Analisis Uji Nyala Biogas Dari Variasi Komposisi Sampah Organik

The problem of environmental pollution caused by waste, especially in urban areas, is a serious issue that requires innovative solutions. Organic waste, especially food waste, is a major component of household waste that can be utilized to produce renewable energy, such as biogas. Biogas is produced through an anaerobic fermentation process that produces methane (CH4) as the main component, as well as carbon dioxide (CO2) and small amounts of other gases. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of utilizing organic waste in the form of food waste as a raw material for biogas, by testing the quality of the flame and the resulting methane content. The method used involves fermenting organic waste in a biogas reactor with controlled temperature, pH, and fermentation time to optimize yield. The resulting biogas is expected to reduce the volume of waste entering landfills (TPA), reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and become an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy alternative. This research is also expected to contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and support the implementation of simple waste processing technologies that are easily adopted in various regions.
