       In order to obtain the research      process, they expected to achieve a salt  using a refractometer. The experiment
       objective, these students had to learn  solution with no saltiness. To start the  showed that before the pyrolysis

       pyrolysis process is a separation   and created a simple pyrolysis tool,  25 ppt whereas after the pyrolysis
       method based on differences in boiling  using some reusable can and jars to  process, the salinity of the solution was

       the literature study, they found out that  created the salt solution and did the  their salt solution was not salty
       the pyrolysis process enabled them to  pyrolysis process using the tool that  anymore after the pyrolysis process.
       create the saline solution with no salty  they had made before. After that, they

       The next step in their research was  paper, Jason Aldrich designed the
       testing the efficacy of the solution by  poster and banner, while Jonathan
       observing the growth of Streptococcus  Wijaya created the power point
       bacterial colonies on plain bread. The  presentation. Afterwards, the team
       bread was held by dirty hands and after  submitted the project on time and by
       several days they sprayed some with  the grace of God, they passed the
       the salty solution and some with the  selection process. Finally, it was time for
       non-salty solution they created. After  them to prove what they had prepared
       that, they found out that the bread  and studied before. On D-Day, which
       which had been held by dirty hands and  was on Heroes Day, November 10th,
       was not given either solution contained  Charlene Elisabeth, Jason Aldich and
       a lot of Streptococcus bacteria, while
       the bread which had been sprayed with  Jonathan Wijaya went to Grand City Mall
       the salty saline solution contained fewer  for the final presentation. The team

       bacteria, could also be found on the  the competition, the judges announced
       bread that was sprayed with the saline  that they got 2nd place for the scientific
       solution which had been processed with  writing competition. It was the fruit of
       pyrolysis. Thus, the team found that the  their work with the blessing of God that
       salty taste of the salt solution could be  they were able to do all the things in the
