Indonesia’s PLN opens first-ever green hydrogen plant

The plant is capable of producing 51 million tonnes of hydrogen per year.

State-owned energy company PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) launched the first green hydrogen plant (GHP) of Indonesia.

Located in Pluit, Jakarta, over the Muara Karang Steam Gas Power Plant (PLTGU) area, the hydrogen plant is 100% sourced from new and renewable energy (EBT) and could produce 51 million tonnes of hydrogen per year.

Green hydrogen is seen as one of Indonesia’s major initiatives for energy transition to adapt as a major source of energy for transportation and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060.

Deaerator working principle, Types and Process Control

Image
Deaerator working principle, Types and Process Control Source Deaerators is commonly employed in any chemical process industry or in Power Plants wherever boiler is utilized for steam production from boiler feed water. Deaerator solves the aim of removal of unwanted dissolved gases and dissolved oxygen from the boiler feed water before going in boilers. Most of the deaerators are designed in such how that the dissolved oxygen content within the outlet water is regarding7 ppb by WTC. Principle of Dearators Dearator commonly works based on the subsequent principles. Henry’s Law According to Henry’s low is in a liquid the gas solubility is directly proportional to the partial pressure. thus if we tend to decrease the partial pressure of the dissolved gas by adding steam in Deaerator, its solubility decreases and also the gas is faraway from water. Inverse Solubility of Water When the temperature of water is growing, the dissolved oxygen content within the water is decrease...

What is a Boiler? & its types

Image
  Boiler overview What is a Boiler? & its types Source What is Boiler:- A boiler is outlined as “A closed vessel during which water or different liquid is heated, steam or vapor is generated, steam is super heated, or any combination therefrom, besieged or vacuum, to be used external to itself, by the direct application of energy from the combustion of fuels, from electricity or energy ”. A Brief Introduction : Boiler may be a main operating element of thermal power plants. Water is helpful and low-cost medium for transferring heat to a method. once water is warm into steam its volume will increase regarding 1,600 times, manufacturing a force that’s virtually as explosive as bomb. This causes the boiler to be extra ordinarily dangerous instruments and equipment will be treated carefully Liquid once heated to the vaporous state this method is named evaporation. The heating surface is any a part of the boiler; hot gases of combustion square measure on one facet ...
