Abstract

Based on the 2015 annual energy forecast from Indonesia’s Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), if present trends in energy usage continue unaltered, transport fuel consumption in Indonesia will increase on average almost 5% per year through 2050. Currently, liquid fossil fuel accounts for around 35% of Indonesia’s energy demand across all sectors. From various renewable energy and possible alternative fuels to replace the consumption of fossil fuels, biodiesel is projected to have potential to be developed regarding to the simple production process and affordable feed stocks. Biodiesel, as diesel engine fuel alternative, receives more attention among many feasible options. Biodiesel as one of the renewable energies, biodegradable and nontoxic fuel is expected to be one of the solutions. With the affordable feed stocks that can be obtained from various organic source like vegetable oils or animal fats and also the simple production, From the discussion of this Bachelor Thesis, the economic feasibility, necessary equipment and the time of storage of the biodiesel will be analyzed for biodiesel production plant including investment cost of making the biodiesel production plant by calculating the capital cost and the operational cost of a 5000-ton annual capacity of biodiesel. The purpose of this study is to analyze the investment of the biodiesel production facility by using a feasibility study method by using four parameters of economic feasibility study namely Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period (PP), and the Profitability Index (PI) for assessing the Investment. Th result obtained is that the biodiesel production facility with the annual production of 5000 ton of biodiesel is feasible

Abstract

Nowadays, ships are using LNG as main engine fuel because based on the facts that LNG has no sulphur content, and its combustion process, LNG produces low NOx content compared to heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil. LNG is not only produces low gas emission, but may have economic advantages. In the engine laboratory of maritime studies department in Warnemunde, Germany, there is a diesel engine type MAN 6L23/30 A, where the mode operation of these engine would be changed to dual fuel engine mode operation. Therefore, in this thesis, the use dual fuel engine will be compared where it will utilize natural gas and marine diesel oil and select the required components for fuel gas supply system. By conducting the process calculation, engine MAN 6L23/30 A requires the capacity natural gas of 12.908  for 5 days at full load. A concept for LNG supply system would be arranged from storage tank until engine manifold. Germanischer Lloyd and Project Guide of dual fuel engine will be used as a guidelines to develop an optimal design and arrangement which comply with the regulation.
