Getting to Know the Indramayu PLTU, a Power Plant on the East Side of West Java

Indramayu, January 19, 2020 – The Indramayu PLTU is a steam-powered power plant located in Sumuradem Village, Sukra District, Indramayu Regency, West Java. The power plant managed by a subsidiary of PLN, PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali (PJB) has a total energy capacity of 3×330 megawatts (MW).

 

The energy produced by this power plant is capable of supplying electricity in the Java and Bali regions. Since 10 years ago, the Indramayu PLTU has been known as a national vital object, which supplies electricity to Java and Bali, especially the West Java and DKI Jakarta areas.

The northern side of the Indramayu power plant is directly adjacent to the north coast of Java Island. On the other side, this power plant is surrounded by green rice fields.

In 2019, PLTU Indramayu successfully received the Green Proper award. Proper is a program to assess the performance rating of companies in environmental management developed by the Ministry of Environment (KLH) since 1995. This program is carried out to encourage companies to improve their environmental management.

Green Proper is given to companies that have carried out environmental management beyond that required by KLH.

PLTU Indramayu utilizes the remaining coal combustion results in the form of fly ash and bottom ash to be processed into paving blocks.

"The production is not too big yet, we can produce 500 paving blocks every day. The results of the paving blocks are used for corporate social responsibility activities for residents around the power plant," said General Manager of UBJOM Indramayu, Ubaedi Susanto.

As one of the largest rice producing areas in West Java, PT PJB also continues to support agriculture around PLTU Indramayu by encouraging the community to use organic fertilizers through various training and coaching.

"Previously, people were worried that using organic fertilizer would reduce the results, but it turned out to be the same as using synthetic fertilizer, even though the operational costs of using organic fertilizer are cheaper. Now many people are interested," said Ubaedi.

TRIAL OF USING WOODEN PALLETS AS A MIXTURE OF COAL FUEL

The Indramayu PLTU is also currently conducting a trial of using wooden pallets as a mixture of coal to generate electricity.

Ubaedi explained that every day the Indramayu PLTU requires an average of 4,000 tons of coal per unit, so that the total requirement if 3 units are operating reaches 12,000 tons. By utilizing pallets, it is hoped that coal usage can be reduced.

"Currently it is still in the trial stage. Yesterday we tried mixing 5% of pallets and the results were quite satisfactory," said Ubaedi.

The target of this innovation in using pallets is not only to save the basic cost of provision, but also to become an alternative energy to replace fossil fuels. This innovation can also reduce waste and emissions which are currently still a problem in several areas.

In addition to the Indramayu PLTU, there are 16 PLN power plants that received the Green Proper, namely the Priok PLTGU, Suralaya 1-7 PLTU, Pelabuhan Ratu PLTU, Gunung Salak PLTP, Suralaya 8 PLTU, Paiton 9 PLTU, Tambak Lorok PLTGU, Muara Tawar PLTGU, Rembang PLTU, Gilimanuk PLTG, Perak Grati PLTGU, Pemaron PLTG, Lontar PLTU, Keramasan PLTGU and Labuan PLTU.

Even five PLN power plants managed to get the gold Proper, namely the Tanjung Jati B Steam Power Plant (PLTU), Jepara which is managed directly by PLN, Paiton Unit 1-2 PLTU, Probolinggo and Gresik Gas Steam Power Plant (PLTGU) managed by PJB, as well as Pesanggaran Diesel Gas Power Plant (PLTDG), Denpasar and Kamojang Darajat Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP), Bandung Regency which are managed by IP.

The Gold Proper is the highest award given to companies that have carried out environmental management beyond the requirements and have made efforts to develop the community sustainably.

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...

  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 ...
