Lots of it located at Middle East, Saudi Arabia,
Iran, Iraq
Relatively non-toxic fuel & combustion products
Relatively low explosion hazard

Covalent Bonds and Radicals
Chemical bonds result from a mutual sharing of electrons between atoms,
the shared electrons are in the outermost shell, known as valence electrons

Lewis notation:
Hydrogen Atomic # 1 1 valence electron

Carbon Atomic # 6 4 valence electrons

Oxygen Atomic # 8 6 valence electrons
H
C
O
Atoms like to have electron configuration like noble gas, usually eight valence
electrons, an octet.

Atoms and molecules with unpaired valence electrons are called radicals
e.g. O, H, OH, N, C
Most common hydrocarbon fuels are Alkyl Compounds and are
grouped as:
Paraffins (alkanes): single-bonded, open-chain, saturated (no more
hydrogen can be added)

Coal Applications

Electricity power plants
A. Analisis PROXIMATE
Analisis yg paling sederhana, yaitu dgn memanaskan batu bara dgn cara2
tertentu, untuk memperoleh hasil analisa :
1. MOISTURE, M (water) : dipanaskan pada suhu 104 110
o
C dalam waktu
tertentu. Pengurangan berat dikalikan 100% = M
Surface moisture : moisture karena sumber luar, mis : percikan air,
hujan, kondensasi udara dll
Inherent moisture : moisture yg terikat dg batu bara dimana
menimbulkan kebasahan. Contoh : kadar IM 2 4 % u/ anthracite
& bitiminous
27/03/2013

2. VOLATILE MATTER , VM adl bahan yg mudah menguap : dipanaskan dalam ruang
tertutup pada 950
o
C selama 7 menit. VM terdiri dari Hidrogen, CO, CO
2
,
uap air
3. Kadar abu, A, (ash), caranya membakar sisa batu bara dalam dapur muffler pada
suhu 700 750
o
C.
4. FIXED CARBON, FC : dianggap sb kadar karbon tetap, ditentukan dg mengurangi
sisa M, VM dan A sehingga didapatkan :


Catatan : FC tsb bukan merupakan karbon murni, karena masih mengandung Si, Al, Fe,
Ti, Mg dll. Dan juga tidak mewakili total karbon dari batu bara krn ada C
dikeluarkan sebagai CO, CO2 dll

FC = 100 ( M + VM + A )
A. Analisis ULTIMATE
Analisi ultimate adalah analisa kandungan unsur kimia bahan bakar secara
kimia, terutama unsur-unsur karbon (C), hidrogen (H), oksigen (O) dan sulfur (S).
Dari kedua analisa diatas dapat dibuat suatu hubungan antara analisa ultimate
dengan analisa proximate seperti dibawah ini :
% C = 0,97 + 0,7 ( VM - 0,1A ) M ( 0,6 - 0,01M )
% H = 0,036 FC + 0,086 ( VM - 0,1A ) - 0,0035M
2
%N2 = 2,10 0,020 VM
27/03/2013

Nilai kalor bahan bakar dapat dicari dengan :
1. Pengujian langsung dengan menggunakan CALORIMETER
- Padat & cair : bomb calorimeter
- Gas : gas calorimeter

2. Analisis dengan menggunakan rumus pendekatan yang dikembangkan oleh
DULONG PETIT :

HHV = 8080 C + 3446 ( H O / 8 + 2250 S ) ( kkal / kg bb )


8
O
Catatan : - diperlukan data analisa Ultimate
- Analisa tsb akan valid jika kadar karbon 76% dan kadar oksigen 10 %
- Jika kadar tsb memenuhi maka hasil yang didapat berbeda hanya 2% dari uji

1. 1 B. Hamilton, FAQ: Automotive Gasoline











Coal tar distillates: Late 19th century.
Gasoline from Petroleum: Early 20th century.
Typical mid-1920s gasoline was 40 - 60 Octane.
1950s: compression ratio increase, requiring higher
octane fuels: Leaded was introduced.
1970s: leaded was prohibited.
1970-1990: slow changes in gasoline as lead was
phased-out.
1990 + : the US Clean Air Act started forcing major
compositional changes on gasoline.
These changes will continue into the 21st Century.

