The Use of Energy in The Production Process of Hot Mix Asphalt in Asphalt Mixing Plant (AMP)

Asphalt mixing plant (AMP) is a set of tools used to produce hot mix asphalt (HMA) in a location/place. This study is intended to determine the energy use of diesel fuel sets in the production process by measuring the energy use of both types of fuel including fuel consumption and energy, temperature, and the quantity of production from HMA in the AMP. The conclusion of this research is that changes in temperature and length of time of production will affect the use of diesel fuel and energy use, with the longer the production time and the temperature instability to heat the aggregate in the dryer, it will consume huge fuel and energy usage and the results of the calculation analysis were also obtained by producing a HMA weighing 130.640 tons requires consumption of diesel fuel of 1,477.25 liters which is equivalent to the fuel consumption of oil palm shell waste of 6.01 ton and also which is equivalent to energy use of 52,280.99 MJ, for each production of 1 ton of HMA required consumption of diesel fuel of 11.31 liters. Meanwhile, to increase 1°C requires 8.09 liters of diesel fuel consumption which is equivalent to energy use of 290.16 MJ.
