Abstract

The energy needs in Indonesia are continuing to increase, however, the production of oil and gas declines.This problem can be minimized by developing alternative energy such as underground coal gasification (UCG) by utilizing deep seated coal at 200 to 1.000 m below surface. The objective of this studyis to evaluate coal characteristic in the basins for UCG purpose depends on several coal properties such as its rank (below bituminous), thickness (5m), depth (up to 200m), and ash content plus total moisture (below 60%). Based on coal analysis of 11 coal basins from previous exploration drilling, there were several coal layers in four selected basins to be applied for the UCG project, namely 7 coal layers in South Sumatra Basin, 7 coal layers in Barito Basin, 2 coal layers inAsam-asam Basin and 5 coal layers in Kutai Basin. Based on the SNI No. 5015-2011, the coal resources was calculated and converted into a gas by a simulation procedure. Total UCG coal in South Sumatera Basin is 801 million tons, meanwhile, the Barito Basin has 436 million tons, Asam-asam 136 million tons, and Kutai 289.7 million tons. The total hypothetical syngas is 8.38 TSCF. The UCG facilities in South Sumatra Basin should be designed to produce the syngas as the natural gas within this area is in deficit condition and the basic cost for electricity supply belongs to low situation, however, the UCG plants in Kalimantan should produce electricity as its cost ratio of electricity is high and this area retains surplus natural gas supply.

Abstract

Numerous empirical equations have been published to correlate the gross calorific value (GCV) of coals with the result of proximate or ultimate analysis, however, many researchers continue to propose new equations. One of the reasons is that many existing equations are likely fitted to coal of one region only. This study is aimed to evaluate the applicability of some existing equations to calculate GCV of Indonesian coal and to develop new equations that more accurate to predict the calorific value of Indonesian coal. Ten (10) new GCV formulas based on proximate analysis data of Indonesian coal were generated using SPSS software. They include three (3) equations with one independent variable, four (4) equations with two independent variables, two (2) equations with three independent variables and one (1) equation with four independent variables. The best equation has the following form: GCV= 25.284 (M) + 30.572 (Ash) + 62.127 (VM) + 138.117 (FC) - 2890.095. The result is in agree with previous work that equation involving four independent variables i.e. moisture (M), ash, volatile matter (VM) and fixed carbon (FC) provides the most accurate estimation of GCV. The new equation when it is used for calculating GCV of Indonesian coals gives more accurate results than that of some existing equations in the literatures.

Abstract

This paper describes a study of the effects of hydrothermal dewatering (HTD) of Jambi, Pendopo and Wahau low rank coals, on additive characteristics. Hydrothermal upgrading and dewatering of the coals were carried out in a batch-type autoclave reactor at temperatures 350°C at a maximum pressure of 30 bar for 30 min. The dried sample resulted from hydrothermal process mixed with liquid fraction tar solvent at 250-350°C with ratio 4:6, was input in the 0,5 l autoclave to conduct hydrogenation process with variation initial hydrogen pressure of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 bar, and reaction temperature of 400°C for 1 hour. The process of hydrothermal treatment before hydrogenation produced a higher calorific value having an average of >8000 cal/g (air dried basic, adb). Ash content and volatile matter for the coal were increased with the increasing initial hydrogen pressure. Corrected hydrogen content steadily increased after hydrothermal process and hydrogenation while the corrected oxygen decreased drastically after the hydrogenation process. Fuel ratio of Jambi, Pendopo and Wahau coals after hydrothermal process also increase reached 1.58, 1.04 and 1.77 respectively. Overall results indicate the impor- tance of introducing a hydrothermal treatment step for the improvement of the coke additive characteristics.

Abstract

Financial analysis of Mulia coal liquefaction plant has been conducted in the year 2002 and up dated in the year 2007. However, the increase of coal price, currently, has promoted coal companies to export their coal rather than to allocate it as raw material for coal liquefaction. To maintain the stability of coal supply in a liquefaction plant, the use of stranded mining coal as raw material for the plant should be studied. This study was aimed to conduct financial analysis of stranded coal from South Sumatera (Pendopo Coal) and to update the financial analysis of Mulia coal liquefaction. Discounted cash flow was used as the method for the analysis. The result indicates that with the oil price higher than US$ 70/bbl and coal price below US$ 25/ton, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of Pendopo coal liquefaction plant achieved value higher than 10%. Reducing corporate tax from 30% to 15% in- creased IRR value of approximately 1%. Meanwhile, by enlarging the plant scale from 3,000t/d to 12,000 t/d will increase the IRR value as much as 5%. On the other hand, the IRR of Mulia coal liquefaction plant was less than 9% when the oil price was lower than US$ 70/bbl and coal price was above US$ 55/ton.
