yiaa saya di PPAB HIMATEK 2010 bertugas sebagai anggota divisi Tugas....
yaa kerjaannya udah jelas ya, seperti namanya...kami yang memberi tugas, ngoreksi tugas, ngasih konsekuensi berupa tugas, dll....
capek? jelaasss. Jenuh? Pastii. Setiap hari harus sudah briefing di himpunan jam 5.30. itu artinya saya sudah harus bangun jauh sebelum itu.
tapi rasanya menyenangkan, soalnya anak divisi tugas baik2, asik2, rame2.....kadivnya gila, humoris, dan polem (oow) dan bisa dilempar sepatu setiap saat saya kesal hahahahahaha

Internship: Day 2
Oke hari ini gue diajak sama bu Yus ke Lapangan. Lapangan means pabrik. Gue dibawa ke plant ASP 4. ASP 4 nya sendiri tuh belum jadi, melainkan masih dipasang-pasang, dirakit-rakit dan belum beroperasi sama sekali. Bahkan atapnya aja masih berupa rangka-rangka gitu aja (belum jadi atap beneran). Jadi otomatis belum bisa disebut sebagai plant. Untuk pertama kalinya seumur-umur saya ngeliat kompressor yang gede. Selama ini kompressor yang saya liat gedenya paling cuma selutut lebih dikit, buat kompressor pompa ban mobil punya tukang tambal ban :p
Terus gue ditunjukin yang mana yang nitrogen column, yang mana yang oxygen column, refrigerator (coolbox), compressor, turbin buat ekspansi, molecular sieves, dan beragam valves serta pipa. (eneg dengernya? Well, itu sumber duit saya di masa depan). Saya pun nanya-nanya ke si bu Yus tentang ini itu. Karena sebenarnya pemisahan gas itu baru di pelajarin di sistem utilitas di semester 5 (yang artinya gue belom dapet dan belum ngerti sama sekali, hahaha poor me ), gue jadi nanya banyak banget ke si ibu yus, yang jadi bingung sendiri (entah bingung gara-gara ga tau apa jawabannya atau bingung gara-gara kok ada anak ITB se-bego gue, hahhaha). Akhirnya setelah ngejelasin ini itu, beliau minta gue untuk nanya-nanya lebih lanjut ke bapak-bapak yang ada di sana aja. Siapa takut? *pamerin otot*
Dengan muka badak dan pura-pura polos gue asal nanya aja. Yang awal-awal gue tanya hádala: yang mana tangki nitrogen, yang mana tangki oksigen? Jawaban si bapaknya agak aneh, karena belum di-label-in, belum tau yang mana. Err, bagi saya itu agak absurd. Pas saya tengaktengok spec nya, ternyata kedua kapsul mahabesar itu emang sama persis, dan bisa dipake buat argon, oksigen, dan nitrogen, tergantung nanti dari settingannya. settingan maca mapa? Hem jadi gini *sok enjiner*, kan di dalem kapsul itu sebenernya terdapat evaporator dan heat exchanger. Naahhhh, si evaporator dan heat exchanger itulah yang diatur-atur. Kalo ngatur evaporator misalnya, beda antara nitrogen dan oksigen dalam suhunya (kan suhu oksigen dan nitrogen kalo mendidih kan beda, hehe). Nah si kedua column ini kerjanya paralel, barengan, berdasarkan kesetimbangan fasa (tiba-tiba inget pelajaran termonya pak Herri dimana Ptot = Xa.Pa sat + Xb.Pb sat, Ya = Xa.Pa sat / P tot). Makin bingung? Heah, entar deh penjelasannya dibawah ya *kalo inget*.
