Community Service (PPM) Lecturer of Chemical Engineering Study Program: “Introduction to Greenhouse Crackers/Kemplang Drying Equipment for Small Entrepreneurs in Jejawi District, Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI)

Crackers/kemplang are well known by the public as snacks or complementary foods. Making various crackers/kemplang does not require special skills so it can be done as a home industry. Jejawi District, OKI Regency, as one of the cracker/kemplang production centers, has a village where some of the people are small entrepreneurs making crackers/kemplang. In producing there are various obstacles or problems that must be faced. The problems that often arise in order to meet the demand for crackers/kemplang include, among other things, inadequate production capacity. In addition to the problem of low production capacity, the production of crackers in micro-enterprises is still carried out conventionally which causes problems with the production of unhygienic crackers/kemplang. Among other things, the low production capacity is due to the fact that the crackers/kemplang still rely on sunlight for drying, so it takes a long time to dry the crackers/kemplang. Even if it rains for several days, the drying of the crackers can fail and the moist crackers/kemplang will grow mold. Based on these problems, it is necessary to design a cracker/kemplang drying system with appropriate technology intended for the home industry.

In order to provide solutions and provide motivation for small cracker/kemplang entrepreneurs, the Chemical Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, PGRI Palembang University, was led by team leader Muhrinsyah Fatimura, S.T., M.T with members: 1. Dr. Ir. Muhammad Bakrie, M.T., 2, Aan Sefentry, S.T., M.T., 3. Rully Masriatini, S.T., M.T., 4. Ir. Agus Wahyudi, M.M., 5. Reno Fitrianti, S.T., M.Sc., 6. Nurlela, S.T., M.T., 7. Husnah, S.T., M.T., 8. Dr. Ian Kurniawan, S.T., M.Eng., IPM., 9. Dr. Nabila, S.T with the theme “Introduction to Greenhouse Crackers/Kemplang Drying Equipment for Small Entrepreneurs” on Wednesday (7/12/2022) carried out Community Service (PPM) in Jejawi District, OKI Regency.

Community Service (PPM) Lecturer of Electrical Engineering Study Program: “Socialization of the Use of Solar Panels as an Alternative Power Source for Water Supply in Rain-fed Rice Fields”, Jejawi Village, Jejawi District, Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI)

Electricity is an important need for humans. Along with the growing human population, the need for electricity is increasing. The State of Indonesia is a country that is bestowed with energy resources that can be obtained from various sources in very large quantities. Indonesia, which is on the track of the equator, will always get 10-12 hours of sunlight per day. With the potential of solar energy as an alternative/renewable energy source, this needs to be maximized. One of the methods used for the provision of electrical energy that is used in bulk is a solar power plant. Meanwhile, small-scale solar power plants can be used for lighting that is cheap and energy efficient and can be used as a source of household electricity such as televisions, lights, radios, fans and so on that have not been reached by PT. PLN (Persero) or other sources of electricity.

One tool that can be used to obtain electrical energy is solar panels. Solar panels are a collection of solar cells arranged in such a way as to be effective in absorbing sunlight. While in charge of absorbing sunlight are solar cells. Solar cells themselves consist of various photovoltaic components or components that can convert light into electricity.

In order to provide better knowledge to the public about solar panels, the Electrical Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Palembang PGRI University, is led by team leader Emidiana, S.T., M.T with members: 1. Ir. Saleh Al Amin, M.T., 2, Abdul Azis, S.T., M.T., 3. Nita Nurdiana, S.T., M.T., 4. Nurse, S.T., M.T., 5. Yudi Irwansi, S.T., M.T., 6. Irine Kartika Pebrianti, S.T., M.T. , with the theme “Socialization of the Use of Solar Panels as an Alternative Source of Electricity for Water Supply in Rain-Fed Rice Fields”, on Saturday (26/11/2022) carried out Community Service (PPM) in Jejawi Village, Jejawi District, OKI Regency. Also present were the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Amiwarti and administrative staff of the electrical engineering study program Yuni Rosiati, S.T.
