| Summary: | Asphalt is petroleum processed as petroleum feedstock which is good for the
manufacture of asphalt is petroleum which contains asphalt (asphaltene) and
contains little paraffin.In general, the use of asphalt is produced by artificial asphalt
PT.Pertamina.The reduction in raw material (crude oil) and production costs tend to
be expensive to make an excuse to produce bitumen from other raw materials are
cheaper and more efficient. The idea arose from the existence of an idea to make the
bitumen from oil palm shell raw material called bio asphalt.
The initial process begins with the manufacture of bio-asphalt pyrolysis
process to get the tar and oil palm shell liquid smoke.After the results obtained from
the pyrolysis process, is the process of distillation to vaporize the liquid smoke and
get the residue (bio asphalt). Bio asphalt that has been obtained is then mixed with
bitumen oil from Pertamina. Bio bitumen asphalt mixing the oil is 1% - 10% of the
weight of asphalt oil to be tested. Tests performed include: penetration testing
asphalt, asphalt density testing, testing softening point, and ductility testing, and
testing to see how mixing marshall maximum bio bitumen asphalt into oil, and
marshall testing to determine the optimum bitumen content (OBC) her.
The conclusion is that the results of maximal mixing between oil and bitumen
bioaspal that meets the requirements of the 99% oil and 1% asphalt bioaspal with
value OBC (Optimum Asphalt Content) of 6.5%.Deformation of testing strength
values obtained DS: 6.02 MPa, while the minimum requirement is 4 MPa, thus
concluded that the samples meet the requirements
