extracting methane

Extracting methane gas from household waste

To extract the methane gas from household waste is easy to explain, but not that easy to do. First, put household wastes into the warming bed. In the warming bed, the waste will be separated into two parts, some of it will become fertilizer, while the others continue to next procedure, the dirt trap. Dirt trap filters components that flows from the warming bed through a pipe. It also have a release cap on it's bottom, so whenever the dirt trapped in the trap is full, you should open it's cap so the dirt won't overflooding it. After being dirt-filtered, components are heading to the gas indicator. In there, those components are reacted with water so the methane is separated from it's 'carrier' (the household waste components), and it also become bubbles which tell us how much methane we can get. After get extracted, the methane gas flows through the pipe, heading to the gas holder and ready for use. But in the way there, it have to pass two more systems to control it's pressure. First system is the pressure release, it excess gas when pressure is high, so it's basic function is to reduce the gas pressure. The other one is inner tubes, it works like a pump, so when you give weight on top of it, it will increase the gas pressure. after passing those procedures, you can get the extracted methane by pushing the tap at the end of gas holder.

DEFINITION PARAGRAPH
Sate is basically cut-up barbecued meat on a stick. Sate from Madura has a slight distinction from sate from other sate, which is its sauce, a mixture of nuts and sweet soya sauce. That gives a mixture of a sweet and salty taste. The meat on Madurese sate are usually thin and small. Each consists of 3-5 pieces of meat. The meat is cooked until its color is dark brown, so you can be sure that it is finely cooked. Sate is usually eaten with rice or lontong (stuffed rice in a roughly cylindrical form). This makes Madurese sate favourable to many people because of its practicality, and also because of its delicious taste.


PROCESS PARAGRAPH
The source of water in a house comes from one main source. That main source distributes cold water throughout the house. On the first floor, is directly distributed to the sink. On the second floor, it is distributed either directly to the toilet, wash basin, and bath, or to the cold water tank for storage. From the cold water tank, the water goes to the hot water tank, where it is heated. From the hot water tank, the water is distributed to the sink on the first floor, or the wash basin, and bath on the second floor.

Sewage Disposal Unit

Sewage Disposal Unit is an easy way to waste the sewage, but not to pollute the river. This unit consists of settling tank, pump house, and sprinkler beds. First, polluted water flows through main sewer to settling tank. Here, sewage is stayed for a while to separate solids material from liquid through settling. When all of the undecayed solids are settled in the bottom of the tank, it has to be taken and then be removed and burned. Meanwhile, the liquid or polluted water is kept flow to the pump house. This house pumps polluted water to the sprinkler beds. Next in sprinkler beds, this water flows up through T-shaped pipe. Then the horizontal part of this pipe is rotated and it sprays jets of this water into a filter. This filter made of stones and microorganisms, so it can make water less polluted by removing organic material in the polluted water. The last step is purified water flows through pipe into a river.

Here goes the explanations for the picture above. First, the house is receiving cold water from the main source (the water supplier) by an underground hydraulic pipes. Then it distribute the cold water directly to the sink at the first floor, blocked by a water tap, standby for dish-washing use. Along with that, the water also flows to the second floor, supplying cold water for the bath (with a watertap), wash basin (with a watertap either), and for toilet's flush in the bathroom. It also 'climb' to the rooftop, where the cold water tank is. From the cold water tank, the water is transferred to the hot water tank to increase it's temperature. Then, the 'temperature-increased-by-the-tank' water (hot water) is distributed directly to the sink on the first floor (blocked by another watertap), and also to the bath and the wash basin in the second floor's bathroom (the two are blocked by another watertaps too).

