AROMATHERAPY CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES FROM COCONUT SHELL (COCOS NUCIFERA) WITH THE ADDITION OF LOCAL ORANGE PEEL WASTE (CITRUS AMBLYCARPA) AND AGARWOOD POWDER WASTE (AQUILARIA MALACCENSIS) AS AN INNOVATIONS OF WETLAND PRODUCT

Coconut shell aromatherapy charcoal briquettes with the addition of local orange peel powder and agarwood powder is an innovation to develop charcoal briquettes. The purpose of the study was to analyze the proximate test which included moisture content, ash content, volatile matter content, bound carbon content, heating value and density, knowing the best treatment and organoleptic tests. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method was used for 5 treatments x 3 replications with 15 samples. The best water content is found in treatment A (50% coconut shell + 50% agarwood powder) of 5.5067% and meets the ASTM standard, which is a maximum water content of 6%, the best ash content is also found in treatment A (50% coconut shell + 50 % gaharu sawdust) of 3.0600% and all treatments entered the ASTM standard max 8%. The best value for volatile matter content of 54.9700 was obtained in treatment C (50% coconut shell + 30% agarwood powder + 20% local orange peel powder) and for the bound carbon content the best value was found in treatment C worth 34.3933%, all treatment of volatile matter content and bound carbon content did not meet ASTM standards, namely for volatile matter content of 19 sd 28% and 60% bound carbon content. Treatment A showed the best calorific value of 5043.3267 cal/g, but did not meet the ASTM standard of 6500 cal/g. All treatments for density have not been included in the ASTM standard with a standard value of 1 gr/cm3, the best density is in treatment E (50% coconut shell + 50% local orange peel powder). The results of the organoleptic test showed that from 5 respondents who were selected said that treatment A (50% coconut shell + 50% agarwood powder) began to smell aromatherapy at 30 seconds of burning charcoal briquettes with long ignition of briquettes to ashes for 26 minutes
