Abstract

Abstrak: Pengelolaan limbah kotoran ternak di Desa Tanggulun, Kabupaten Garut, masih belum optimal dan berpotensi menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan, bau tidak sedap, serta gangguan kesehatan masyarakat. Padahal, limbah tersebut memiliki potensi besar sebagai sumber energi terbarukan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan mengimplementasikan sistem kontrol dan kelistrikan pada alat inovatif “ITEFUEL”, yaitu alat pengolah biogas dari kotoran ternak menjadi Bio-CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). Fokus utama kegiatan adalah pemurnian biogas hasil fermentasi anaerob menggunakan metode adsorpsi berbasis zeolit untuk meningkatkan kadar metana (CH₄), serta pengujian kinerja sistem kontrol dan keamanannya. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Living Laboratorium AA Riverside, Garut. Hasil pelaksanaan menunjukkan bahwa sistem kontrol dan kelistrikan ITEFUEL berfungsi secara optimal sesuai rancangan, meliputi proses intake gas, pemurnian, penyimpanan, hingga dispensing Bio-CNG yang terkontrol dan aman. Selain menghasilkan prototipe alat ITEFUEL yang operasional, kegiatan ini juga mencakup sosialisasi dan pelatihan teknis kepada masyarakat, sehingga meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemandirian masyarakat dalam pemanfaatan energi alternatif berbasis limbah ternak.

Abstract: The management of livestock manure waste in Tanggulun Village, Garut Regency, is still suboptimal and has the potential to cause environmental pollution, unpleasant odors, and public health issues. However, this waste has significant potential as a renewable energy source. This community service activity aims to develop and implement a control and electrical system for an innovative device called “ITEFUEL,” which processes biogas from livestock manure into Bio-CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). The activity focuses on purifying biogas produced through anaerobic fermentation using a simple zeolite-based adsorption method to increase methane (CH₄) concentration, as well as testing the performance, safety, and reliability of the control system. The program was conducted at the AA Riverside Living Laboratory in Garut. The results demonstrate that the ITEFUEL control and electrical system operates fully according to the design, successfully managing gas intake, purification, temporary storage, and dispensing processes in a controlled and safe manner. In addition to producing a functional ITEFUEL prototype, the activity included technical training and socialization sessions, which enhanced community knowledge and supported independent utilization of livestock waste–based renewable energy.
