Abstract

This research focuses on the production of fuel from rubber dung by pyrolysis. The objective is to study the effect of 3 temperature levels, 300, 350 and 400°C, on the yield and properties of fuel. Then, the fuel was tested in a 10.5 HP single-cylinder diesel engine to determine the engine performance. The research results found that the pyrolysis temperature of 300°C had the highest fuel yield of 70 wt%. While the pyrolysis temperature of 400°C had the lowest fuel yield of 49 wt%. When analyzing the properties of the fuel, it was found that the fuel obtained from the pyrolysis temperature of 300°C had the highest heat value of 39.1 MJ/kg. High density, low viscosity and the lowest ash content of 0.6 wt%. While the fuel obtained from the pyrolysis temperature of 400°C has the lowest heating value of 32 MJ/kg, the highest density, high viscosity and the highest ash content of 1.6 wt%. The test of the fuel in the engine found that the fuel at 300°C has the highest brake horsepower of 10.1 HP and the lowest specific brake consumption rate of 1.0 kg/kWh. The fuel at 400°C, the engine has reduced brake horsepower and increased fuel consumption rate. Therefore, it can be concluded that the pyrolysis temperature of 300°C is suitable to produce fuel from rubber dung by pyrolysis. This research should be further developed to expand the results to practical applications.
