Oyster mushroom baglog waste is one of the agricultural wastes whose quantity continues to increase and may cause environmental problems if it is not properly managed. One alternative utilization of this waste is through a pyrolysis process to produce liquid smoke with functional and economic value. This study aimed to analyze the technical performance and financial feasibility of a pyrolyzer i…
This study aims to evaluate the performance of a pyrolysis device in producing liquid smoke from two types of biomass waste: oyster mushroom baglogs and coconut shells. The pyrolysis process was carried out for eight hours with three variations in material weight (50 kg, 40 kg, and 30 kg) for each type of waste. The observed parameters included pyrolysis temperature, combustion time, pH level, …
Coconut (Cocos nucifera) is a tropical plant commodity with high economic value, because almost all parts of the plant have the potential for commercial use. Oyster mushroom cultivation uses raw materials for making baglogs derived from a mixture of sawdust, rice bran, lime and mushroom seeds. The average productive life of mushroom baglogs is 4 months. After passing the productive life, mushro…
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the distillation process in producing liquid smoke from two types of raw materials: mushroom baglogs and coconut shells, using various volume variations. The parameters analyzed included distillation temperature, liquid smoke pH, processing time, fuel consumption (LPG gas cylinders), and the efficiency of the distillation apparatus. The results …
