This study aims to analyze the effect of transformer oil purification on oil breakdown voltage and evaluate its benefits in maintaining transformer performance and reliability. Oil purification is a crucial preventive maintenance step to preserve insulation quality and prevent operational failures caused by reduced dielectric properties. The study was conducted through several stages, including data collection, oil purification, measurement of breakdown voltage before and after purification, and evaluation of results. Data collection involved measuring the oil’s electrical properties according to SPLN 49-1:1982 and observing results using a Break Down Voltage (BDV) test. Purification of a Trafindo 400 kVA transformer was performed through visual inspection, connecting the inlet and outlet hoses to the purification machine, and circulating the oil until the breakdown voltage met the required standards. Results indicated that the oil breakdown voltage before purification was below standard due to reduced insulation quality caused by water contamination, charcoal particles, thermal degradation, and dissolved gases that weakened dielectric properties. Additional factors such as electrical stress, mechanical stress, and excessive loading also contributed to insulation deterioration. After purification, the oil breakdown voltage increased significantly to meet the standard of >30 kV/2.5 mm, demonstrating that purification effectively restores the oil’s insulating capacity and supports optimal transformer performance. Analysis confirms that the transformer oil remains suitable for use, and routine annual purification is recommended to maintain reliability, efficiency, and operational performance. This study highlights oil purification as an effective preventive measure for transformer stability, extending operational life, and reducing the risk of insulation failure. The findings provide valuable guidance for transformer maintenance in the electricity industry, ensuring safe and optimal long-term operation.

The proliferation of fake news across digital platforms has raised critical concerns about information reliability. A notable example is the viral rumour falsely claiming that the Nigerian Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had collapsed at an event and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital an entirely fabricated claim that caused public confusion. While both traditional machine learning and deep learning approaches have been explored for automated fake news detection, many existing models have been limited to topic-specific datasets and often suffer from overfitting, especially on smaller datasets like ISOT. This study addresses these challenges by proposing a standalone Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) model for fake news classification using the ISOT dataset. Unlike multi-modal frameworks such as the MM-FND model by state-of-the-art model, which achieved 96.3% accuracy, the proposed BiLSTM model achieved superior results with 98.98% accuracy, 98.22% precision, 99.65% recall, and a 98.93% F1-score. The model demonstrated balanced classification across both fake and real news and exhibited strong generalization capabilities. However, training and validation performance plots revealed signs of overfitting after epoch 2, suggesting the need for regularization in future work. This study contributes to the growing body of research on fake news detection by showcasing the efficacy of a focused, sequential deep learning model over more complex architectures, offering a practical, scalable, and robust solution to misinformation detection

This study presents a modal analysis of Pertamina EP Cepu’s closed drain pump 510-P9002, which operates in the condensate–water treatment unit of the Jambaran Tiung Biru field. Field vibration measurements conducted in August 2024 indicated a fundamental frequency of 25 Hz, corresponding to 1×RPM of the driving motor, with maximum amplitudes reaching 13.46 mm/s. Such excessive vibration poses risks of mechanical damage, reduced equipment service life, and potential operational failure. To address this issue, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to examine the dynamic response of the pump, determine its natural frequencies, and identify possible resonance conditions. A CAD model of the pump–vessel assembly was developed, meshed, and analyzed under actual boundary conditions. The results showed several natural frequencies ranging between 23.16 and 26.65 Hz, which are close to the excitation frequency, suggesting a very high likelihood of resonance. Various structural modifications were then evaluated, including a half casing and two types of full casings. Among these, the full casing B design provided additional stiffness in the motor support area; however, none of the modifications effectively reduced vibration within the internal components. Based on these findings, the study recommends the implementation of a dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) tuned to the excitation frequency, along with the redesign of structural components to shift natural frequencies away from operating excitation. These solutions are expected to improve operational stability, extend equipment lifespan, and enhance overall system reliability. The outcomes of this research provide important insights for managing vibration issues in pump systems operating under similar conditions, particularly in the oil and gas industry where continuous, stable operation is critical.
