The pyrolysis process of plastic waste produces fuel, which results from the burning of waste into

condensed gas. But in general, the composition of pyrolysis liquid products may be different,
depending on the composition of the raw material and its process parameters (Yuliansyah et al.,
2015).

Polystyrene, also identified as PS, is one of the most widely used plastics across all
industries and is produced in huge volumes. It is because of this that it is usually offered at a
lower price point than many other plastics. General purpose polystyrene is clear, hard, and
brittle and as a thermoplastic polymer it is in a solid glassy state. Polystyrene offers some
resistance to acids and bases but it is not as resistant against some chemicals as
polypropylene

Fuel derived from pyrolysis is very similar to crude oil, and therefore cannot be directly used as fuel or other sources of energy,
given that it must meet certain standard specifications to ensure the performance of the combustion engine. Plastic pyrolysis
products are considered to be sources of hydrocarbons from petroleum in the form of naphtha products. As a result, the fuel
characteristics of these products are modified to standard fuel products. It therefore needs to be refined, and this research made use
of the distillation bubble cap plate column in doing so. As a result, a wide range of fuels obtained is expected to be used on an
engine, in accordance with the characterisation of the fuel oil.
The characterisation or specifications for standard fuels have been established by ASTM/IP or instrument tools that conform to
ASTM standards.

The physical properties of oil, such as specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, gross
heating value, flash point, and water content, were evaluated and compared to those of other
commercial fuels.

Pirolisis disebut juga dengan destilasi kering karena proses penguraian disebabkan oleh pemanasan dan
tanpa adanya kehadiran udara. Menurut Pranata (2008), pada proses pirolisis dihasilkan tiga macam
penggolongan produk yaitu :
a. Gas-gas yang dikeluarkan pada proses karbonisasi sebagian besar berupa gas CO2 dan sebagian lagi
berupa gas-gas yang mudah terbakar seperti CO,CH4, H2 dan hidrokarbon tingkat rendah lain.
b. Destilat berupa asap cair dan tar.
c. Residu (karbon) dalam bahan berbeda-beda tergantung jenis bahan yang digunakan.

Setelah mendapatkan produk berupa crude oil, hasil product tersebut didestilasi terlebih dahulu

sebelum analisa. Produk cair yang didapat kemudian akan dianalisa densitas, total nitrogen/total sulfur (TNTS),
kemudian bilangan fionanya menggunakan GC-DHA. Setelah didapatkan hasilnya, kemudian dibandingkan
dengan
Sampel Temperatur RON PIONA (GC DHA)
