Tin mining is a major economic sector in Bangka Belitung and has shifted from land-based to offshore operations due to the declining availability of terrestrial reserves. Offshore mining activities using Kapal Keruk (KK), Kapal Isap Produksi (KIP), and Ponton Isap Produksi (PIP) have led to increased sedimentation and changes in water quality, necessitating an evaluation of marine environmental…
The hygroscopicity of biodiesel (B40) is a challenge in the processing of natural resources. This hygroscopicity significantly impacts quality degradation and combustion efficiency. Hygroscopicity is the property of a material to absorb or attract water vapor (humidity) from the surrounding air. Biodiesel contains ester groups (–COO–) that tend to form hydrogen bonds with water. These group…

Oil is one of the most important energy sources for human life. One of the common causes of the decline in oil production is the decrease in pressure in reservoirs, because the primary energy used to lift oil to the surface will be reduced over time. TheHall Plot method is most often used to analyze the performance of an injection well bymaking a curve, between pressures multiplied by a certain…
