The competition was organized by the 麻豆直播 Bioenergy and Chemurgical Engineering Student Association, with the theme 鈥�Unlocking Indonesia鈥檚 Potential: Innovating with Chemurgy for a Sustainable Future鈥�.

The Buncis Team鈥檚 motivation to participate in the competition came from a simple desire to spend their free time with productive activities while expanding their knowledge beyond each member鈥檚 discipline. Their interest in the topics of bioenergy and chemurgy, along with a drive to build interdepartmental connections, were the key motivations that united them as a team.

The Buncis Team鈥檚 initial strategy was to gain a deep understanding of the problem given. They focused on identifying the most critical root cause and then designing a primary solution that was both technically and economically feasible. This solution was reinforced with relevant literature and a comparative analysis between the previous system and their proposed design.

From this strategy, The Buncis Team proposed an innovative solution they deemed most relevant, effective, and highly implementable. The innovative solution proposed was the utilization of local Crude Palm Oil (CPO) as raw material for producing reagents for the mining industry. These reagents were designed to improve the quality of Indonesian coal. They aimed to encourage the use of renewable local raw materials. 鈥淲e focused on solutions that are technically and economically feasible for the industry,鈥� said Andina.

The Buncis Team鈥檚 strength lay in their focused and measured approach. They ensured that their proposed solution was technically and economically viable, supported by scientific journal references and comparative analyses with previous systems. Furthermore, they prepared a concise, clear, and easy-to-understand presentation, and regularly practiced Q&A sessions to confidently face the judges.

The main challenge they encountered was time constraints due to differences in academic departments and enrollment years, which led to mismatched schedules. Other than that, the topic of the business case was not a field specifically studied by all team members. Nevertheless, they overcame this by efficient task division and a commitment to learn together.

To other students aspiring to join similar competitions, The Buncis Team advised thoroughly understanding the given case study, finding valid supporting data, and developing solutions with mature technical and economic considerations. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to delve into the case, find relevant facts, and create a detailed solution from literature review, implementation, and economic analysis. Prepare everything as best as you can,鈥� said Andina.
