Abstract

The problem of paraffin wax deposition is one of the problems that occurs in the oil industry which causes blockages during the oil production process. To prevent this problem, you can use a chemical method is injecting wax inhibitors. one of the effective wax inhibitors is solvent. So this paper aims to produce bioethanol solvent through biomass engineering, namely pineapple skin waste. For the production of bioethanol through several methods, namely pretreatment, hydrolysis which aims to convert cellulose into glucose with HCl acid, fermentation which aims to convert glucose into bioethanol with the help of saccaromyces cerevisiae yeast and finally distillation. The result in the hydrolysis process with concentrations of HCl 1M, 2M, 3M, 4M and 5M produces glucose 7 Brix, 16 Brix, 20 Brix, 21 Brix and 24 Brix. And with a time variation of 1 hour to 5 hours, glucose continues to increase until it reaches the optimal point at 3 hours of 24 Brix after glucose levels have decreased. The results of fermentation with a variation of 1 day to 6 days found that bioethanol levels continued to increase until the optimum point in fermentation for 3 days was 16% and after that the bioethanol levels decreased. 16% bioethanol is mixed into waxy crude oil with a pour point value of 43°C, and the result is able to reduce the pour point is 2-3°C. To increase the decrease in the pour point of bioethanol, it is blend with a toluene, and the result is to reduce the pour point value by 6-7°C. So it can be concluded that mixing bioethanol and toluene as a solvent can inhibit paraffin wax deposition
