Abstract

Indonesia is blessed with around 27.510 MWe of geothermal resources. Amongst the numbers, some resources are identified as small-scale geothermal resources. The development of small-scale geothermal resources is quite challenging either to government or private developers due to their low selling price that varies from USD 6.50 cent/kWh to USD 9.76 cent/kWh depending on the location and capacity. The challenges can be multiplied in the case of the electricity produced from a geothermal power plant that located isolated grid, where the electricity is unable to be transmitted to another load areas. Therefore, the electricity production will be limited to only serve the demand in the island that consequently will limit the revenue from electricity sales. This study analyzes the financial aspect of a binary geothermal power plant with gross installed capacity of 5 MW located in isolated island. The analysis shows the power plant will be financially feasible when the electricity selling price is over USD 30 cent/kWh that will generate 12% of IRR which is assumed as feasible target for this project. Furthermore, if environmental benefit is included the project can be feasible at lower selling price of USD 25 cent/kWh.

Abstract

Tofu industrial wastewater contains a high level of chemical oxygen demand (COD), which may cause negative impacts if not treated before being discharged into the environment. Filtration is one of the simple and effective methods for COD removal in tofu industrial wastewater, utilizing filtration media such as sand and activated carbon. The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of spent coffee grounds (SCG) activated carbon and river sand as filtration media in COD removal from tofu industrial wastewater. The research was carried out using a dual media filtration unit composed of SCG activated carbon and river sand, with media thicknesses of 15 cm and 30 cm, respectively. The results show that the combination of SCG activated carbon and river sand as filtration media can reduce the COD level in tofu industrial wastewater from 928 mg/L to 307 mg/L (66.92%), although it still does not meet the quality standard (300 mg/L). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the combination of SCG activated carbon and river sand has the potential to lower COD levels in tofu industrial wastewater, but further improvement is required to enhance its effectiveness.
