    Abstract

    This study aimed to assess the economic and engineering feasibility of a large-scale biodiesel manufacturing operation from edible oil waste. The edible oil model used for economic analysis in this study is palm oil waste. Several economic parameters (i.e., gross profit margin (GPM), payback period (PBP), break-even point (BEP), cumulative net present value (CNPV), profitability index (PI)), and internal rate return (IRR) were examined to inform the potential production of biodiesel from edible oil waste in ideal condition. To confirm the feasibility of a manufacturing project, the project is estimated from ideal to worst-case conditions in production activities such as analysis of changing raw material, labor, tax, utility, and selling price costs. Based on an engineering perspective, the result indicated that biodiesel production from edible and non-edible oil is feasible. From an economic perspective, economic analysis shows that biodiesel production from edible oil waste is promising because the economic parameters as analyzed show positive results. Our findings are expected to provide an industrial-scale picture of economic evaluation and layout, particularly in the production of biodiesel, which is commonly used as a renewable energy source for fuel in trucks, trains, ships, and barges. © 2022, University of Ilorin, Faculty of Engineering and Technology.

    During an interview, the Director of IT Infranet UNIKOM, Berny Indrawan, S.T., M.Kom., who participated in the event, explained that the main purpose of this event was for Google to provide a comprehensive understanding of Google Workspace for Education, a digital ecosystem that is now equipped with AI technology through Gemini and NotebookLM. Google emphasized that the platform is designed to support all activities related to the three pillars of higher education, including the learning process, research, and academic administration.

    Meanwhile, Information Technology Lecturer of UNIKOM Adam Mukharil Bachtiar, S.Kom., M.T., Ph.D., who serves as a guest speaker, explained that the Google workshop discussed the main topics of the benefits and challenges of implementing AI in higher education. He emphasized that the urgency of implementing AI in private universities is not to replace the role of human, but to accelerate and improve the quality of academic and non-academic performance.

    The Google team explained various outstanding features such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sites, Forms, Classroom, Chat, Meet, and full integration with Google Drive, all of which work in a single integrated ecosystem. Specifically for Education Plus users, there is an automatic plagiarism detection feature that integrates the process of checking student assignments in real time.

    The “Academia AI+” workshop presented five main topics: 1) The Benefits and Challenges of AI for Higher Education Institutions. 2) Google AI for Higher Education Institutions: Collaboration, Productivity, Research, and Future Innovation. 3) The implementation of Google AI in the campus environment. 4) Utilization of Interactive Flat Panels as AI-Based Smart Devices. 5) Google Cloud Career Launchpad Program, where each session provides practical insights on the use of AI to support lecturer productivity, simplify the learning process, and provide a more interactive learning experience for students.

    Through these activities, APTISI West Java hopes that all private universities will be more ready to welcome the AI era and be able to utilize technology optimally. Google itself emphasizes that digital transformation is not just an option, but an urgent necessity in facing the increasingly rapid developments in the world of education.

    The “Academia AI+” workshop serves as a collaborative space that brings together higher education stakeholders and global technology providers while strengthening a shared commitment to building an adaptive, modern, and future-oriented education ecosystem. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