The sound of abnormal combustion.













Detonation
Ketika terjadi detonasi, flame front merambat
mendekati kecepatan suara.
Ketika terjadi detonasi, tekanan di dalam ruang
bakar terbentuk dengan cepat, sehingga bisa
merusak mesin dan menimbulkan spark knock
(suara)
27/03/2013
18
Octane
Bahan bakar terbakar dalam ruang bakar dalam
hitungan beberapa millisecond, tetapi
diharapkan sebagai suatu pembakaran yang
terkontrol, bukan sebuah ledakan.
Flame merambat pada kisaran 50 250 m/s.
Octane number : kecenderungan suatu bahan
menahan detonasi/knock pada kondisi operasi
tertentu.
Semakin besar octane number, semakin besar
dia mampu menahan detonasi
Cara mengukur octane number :
normal heptane (n-C

H
16
) = 0
isooctane (C
8
H
18
) = 100
campuran dari dua hydrocarbon diatas
menunjukkan nilai octane suatu bahan bakar.
Mis: campuran dari 10% n-heptane dan 90%
isooctane mempunyai nilai octane = 90.

Octane Number Measurement
Dua methode telah dikembangkan untuk mengukur nilai octane,
dengan sebuah mesin standar satu cylinder dibawah prosedur yang
ditetapkan oleh Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) Committee th. 1931.
Mesin CFR engine yang dipakai adalah 4-langkah dgn 3.25 bore and
4.5 stroke, compression ratio dapat divariasi dari 3 to 30.

Tidak dapat digunakan langsung untuk mesin gasoline yang

Dibutuhkan produk refenery lain sebagai campuran dan
penambahan bahan aditif, serta pengolahan lebih lanjut untuk
meningkatkan ON.
27/03/2013

Fuel Additives
Bahan kimia aditif dapat digunakan untuk menaikan ON gasoline.

antiknock agents paling efektif adalah lead alkyls;
(i) Tetraethyl lead (TEL), (C

(ii) Tetramethyl lead (TML), (CH

Pb di introduce th 1960

Pada th 1959 antiknock manganese compound disebut MMT diintruduce
sebagai supplement TEL

Sekitar 1970 low-lead and unleaded gasoline mulai dipakai akibat isu beracun
yang disebabkan oleh lead alkyls (TEL mengandung 64% berat lead).

Alcohols seperti ethanol dan methanol mempunyai knock resistance tinggi.

Sejak 1970 jenis lain seperti alcohol methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) telah
ditambahkan ke gasoline untuk meningkatkan ON. MTBE dibuat dengan
mereaksikan methanol dan isobutylene.
The aromatics, toluene and xylene amerupakan candidat
antiknock agent masa depan.

Mereka sebenarnya sudah ada di dalam gasoline dan
tidak menimbulkan efek samping yang merugikan.

Organo Silicon Compounds masih terus dikaji dan
dikembangkan

Natural Gas :
1. Low pressure Natural Gas : yang biasanya digunakan langsung untuk
memasak atau memanaskan rumah tangga. Umumnya disalurkan dalam pipa
dalam tanah.
2. CNG ( Compressed Natural Gas ) : adalah gas alam yang di compress
pada tekanan tinggi sehingga bisa di bawa dengan kendaraan misalnya
truck.
3. LNG ( Liquid Natural Gas ) : Gas alam yang di dinginkan sehingga
menjadi cair. LNG lebih padat dari CNG karena berbentuk cair sehingga
lebih mudah diangkut. LNG dibuat dengan proses refrigerasi 260 F.
Pendinginan tersebut akan menghilangkan uap air, butane, propane dan
beberapa gas lain, sehingga komponen utama LNG adalah 98 adalah
methane

LPG ( Liquid Petrolium Gas ) : Gas yang terutama terdiri dari propane
dan beberapa gas lain yang di compress dengan tekanan tinggi ( 200 psi)
sehingga mencair dan disimpan dalam tangki bertekanan.
