary fuel without any mixture for combustion. The waste oil will be heated in a spiral pipe to reach its boiling point, generating combustible gas steam. This flame energy source will be processed in the plasma burner to increase the flame pressure for boiler combustion. Control of the burner tank will be automated, making it easier for operators to manage the availability of burner fuel. Sensors will read the levels in burner tanks 1 and 2 to control the on-off operation of the oil pump. The values obtained by the sensor will be displayed on an LCD screen and can be monitored remotely using an IoT system. These values will be sent to the operator's smartphone to determine when it's time to refill the waste oil fuel tank.
