Abstract :
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh rasio tandan kosong kelapa sawit dan palm oil mill effluent
terhadap mutu biobriket yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4
taraf perlakuan perbandingan komposisi tandan kosong kelapa sawit dan palm oil mill effluent yaitu 80% : 20%, 75% :
25%, 70% : 30%, dan 65% : 35%. Biobriket tandan kosong kelapa sawit dan palm oil mill effluent pada penelitian ini
menghasilkan mutu biobriket terbaik didapatkan perlakuan pada rasio 80% TKKS : 20% POME yang menghasilkan
biobriket dengan kadar air 7,19%, kadar abu 7,33%, dan zat mudah menguap 14,67%.
Kata Kunci : Biobriket, tandan kosong kelapa sawit, limbah cair kelapa sawit, mutu biobriket
Abstract - This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of empty palm oil bunches and palm oil mill effluent on the
quality of the resulting biobriquettes. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatment levels, the
comparison of the composition of empty palm oil bunches and palm oil mill effluent, namely 80% : 20%, 75% : 25%, 70%
: 30%, and 65% : 35% . Biobriquettes of empty palm oil bunches and palm oil mill effluent in this study produced the best
quality biobriquettes obtained at a ratio of 80% EFB: 20% POME which produced biobriquettes with a moisture content
of 7.19%, ash content of 7.33%, and volatile matter 14.67%.
