Water Condenser Bed to Reduce Trichloroethylene Gas Emission and Air Quality

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this research is how to reduce trichloroethylene emissions using a condenser and the efficiency of reducing trichloroethylene emissions before and after using a condenser. Theoretical Framework: Air quality is influenced by trichloroethylene emissions, condenser and efficiency, trichloroethylene emissions, and condenser. Method: The research carried out was quantitative descriptive research. Data Source: Literature Study; Field observation; Trichlorethylene gas recovery process in existing systems in the field such as dryer units, carbon bed units and added condenser units. Sampling method with Trichlorethylene, Gas Emission, Concentration Measurement. Results and Discussion: The efficiency value of reducing the trichloroethylene gas emission load before and after adding the condenser reached 68.16%. The emission load on the chimney before adding the condenser was an average of 223 kg/day and after adding the condenser an average of 71 kg/day. Research Implications: The efficiency of reducing the trichloroethylene gas emission load is influenced by several supporting factors, namely the temperature of the condenser cooling water and the surface area of the cooling water tube pipe. Originality/Value: The Electric Accumulator Component Industry with products in the form of sheet-shaped Electric Accumulator Separators made from polymer powder, silica powder, oil, and other supporting materials with the production capacity will affect the formation of the solution.
