Abstrak: The application of methyl ester sulfonate (MES) surfactant for enhance oil recovery (EOR) was due to its ability to reduce interfacial tension in crude oil-water system that reaches 10-3 dyne/cm. Performance of methyl ester sulfonate (MES) surfactant can be identified with the spinning drop IFT method and phase behavior method. The objectives of this research were to determine of MES surfactant performance with addition of inorganic salt, alcohol, and alkaly in different conditions. The dispersing media used in this research is the formation water and demineralized water. The spinning drop IFT method was conducted using spinning drop tensiometer TX500C tested in 40, 50 and 60 oC. The researched showed that reduction of IFT value was affected by surfactant, inorganic salt, solvent alcohol, and alkali in the formation water and demineralized water dispersion medium. The phase behavior method was conducted using test tube method performance at 50 oC. The best result of phase behavior methode was found in formation water dispersion medium with the 0,3% of methyl esteer sulfonat (MES) addition.

Abstrak: Year by year, the production of petroleum decreases but its demand increases. The world will get the energy crisis if that condition happens continously. The main cause of low production of petroleum in Indonesia is the majority Indonesia’s oil wells being mature field/brown field and the discovery of new oil field in small scale. Indonesia focuses on maximize oil recovery in brown field because its oil production decreases naturally up 15% in total production. In recent years, the field of enhanced oil recovery has grown became more popular due to a combination of stagnant oil production and low recoveries by conventional methods. Many fields use unconventional method like enhanced oil recovery (EOR) which is tertiary oil recovery phase. One way of EOR is chemical flooding which uses surfactant for injection. Surfactant is injected to water and it is known as enhanced waterflooding. Generally, surfactant of petroleum sulfonates is used for oil recovery. This surfactant has many weaknesses such as resistance to water hardness, susceptible detergency to high salinity and being imported with expensive price. Due to these weaknesses, therefore it trigger to get surfactant substitute like MES (methyl ester sulfonates) that is synthesized by biooil. One of biooil is Jatropha oil. The study was aimed to know experimental of surfactant formula for enhanced waterflooding in fluida sample of oil field and synthetic core sandstone. The result showed that injection of surfactant 0,2 PV gave the influence differently to oil recovery. The best condition was surfactant 0,2 PV with the soaking time of 12 hours. This formula gave the highest of incremental total oil recovery 61,07%. The number were resulted from 47,73% waterflooding and 13,34% surfactant injection. Surfactant formula gave the good performance of compatibility, thermal stability, phase behavior and filtration test.

Judul: Psittacosis Sebagai Zoonosis Penting Yang Berasal Dari Burung
Abstrak: Psittacosis atau ornithosis adalah penyakit menular dari burung kepada manusia. Agens penyebab psittacosis termasuk ke dalam virus psittacosis-lymphogranuloma venereum group yang disebut Chlamydia psittaci. C. psittaci hanya dapat berkembang biak di dalam jaringan hidup tetapi peka terhadap antibiotik. Penyebaran penyakit ini sangat luas, terdapat hampir di seluruh dunia. Di Indonesia penyakit ini belum pernah di diagnosa, tetapi mengingat terdapat demikian banyaknya jenis burung maka diperkirakan psittacosis ini sudah ada. Kasus pada manusia pertamakali ditemukan oleh Ritter pada tahun 1879, di Eropa. Waktu itu dikenal sebagai pneumotyphus. Chlamydia psittaci tidak hanya sebagai penyebab infeksi pada burung, juga bisa menyebabkan infeksi pada mamalia diantaranya sapi, kerbau, kambing, domba, babi dan kucing. Pada kucing dikenal sebagai feline pneumonitis. Pada domba atau kambing mengakibatkan enzootic abortion. Pada burung, kalkun merupakan unggas paling rentan diikuti oleh burung psittacine dan burung lain di luar famili psittacidae. Virulensinyapun berbeda-beda. Yang berasal dari kalkun bervirulensi tinggi, sedangkan yang berasal dari burung merpati bisa bervirulensi tinggi bisa juga bervirulensi rendah. Penularan terjadi melalui kontak langsung maupun ti- dak langsung. Penularan melalui telur tidak terjadi. Umumnya penyakit ini memperlihatkan gejala klinis berupa deman, lesu, lemah, anorexia, kurus, diarrhea ber- warna kekuningan, discharge dari mata dan hidung, conjunc- tivitis. Gejala khas pada kalkun adalah istirahat dengan sternum sebagai dasarnya, karena adanya tekanan dari bagian perut yang sakit. Sedangkan pada manusia memperlihatkan adanya demam, kadang-kadang merasa dingin, lesu, sakit kepala yang hebat, sakit pada bagian belakang badan dan photophobia…dst