Selanjutnya yang gue tanya adalah tentang kenapa molécular sieves ada 2, kenapa ga 1 aja. Udah gitu, meskipun dua, kenapa kerjanya mesti gantian. Otak gamau ruginya gue tiba-tiba mengatakan itu adalah suatu pemborosan. Tapi ternyata saya salah. Huhahahahaa. Tujuan dibuat dua adalah biar absorben didalam molecular sieves itu bisa ada waktu untuk melakukan regenerasi. Nah lo apa itu absorben dan regenerasi? Hem, jadi di dalam kapsul molecular sieve masing-masing terdapat sejenis gel yang terbuat dari alumina. Apa itu alumina? Aduh, gue ga gitu inget, itu pelajaran kinetika katalisis (yang secara ajaib bisa dapet AB), pokonya alumina itu sejenis nikel dicampur-campur dengan yang lainnya. Biasanya alumina adalah bahan yang paling lazim dijadikan penyangga katalis, baru kali ini tau ternyata alumina bisa dijadiin absorben. Warna alumina itu putih kaya pasta gigi deh. Nah gel itu ada di dalam molecular sieve. Gel itulah yang nanti akan berperan untuk menyerap partikel-partikel selain nitrogen dan oksigen, yang dominannya adalah CO2, biar nanti pas masuk ke dalam nitrogen dan oxgen column si pengganggu ini ga merusak flow, hahahaa. Tapi kalo gel itu dipake nonstop, akan terjadi penurunan performa pada absorben, nanti kalau terjdi penurunan performa, bisa-bisa akan ada CO2 yang lolos, dan itu bahaya. Makanya sieve nya harus didiemin dulu (kalo di spec sih selama 3 jam) dan di re-aktivasi gel nya dengan menggunakan waste gas (entah gimana mekanismenya, mungkin gue harus tanya-tanya lagi), baru abis itu performanya bakal balik dan akan dipake seperti biasa.
Trus apa lagi ya yang gue tanya? Hem, abis itu gue Cuma jalan-jalan aja keliling plant, dan akhirnya malah ngobrol sama mandor yang dikontrakin bikini trafo house dan atap untuk plant tsb. Malah ngobrol ngalor ngidul ngomongin suku batak vs komering (ini apa deh hahaha). Itu gue lakukan karena gue ditinggal sendirian di plant sama si Bu Yus. SENDIRIAN, sodara-sodara! Gue yang imut pendek dan gendut ini satu-satunya cewek di plant itu (err gue baru sadar pas nulis ini). Buat ngilangin rasa takut ya udah gue cuek aja sambil nanya-nanya ke bapak mandor yang masih semangat nyeritain tentang sukunya (suku komering)
Gue: pak, pak. Bu Yus mana ya?
Pak mandor: hah? Pak yus? (oke gue maklum, kondisinya berisik, pabrik gitu loch)
Gue: bukan paaak. Tapi BU YUS *kali ini pake teriak*
Pak mandor: ooo bu yus
Gue: kemana ya pak? Tadi sama saya kok skrg gak keliatan?
Pak mandor: wah, udah pulang *sambil nyeruput kopi*
*JEGERR*
Pak mandor: eh tapi ntar balik lagi kok, katanya lagi ke gudang
Gue: pfiuuuhh.
Ga lama kemudian si bu yus dateng dan akhirnya dengan senang hati (karena emang udah kepanasan kepanggang 1 jam) kami pulang ke kantor yang adem

Internship: Day 1
Sejujurnya gue ga gitu ngerti dengan apa yang diajarin disini. Ups,sorry, gue ga diajarin, gue terpaksa belajar sendiri karena emang ga ada yang bisa (dan gue kenal) untuk ditanyain kecuali si Ibu Yus yang hmgga kini hilang entah kemana. Okelah, daripada bengong mending gue nulis aja apa yang udah bisa gue pahami dan mana yang kira-kira harus gue tanyain ke si Ibu Yus (kalau dia sudah menunjukkan batang hidungnya lagi)
Air Separation Process
Produsen: air Liquide Engineering Japan, Co. / Air Liquide Indonesia
General Description of Process
1. Compression of Atmospheric Air
The atmospheric air is compressed by an air compressor (C01) to the minimum service pressure required for operation of the plant. It is then cooled in an after-cooler to room temp. The air is subsequently delivered to a refrigeration unit and molecular sieves unit.
2. Pre purification of feed air
The compressed air is further cooled to near 10ºC by refrigerator (X01). Condensing moisture contained in the air is separated from the air in water separator (V07), because of decreasing the adsorption capacity of the molecular sieves.
Then, the air is fed to molecular sieves unit, which consists of Air Purification Vessel (R01/R02). Carbon dioxide (CO2) and residual moisture in the air is absorbed in one of the towers, while another tower is reactivated with waste gas delivered from the cold box. The changeover of two towers is automatically done every 3 hours.
