Abstract

Penyimpanan biodiesel B-50 di bawah kondisi terkendali memainkan peran penting dalam menjaga kualitasnya dan memastikan kinerja mesin yang optimal. Penelitian ini menyelidiki efek pengondisian biodiesel B-50 dengan menggunakan silika gel pada tingkat kelembaban 30% selama periode 8 minggu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode pengondisian ini memiliki dampak terhadap jumlah bakteri yang bisa diminalisir pertumbuhannya sampai dengan 42%. Sedangkan untuk nilai asam biodiesel tidak begitu berpengaruh besar. Namun justru pada nilai iodin, penggunaan silica gel bisa menyebabkan penurunan yang signifikan. Apabila dilihat dari segi performa. Proses pengondisian mengurangi penurunan torsi hingga 5,31%. Selain itu, output daya mesin menunjukkan penurunan hanya sebesar 0,14% ketika menggunakan biodiesel B-50 yang telah dikondisikan. Selain itu, konsumsi bahan bakar spesifik (specific fuel oil consumption/SFOC) mengalami pengurangan hingga 42%. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pengondisian biodiesel B-50 dengan silika gel pada tingkat kelembaban 30% secara efektif menjaga kualitasnya dan mengurangi penurunan kinerja mesin. Penelitian ini berkontribusi untuk meningkatkan pemahaman tentang pentingnya kondisi penyimpanan yang tepat bagi biodiesel, serta memberikan wawasan berharga bagi industri biodiesel dan produsen mesin. Studi lebih lanjut disarankan untuk mengeksplorasi efek jangka panjang metode pengondisian ini terhadap kualitas biodiesel dan kinerja mesin.

The storage of biodiesel B-50 under controlled conditions plays a crucial role in maintaining its quality and ensuring optimal engine performance. This study investigated the effects of conditioning biodiesel B-50 using silica gel at a humidity level of 30% over an 8-week period. The results showed that this conditioning method had an impact on bacterial growth, reducing it by up to 42%. However, it had less significant effects on the acid value of the biodiesel. Interestingly, the use of silica gel resulted in a significant decrease in the iodin value. In terms of performance, the conditioning process reduced torque degradation by up to 5.31%. Additionally, the power output of the engine showed a decrease of only 0.14% when using conditioned biodiesel B-50. Moreover, the specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) exhibited a reduction of up to 42%. These findings demonstrate that conditioning biodiesel B-50 with silica gel at a humidity level of 30% effectively preserves its quality and mitigates the decline in engine performance. This research contributes to improving the understanding of the importance of proper storage conditions for biodiesel and provides valuable insights for the biodiesel industry and engine manufacturers alike. Further studies are recommended to explore the long-term effects of this conditioning method on biodiesel quality and engine performance.
