Abstract
This study aims to obtain a method of producing liquid smoke as a latex freezing material using a pyrolysis reactor equipped with a counter flow condenser with a cold water cooling medium. The raw materials as local wisdom studied were coconut shells and oil palm shells, abundant in South Sumatra. The condensation process uses a shell and tube type heat exchanger with counter flow. The raw materials were pyrolyzed with time variations of 180, 240 and 300 minutes. The production of liquid smoke with a pyrolysis duration of 300 minutes has the highest yield values of 36,66% and 29,74%, respectively, for the the raw materials of oil palm shell and coconut shell. The average amounts of tar separated from liquid smoke in a settling tank are 8.13% and 8.08%, respectively, for raw materials of oil palm shell and coconut shell.
