PT BMW Indonesia, where the ITB Bandung, give assistance to the Institute for Community Services & Research (LPPM) Bandung Institute of Technology to develop the fuel can be maintained, biodiesel.
Aid was symbolically handed directly by the President Director of PT BMW Indonesia Jörg Kelling to Prof. Dr. Indratmo Sukarno, as well as the head of the vice chancellor LPPM ITB. Comes from ITB Dr. Ir Tatang Hernas Soerawidjaja from the Faculty of Industrial Technology, and Dr. Eng. Iman K. Reksowardojo Laboratory of Motor Fuel and Propulsi, Mechanical Engineering, ITB.
According to Dr. Ir. Tantang Hernas, to conduct research ITB must spend Rp 1 billion per year earned from the government. Assistance is not enough votes to support the research activities at the ITB. Therefore, with the help of BMW Indonesia, she is very happy. Moreover, the research used to support the energy source with terbarukan that has been done since several years ago.
Only a pity, the BMW Indonesia does not want the value of the amount of assistance provided to these LPPM ITB.
"The assistance is still small. But this is the beginning, "said Jörg Kelling. Also described, biodiesel research assistance to help Indonesia develop a diesel fuel in accordance with the standard diesel engine needs at this time. In addition, in an effort to make education about the environment and diesel engine.
Added, BMW actually want to drive diesel plant in Indonesia. But because the standard of quality diesel fuel has not been in accordance with the engine common-rail engine current production BMW, it can not be done at this time.
"One way, the diesel fuel from vegetable materials through higher education institutions. I was happy ITB has developed the biodiesel from materials not for food. Even using other sources and not from material that has been developed for this, such as oil palm seeds and the distance, "beber Jörg Kelling.
Also explained, the diesel engine car consumer interest in various countries. Not only in Europe, also in the United States. Section, in addition to the fuel consumption is economical, and environmentally friendly.
Examplizeed, for diesel engines used on the BMW 320, the next generation common rail kje-3, or CO2 emissions karbondioksida128 g / km. While the fuel consumption of 20.8 km / liter.
The problem, to get fuel in accordance with this latest technology, must have special requirements, for example, a low sulfur content and also the high value cetan.
Candlenut. Meanwhile, Dr. Ir. Tatang Hernas explains, is currently conducting research using plants that are in West Java. For this, the development is done on the Sunan pecan, hazelnut oil and rubber seed. In this case, the selected technology is hidrogenasi.
"We continue to explore various sources of material for biodiesel. Not only on the distance that the seed can be close to the needs of quality standards for diesel engines of today. For example, with the value cetan near 51. However, with the other plant, of course, will be better. In this BASED we do not use for food crops, including palm oil, "he explained.
