Abstract

Selain produksi biodiesel, bioetanol, biometana dan biohidrogen dari sumber terbarukan, gamma-valerolactone (GVL) muncul sebagai bahan bakar terbarukan potensial lainnya yang dapat diproduksi dari biomassa. GVL menunjukkan karakteristik yang sesuai sebagai sumber energi cair berkelanjutan yang menjanjikan. Dlaam kegiatan produksi GVL murni jumlah besar pastinya melibatkan proses pemisahan/ pemurnian, salah satunya adalah distilasi. Dalam perancangan proses distilasi diperlukan data kesetimbangan Uap – Cair (VLE), dan untuk akurasi perancangan biasanya digunakakan software simulasi proses seperti ChemCAD. Dalam penelitian ini, data VLE yang tersedia akan direparamterisasi sehingga bisa digunakan sebagai parameter model thermodinamika di Software ChemCAD. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan reparemeterisasi parameter interaksi biner (BIP) model NRTL untuk data VLE komponen yang terlibat dalam produksi GVL dari literature yang tersedia. Kemudian BIP hasil reparemterisasi digunakan untuk analisis sensitivitas pada shortcut kolom distilasi. Hasil analisis sensitivitas menunjukan bahwa perubahan suhu umpan berpengaruh terhadap konvigurasi kolom, tetapi tidak pada kualitas GVL yang dihasilkan

In addition to producing biodiesel, bioethanol, biomethane, and biohydrogen from renewable sources, gamma- valerolactone (GVL) is emerging as a potential renewable fuel from biomass. As a promising long-term liquid energy source, GVL possesses the necessary characteristics. The production of pure GVL in large quantities involves a separation/purification process, one of which is distillation. In designing the distillation process, Vapor- Liquid equilibrium(VLE) data is needed, and process simulation software such as ChemCAD is usually used for design accuracy. In this study, the available VLE data will be reparameterized to be used as a thermodynamic model parameter in ChemCAD Software. The binary interaction parameter (BIP) NRTL model reparameterization for the VLE data of the components involved in the creation of GVL was carried out in this work using data from the literature. The reparameterized BIP was then applied to the distillation column shortcut for sensitivity analysis. The findings of the sensitivity study reveal that changing the feed temperature changes the column arrangement but not the quality of the GVL produced
