Abstractthe world has the same problem to reduce emissions. Based the problem, many technologies invented to reduce the Emission. One of them is EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). EGR is the most simpleNOx reduction by circulating potion of exhaust gas return into the combustion chamber. EGR system is often known by the name the hot EGR where exhaust gas circulation process without cooling system. This new Hot EGR system is designed by the addition of cooling system with air-cooled type. So that the circulating of exhaust gas to be cooled in advance in such that the mass of air increases.This research aims to study the performance and a reduction in NOX of diesel engine with EGR using addition of air cooling system. The experiments were used on diesel engine Yanmar TF 85-MHDI.

New alternative fuels are needed to reduce the fossil fuels. Biodiesel from palm oil is one alternative fuel to replace fossil fuel. This is because Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world. There are several analyzes that the use of palm oil causes a significant decrease in the viscosity of lubricating oil. A research is carried out to evaluate the effect of B30 biodiesel from palm oil on the degradation of diesel engine lubricating oil. The method used is experiment with testing diesel engines endurance referring to the standards of the Engine Manufacture Association (EMA) to determine differences in lubrication degradation. As a result, B30 biodiesel from palm oil causes greater degradation in lubricating oil than using Dexlite diesel fuel. Biodiesel B30 causes lubricating oil to decrease its viscosity by 46.98%, increase the viscosity index by 7.84%, increase in the flash point, increase in the pour point some 3°C and decrease in the base number by 4.62% and 3.6026% less water content.

During the long dry season hit most parts of East Java in 2019, there were 566 villages in 180 sub-districts that are categorized as dry areas with critical clean water supply, 236 villages in 93 sub-districts as rare dry areas, and 20 villages in 14 sub-districts experienced limited dryness. In big cities in Indonesia, clean water service coverage has only reached 64.3%, while in rural areas still at 69.4%. This proves that most of the regions in Indonesia still experiencing a clean water crisis. Therefore, alternative clean water processing technology is needed to help supply clean water in these areas. Desalination as one of the technologies is essential for coastal areas that are remote from freshwater resources. In this paper, authors propose a design of photovoltaic reverse osmosis (PVRO) desalination plant at remote coastal area to supply clean water. A 100 m3/day design of PVRO, which is compact and energy efficient including the ultrafiltration method is introduced.