HOME WATER PIPELINING PROCESS

The water that usually used in our house is distributed through a simple pipelining process. Firstly, the water which coming from the underground pumped out by the water pump into the main pipe. Then the cold water stream from the main pipe branched into two secondary pipes. The first secondary pipe flows the cold water directly into the sink which usually located in the kitchen. Then the other secondary pipe branched again into two pipes which the first directly distributes the cold water to the toilet, wash basin, and bath in the bathroom. While the other branch of the secondary pipe flows the cold water into cold water tank which located in the top part of the house, then it flows into the hot water tank which can heat the cold water into hot water. Then from the the hot water tank, the hot water distributed to sink in the kitchen and also bath and wash basin in the bathroom. So the hot water and the cold water could be enjoyed easily.

Batagor

Task 1

Bandung has many kinds of delicious foods. One of them is batagor. Batagor is made from special dough containing fish. We put the dough with tofu (we call it tofu) or with wonton wrap (we call it “siomay”). Then both the tofu and “siomay” is fried in hot cooking oil. We can eat them in two ways.

Task 2

How does the water reach the crane?

Water in our house is originally located in the deep of the soil surface. It’s about 10 – 25 meters depth. The water can reach the surface and then being used by people is because of the water pump. When the water reaches the surface, then it flows through pipes into many cranes in the house. The water is used by people to do many activities like washing clothes, cleaning dishes, and shower. When people need hot water, they need water heater. When the cold water from the pump reaches the surface, then it flows through the pipe into the water heater. At the water heater, the cold water is boiled by some kind of stove. After the boiling process, the hot water flows again to the crane. Then the hot water is used by people to do their activities.

Task 3

Pasupati -- New Icon of Bandung


Finally, Bandung has its second highway after Kiara Condong Highway named Pasupati Highway – and it become an icon too. This highway was first built in 1999 and finished in 2005 (open for public in June 25th 2005) although the plan was first issued in 1931. By structure, Pasupati consist of two parts – the highway and the bridge. The highway starts from the end of Djundjunan Road until Cihampelas Road. From Cihampelas section until Tamansari, Pasupati is supported by the cable-stayed bridge. The bridge crosses over the Tamansari valley where Cikapundung River flows. It consists of 5 steel cables at east side and 9 cables at west side. This asymmetrical design looks like an arch and also kecapi-suling, the traditional musical instruments of Sundanese culture. After Tamansari section, the highway continues until Surapati road. The total length of Pasupati is about 2,5 km, which is included 300 m of the cable stayed bridge.

The House’s Water Supply Process

Cold water was supplied from main pipe in the basement of the house and pumped to several pipes connected to the water outlets. Pipe at the first floor supplied water to the sink while pipes at the second floor supplied the toilet, wash basin, and also bath tub. Main pipe at the second floor also supplies the cold water tank located in the roof top. The cold water tank will supplies water to the hot water tank – where cold water is heated. Then the hot water tank supplies water to bath tub, wash basin, and also the sink on the first floor.

TASK 3

TASK 1 : DEFINITION PARAGRAPH

Palembang -my hometown- has a unique food called “pempek”. Pempek is a kind of fish cake. It is made from flour, fish and other ingredients that filled inside it. Usually, the ingredient that filled inside it is egg, but the other ingredients like shrimps, vegetables, or even papaya can be filled inside pempek too. Usually, pempek is served with a kind of sauce. The sauce is called “cuka”. Cuka is a black or brown liquid sauce and the taste is a kind of hot mixed with sweet. There are two kind of cuka depends on the ethnic that made it. The first is the common cuka that made by Indonesian people. The taste is so hot and not too sweet. The other kind is cuka that made by Chinese breed people. This kind of cuka has a very sweet and delicious taste. Some people say that the delicious and sweet taste is caused by the “arak” (a kind of wine) that the Chinese breed people usually mixed with their cuka.

TASK 2 : PROCESS PARAGRAPH

The water distribution in the house is quite simple. First, water reaches the house through the big main pipe from the water supplier called PDAM. When the water reaches the house, it is still cold. Then, the pipe from the water supplier branched out to three main destinations. The first destination is the sink that located on the fist floor. The second destination is the bathroom’s stuffs like bath, wash basin, and toilet that located on the second floor. The last destination is the cold water tank that connected to the hot water tank. In the hot water tank, the cold water from the cold water tank will be warmed. When the water is warm enough, the water will be distributed to the bath, wash basin, and sink.

