Implementation of Life Cycle Assessment on Green Tea Process at Pt Pagilaran - Factory Samigaluh

Abstract

Life Cycle Assesment is a method to assess environmental aspects and potential effects which are connected with product, process or service. This method is conducted by using compilation and data analysis on input and output of production system, evaluation of environmental potential effects, intrepretating on data compilation and analysis, and assessment results on effects due to the goal of LCA. The research was conducted at PT. Pagilaran – Samigaluh and aimed to implement LCA on tea product. It was done by direct observation on all process steps, from harvesting tea leaves until tranportation to final storage at manufacturing. The results showed that for producing one kilogram green tea at this factory it was needed energy 68,534.14KJ and released emmissions from fuel were 56.53 g CO2;7,07 g HC; 2,12 g NOx, and 0.053 g Pb. Emmission from processing steps were 18.37 ppmCO2; 321.31 ppm CO; 22.75 ppm HC; 93.08 ppm NOx; 15.17 ppm SOx and 0.12 g ash. Furthermore for transporting tea leaves some gases were released as follow 15.36 g CO;9.66 g HC; 65.46 g; NOx; 5.20 g SOx and 2.198 g ash. Keywords: Green Tea; Energy; LCA; Emissions

Implementation of life cycle analysis on green tea process

“…The outcomes affirmed the reasonableness of the product for the underlying screening of natural effects utilizing the LCA strategy. Utilizing the program requires exact information on the connection between every unit interaction and as a source of perspective diary done by Supartono [ 15 ] were utilized. There is no likelihood of getting the specific measure of the gases produced by the agrarian farm vehicles while leading every proper activity.…”

“…Pagilaran at Samigaluh, Indonesia. This ranch was picked for this contextual investigation since it zeroed in on the development of green tea [ 15 ]. Given the circumstances, the tea manor was 200 ha, creating 5000 kg tea leaves daily.…”
