Abstract
Background: Covid-19 has spread to various countries in the world, one of which is Indonesia.
The positive cases until March 29, 2021, have reached one and a half million cases and still
increasing. GeNose is the latest Covid-19 testing tool that is able to detect the presence of
Covid-19 with a sensitivity level of 89-92% and a specification of 95-96%. The ease of using
GeNose C-19 has increased so that GeNose C-19 plastic waste also increases. If this is not
considered, it will cause a new problem, such as the accumulation of plastic waste caused by
the use of the GeNose C-19 tool.
Method: As solution to handling that problem, we utilize GeNose plastic waste with addition
of HDPE (High Density Poly Ethylene) plastic to produce alternative bio-oil energy products.
The methods used in this research are quantitative and qualitative methods with literature
studies and research, where we collect data from various scientific journal including Garuda
Ristekdikti, SINTA, and Google Scholar using the keywords GeNose waste, Pyrolysis, Plastic
waste. In addition, we use the research process using a pyrolysis reactor.
Result: The resulting liquid from pyrolysis method is in the form of bio oil which can be used
as an alternative energy material. However, the bio oil produced from the pyrolysis process does
not produce high quantitative results. So, we combine with HDPE plastic with a ratio of 1:1
(Co-Pyrolysis) to get better results quantitative or qualitative and also have a better indication.
Conclusion: GeNose plastic waste treatment with the pyrolysis method with the addition of
HDPE raw materials produces bio-oil products in larger quantities. In addition, the pyrolysis of
GeNose plastic waste with the addition of HDPE, has a better and longer fuel power than bio
oil from the pyrolysis of pure GeNose plastic waste.
Keywords: Covid, GeNose, HDPE, Pyrolysis.
