Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) are solid waste which is the residue from processing palm oil into crude palm oil (CPO). The high number of OPEFB produced requires proper handling to minimize the negative impact on the surrounding environment. One of the solutions to deal with this is to process OPEFB into bio-oil using fast pyrolysis technology. Before applying the process in the real world, it is necessary to do an economic evaluation first to find out whether the process can be economically profitable. This study aims to carry out an economic evaluation of the bio-oil production process made from OPEFB using fast pyrolysis technology. Aspen Plus was used in this study to carry out process modeling, while the economic evaluation was based on several literatures such as previous books and journals. Based on the results of the economic evaluation, the total capital cost (TCC) required to build this facility is USD 1,152,686 with an operating expenditure (OpEx) of USD 168,107. Then, from the economic indicators in the form of payback period (PBP) and internal rate of return (IRR), this facility takes 4 years to reach PBP with an IRR of 22%.

Abstract

Anti surging is developed for a compressor system consisting of a booster compressor and a high-pressure compressor in a serial circuit. This evaluation presented 6 options of anti-surge systems with variations of the number of Anti Surge Valve (ASV) and its combination with the addition of Hot Gas Bypass Valve (HGBV) and Cold Gas Bypass Valve (CGBV). From the model evaluation, the option that involves a special ASV (dedicated) for each compressor and coupled with a dedicated CGBV or HGBV is the best because the compressor can be back to normal in less than 1 second (maximum time to return to normal condition is 3 seconds. Referring to these options, dedicated ASV for each compressor provides more benefits to the security of compressor operation. However, the most appropriate option in the field will return to the issue of cost or ease of modification. For facilities that are running (brownfield), the use of tools which already exist in the field and do a little modification is the most appropriate option, while for the new facility (grassroots project), the single ASV for a compressor circuit is the most optimum as it only involves minimum equipment and configuration as simple as possible piping/instrumentation.

Abstract

Currently, the utilization of natural gas as an energy source needs to be optimized due to its increasing demand. The utilization of natural gas to produce LNG requires a high-pressure operating system of 1000 psig. The installation of a multistage centrifugal compressor unit is essential to maintain the operating pressure when there is a decrease in the feed gas pressure from natural gas wells. This study aims to predict the performance of the compressor that would be used and optimize the compressor operating conditions to satisfy the specifications of the gas selling pressure. In this study, simulations were conducted on how to maintain the stability of the feed operating pressure in the case of a drop in the gas source pressure from 1000 psig to 200 psig over a period of 15 years. Herein, the gas flow rate under normal conditions is 80 MMSCFD with a gas flow rate variation under surge (minimum) and maximum conditions of 110% × normal flow rate. By using the compressor map prediction curve and Hysys simulation under dynamic conditions, the compressor performance can be analyzed and then used for process requirements in the field.

Abstract

Biodiesel is a cleaner and renewable combustion fuel that globally serves as an effective alternative to fossil diesel. The current application of this biofuel is still restricted to specific concentration due to its poor cold flow properties (CFPs) and low oxidation stability (OS). Later, isomerization process was offered to improve cold flow properties as well as oxidation stability. In this study, palm-biodiesel isomerization was carried out atmospherically using SO4/SnO2 catalyst, prepared via wet nitration method, in the stirred batch reactor at temperature of 200oC, catalyst loading of 10 wt%, stirring speed of 900 rpm, and under N2 flow. The performance of catalyst and the effect of fatty ester isomerization on CFPs and OS were investigated. For comparative study, the effect of bio-additive (turpentine oil and α-terpineol) introduction, at concentrations of 1−10 vol%, on CFPs and OS was also evaluated. The isomerization results demonstrated a conversion ratio of 12.54±0.60%, an isomerization selectivity of 75.92±5.79%, and an overall turnover frequency of 1.75×10−1±8.5×10−3 h−1. This reaction had a small reduction in pour point (ΔPP = ‒1oC), a minor elevation in cloud point (ΔCP = 0.50±0.15oC), and a slight improving effect in OS (ΔOS = 1.36 h). Furthermore, the optimum insertion of bio-additive was α-terpineol at concentration of 5 vol%, demonstrating a more significant enhancement in CFP parameters (ΔPP = ‒1oC; ΔCP = ‒1.75±0.15oC). Nevertheless, it significantly reduced OS level (ΔOS = ‒11 h), although the absolute value (OS = 10.36 h) remains compliant with international standards.