Definition and Process Paragraph

Angklung is the most popular musical instrument in Bandung. Angklung has been well-known in Bandung since 1955. Angklung is a musical instrument made out of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved so that they have a resonant pitch when struck. To play an angklung, we must held the frame is with one hand while the other hand shakes the instrument rapidly from side to side. This causes a rapidly repeating note to sound. An angklung only has one note. Because of that, to play a music, we need more than one angklung. Some angklungs which play together will complete melodies and make very beautiful music. Angklung not only popular in Indonesia, but also in Southeast Asia.

In our house, we can use hot and cold water everyday. The cold water come from ground and pumped to the house. In the house, cold water is distributed to the sink at first floor and to the bath, wash basin and toilet at the second foor. The other cold water is distributed to the cold water tank at the top of house. Thus is the process of cold water supply. For hot water supply, cold water from from cold water tank is distributed to the hot water tank at second floor. In hot water tank, cold water is changed to be hot water. The hot water is distributed to the bath, wash basin at second floor and to the sink at first floor. Because there are hot and cold water at bath, wash basin and sink, we can mix them to get warm water.

Task 3

Back in my hometown we have this delicacy known as Taukua He Ci. Taukua is a word in Hokkian dialect for tofu, whereas he ci refers to prawns mixed in some sort of flour-dough and deep-fried. However, although it is called taukua he ci, the food itself consists of more than just tofu and fried prawn. First we have the tofu, —the kind of tofu with thick yellow skin and soft-white filling— which is simply cooked. Next the deep-fried prawn. It’s sort of like rempeyek, only that prawns are used instead of peanuts. Then the meat, which is a mixture of pork and some chopped vegetable, which is then rolled up and also deep-fried, then chopped to smaller portions. Boiled vegetables were added, usually kangkung (water spinach, or also known as swamp cabbage). Then the tofu, he ci, meat, and vegetables were put together in a plate and a thick red sauce is poured. The sauce consists of pineapple juice (and a reasonable amount of red colouring, of course), which gives it the sweet-sour taste.



One of the many advantages of living in a modern age is its practical water system; turn on the tap and we got either hot or cold water. For example this two-storeyed house in the picture. Water from the water company is pumped to a water tank at the top of the house, then from there the water is distributed thoroughout the house: to the bathroom on the first floor and to the kitchen on the ground floor. Most houses (like this one in the picture) have hot water tank for hot water supplies. Water from the tank flowed down to the hot water tank on the first floor to be heated, and from that tank the heated-water is distributed to the bath and wash-basin in the bathroom, and to the sink in the kitchen.

Laksamana Mengamuk

If you visit Pekanbaru for the first time you will find that it is very hot at the daylight. Then, you search for a restaurant to have a fresh drink to cool down your body. In the menu offered, you will find a strange drink menu: Laksamana Mengamuk which means “raging admiral” in English. Laksamana Mengamuk, however, is one of the Riau’s traditional drinks. Actually it is not as strange as its name. It is just a kind of icy drink made up from kuini (a type of strongly odorous mango) mixed up with santan, milk, and sugar palm. It’s quite not clear why it is named so. Yet, from the story I’ve got, in the past time this drink was added chili, so the drinker would rage because of the hotly spiced. I think it is not a genius idea to add such chili into the drink. You shouldn’t be worry to drink it because nowadays the drink, of course, doesn’t contain any chili anymore. I recommend you to try it since it is very fresh and delicious.

Task 2 : Process Paragraph

Water Distribution at Home

Cold and hot water distribution within the house is a simple process. Cold water from the mains can be distributed by pumping it directly to parts of house that need cold water such as toilet, bath, and wash basin. The rest of cold water then is stored at cold water tank n the top of the house. It also can be distributes again within the house. Some of water may be sent to hot water tank and experiences heating up to desired temperature. Then the hot water now can be distributed to parts of house that also need hot water such as bath, wash basin, and sink.