A part of dry air is fed to the Electrical Reactivation Heater (E08) as seal gas and to each instrument as instrument gas.
3. Production of Nitrogen
The compressed air free of CO2, moisture and other impurities is sent to the Low Temperature Separation Unit. The compressed air is cooled to near its liquefaction temperature in the main heat exchanger (E01) by heat exchange with outgoing product gas and waste gas, and introduced into the nitrogen column (K01).
In this column, the air is separated into pure gaseous nitrogen at the top and liquid rich in oxygen (called “rich liquid”) at the bottom.
Most of gaseous nitrogen is liquefied in the Nitrogen Condenser (E02) located at the top of the nitrogen column by heat exchange with evaporating rich liquid. The liquefied nitrogen is sent back to the nitrogen column as reflux. A part of gaseous nitrogen is withdrawn from the upper section of the Nitrogen Column as product after warming up in the main heat exchanger (E01).
Another part of liquid nitrogen from the upper section of the nitrogen column is withdrawn as product and sent to the storage tank.
The rich liquid in bottom of nitrogen column (K01) is sent to the Nitrogen Condenser (E02). The rich liquid is evaporated in the nitrogen condenser (EO2).
A part of rich liquid in the nitrogen condenser (E02) is purged to atmosphere after evaporating in CnHm Purge Vaporizer (E70) to prevent an accumulation of hydrocarbons in the nitrogen condenser (E02).
Evaporating waste gas is used for reactivation of the air purification vessel (R01/R02). Remain gas is purged out to the atmosphere
4. Production of oxygen
The compressed air is introduced into the Oxygen Column (K40) to reboil the rich liquid at Oxygen Vaporizer (E41). This air is liquefied and sent to Nitrogen Condenser (E02).
The rich liquid is sent to the higher part of an oxygen column, where the rich liquid is separate into high purity liquid oxygen as product and waste gas at the top. Liquid oxygen from the lower section of oxygen vaporizer is withdrawn as product and sent to the storage tank.
Waste gas is warmed up in the main heat exchanger (E01) and used for reactivation of the Air purification vessel (R01/R02). Remain gas is purged out to atmosphere.
5. Supply of cold energy
The coldness inside the cold box is maintained with Air Expansion Turbine (ET01). The compressed air from the air purification vessel (R01/R02) is adiabatically expanded in air expansion turbine (ET01) and lowered the temperature. Low pressure air is used for cooling the feed air in the main heat exchanger (E01) and purged out to atmosphere.
The cold energy required for the operation of the unit is supplied by this cryogenic air.
The Air liquide absorber design includes a double bed of alumina and molecular sieves; this double bed allows regeneration of the absorbent material at lower temperatures than single bed molecular sieve absorber, thereby increasing sieve life.
The cold box is a vacuum insulated type thus optimizing maintenance and layout requirements.
The distillation column and most piping inside the cold box are stainless steel. This ensures long plant lifetime and high corrosion resistance. In addition, stainless steel welding is much easier than aluminum welding should intervention inside the cold box become necessary.

Tadi gue udah nanya sama si Bu Yus tentang kenapa sih di alat itu harus dikasih dulu kompresor, padahal kan kalo entar di kompresi, bisa jadi suhunya naik, padahal nanti di tahap kedua rencananya suhunya mesti diturunin….menurut beliau itu karena volum gas kalau missal ga dikompresi bakal jadinya gede banget. Kalo missal volumnya gede banget artinya tangki yang dibutuhkan bakal gede banget juga, dan vessel yang mau dipake nanti gede juga dong, ga irit di ongkos dan ga efisien tempat juga nanti pas proses ga bias banyak nitrogen dan oksigen yang didapat.

Saya Masih Percaya kalau Saya Alumni TN
Halooo, hari ini baru aja lari di Saraga. 8 putaran, nonstop. humm, sekitar 3,2 km. dan ini berlari loh *don't underestimate me, yeah*
hahahhahaa. coba saya sekuat ini waktu di TN. entah kenapa waktu di TN lari rasanya jadi beban. Skrg kok lari itu justru sejenis refreshing tersendiri buat boosting my mood up! terlalu telat saya menikmati adrenaline effect dari berlari...:)
Nah, kamu bisa berapa putaran? *sok nantang* *evil smirk*
