Foreign companies are doing the design of sewage treatment in the city of Samarinda, East Kalimantan. According to the plan's garbage will be processed into fuel oil (BBM) of gasoline and diesel.
Head of Department Cleaning and Landscaping Samarinda in Samarinda Marwansyah, explains, the exposure was carried out by the company, but for the agreement has not been done because it is still carried out a feasibility study.
"If in this feasibility study there is a match, and Samarinda viable waste processing plant was built into the fuel, we then carried out the cooperative agreement, by both parties," he said, as reported by Reuters, Thursday, July 1, 2010.
Marwansyah said the current production of waste generated from Samarinda residents an average of 1,200 cubic meters per day. Of this type, it will be sorted dry waste and wet waste, because that can be processed into fuel is a waste of plastic.
Plastic waste is often a problem as long as in major cities. Besides can not decompose and unmanageable, this type of waste can also pollute the soil. It took hundreds of years to make biodegradable plastic waste.
Even if biodegradable plastic, but plastic particles will actually poison the soil. Meanwhile, if the plastic burned, it will produce fumes that are harmful to human breathing.
In Korea, plastic waste is processed into diesel and gasoline. For processing, of 23 tons of plastic waste that can produce 30 thousand liters of diesel.
Way in which to produce fuel from plastic is plastic waste processed and heated to a temperature of 450 degrees centigrade. Heating using a tool called Recycle Oil Machine.
From the results of heating oil is obtained in the form of 60 percent diesel and 40 percent gasoline. When used for motor fuel gasoline type, yet good quality of processed plastics. But solarnya much better quality. Even in Korea have been used for vehicles.
According Marwansyah, processing of plastic waste into oil is one good solution in the city of Samarinda, the article had been such a huge waste production makes its own problems for the environment.
"From 1200 waste was potentially produce about 10 thousand liters of fuel after sorted. The potential is certainly encouraging. We hope that this plan can be realized so that local communities can also become empowered workforce," he said again.
