Abstract

Technology to make activated carbon from coal has been developed from laboratory to pilot plant scales with capacity of 1 ton/day. The results of previous experiments showed that the quality of coal activated carbon has complied with the standard of quality activated carbon from coconut shell (SNI). In addition, the result of coal utilization process showed that activated carbon can be used for water purification on hatchery, and waste water treatment in textiles and rubber industries. Although the technology and the quality have been reached, but for the production it still needs economic feasibility analysis. Economic feasibility analysis is necessary for coal- based activated carbon plant at commercial scale by giving an indication about economic value of the project. The indicators used in the analysis are Net Present Value (NPV), Return on Investment (ROI), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Payback Period. Calculation of financial indicators for the activated carbon project produced Rp 49.17 billion NPV, 50% ROI, 68,25% IRR and 1 year 4 months Payback Period. Based on that calculation, it can be concluded that the coal-based activated carbon plant would be economically feasible under certain operational scenarios. This study is expected to become an economic reference material and can attract inves- tors to construct the commercial plant.

Abstract

Coal Water Fuel (CWF) is one of energy diversifications. It enables the coal to substitute fuel oil by existing installations because CWF could flow similar to the flow of liquid. Selections of additive, coal size fraction, ratio coal and water of CWF were studied in laboratory scale. Arutmin coal, processed with Upgraded Brown Coal (UBC) technology, was grouped to -60 and -200 meshes and then are mixed with water and small quantities of additive. Size fraction, coal concentration and additive type were varied to investigate their effects on CWF behavior. Results from concentration and penetration tests show that the best additive for CWF with size fraction - 200 mesh is DBS (Doacely Benzene Sulfanat) with optimum coal concentration is 51% using size - 60 mesh indicate, that the most stable CWF was resulted from CWF using DBS with optimum coal concentration 55 %. Results of using different size fraction that show the decrease of concentration and penetration rate from CWF with size fraction - 200 mesh is relatively constant compared to the CWF with size fraction – 60 mesh.

Abstract

Biomass co-firing is recognised as a crucial technology to aid in the use of fossil fuels, particularly due to its relative ease of implementation. Many studies of the combustion processes associated with co-firing have been conducted elsewhere. This paper discusses the combustion characteristics of coal and torrefied biomasses. Combustion profiles can be used to study certain combustion properties of fuels and fuel blends. The biomass fuels utilized in this study include twig, trunk and weed as the wastes from tea plantation. The results of this work provide data concerning the combustion processes of co-firing determined by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) methods. Simultaneous thermogravimetric & differential scanning calorimetry/differential thermal analysis (STA, TGA-DSC/DTA) measures both the heat flow (DSC) and the weight changes (TG) in a material as a function of temperature or time in a controlled atmosphere. The results indicate that the mixture of coal and torrefied trunk in the weight ratio of coal-trunk of 25:75 shows the best combustion performance compared to other compositions of coal – torrefied biomass.
