Abstract

The oil and gas industry produces not only crude oil but also hazardous and toxic waste that poses significant environmental risks. Liquid waste generated during drilling operations is separated from oil and gas through advanced separator technology. Sludge produced water is solid waste in the form of sludge produced from the removal of suspended solid waste produced by water. The use of solar energy for drying purposes has long been known and is referred to as direct (passive) drying. Direct drying is the simplest and most cost-effective drying process; however, upon closer examination, it requires a longer time and yields poor quality results. This research aims to perform solar collector performance calculations for drying flocculated sludge and obtain a solar collector design that is able to accelerate the drying rate of flocculated sludge. In this research, there are several stages, starting from theoretical data collection, then modeling the solar collector, and calculating the thermal performance of the solar collector for drying flocculated sludge. The variations used is velocity of air, thickness of glass cover, material absorber plate using iron plate and aluminium plate, and condiitons of absorber plate, the absorber plate is painted and unpainted. Based on this research, the highest efficiency of Solar Collector for drying Flocculated Sludge at an air velocity of 0.6 m/s is 24.20% when using steel as the absorber plate material painted black, along with 3mm thick glass, and The drying time for flocculated sludge with a maximum capacity of 100 kg is 2.14 hours when using steel as the absorber plate material painted black and 3mm thick glass. Based on these results, the recommended design for the best solar collector in this study is a Solar Collector using a variation of absorber plates that use iron material and are painted and use glass with a thickness of 3mm.
