Abstract

The Subsurface coal resources are 43.533 billion tons with total reserves of 173.51 million tons. The Berau Regency area has coal-bearing formations of the bituminous - sub bituminous type, namely the Latih Formation, Labanan Formation, Domaring Formation, Sajau Formation and Sembakung Formation. The research methods used are surface geological mapping, rock sampling and drilling. The analysis used is coal quality and geological structure. The results of analysis of changes in the dip of rock layers caused by geological structures in the form of folds and thrust faults can cause changes in coal quality. The dip of coal seam in the LP 54 outcrop sample is 24º, which has lower coal quality compared to LP 38 that has a seam dip of 65º. The quality of coal in LP 38 seam position N 203º E/65º has a calorific value of 6,393 Kcal/kg, while in LP 54 seam position N 30º E/24º has a calorific value of 4,888 Kcal/kg. At the drill point, location MMA_19-T has better coal quality compared to MMA_18-T and MMA_20-T, this is because the seam in MMA_19-T experienced folding accompanied by faulting with a calorific value of 7326 Kcal/kg.

Abstract

Coal quality is one of the key factors in determining the effectiveness of processing and utilization. Coal quality assessment involves analyzing physical and chemical aspects to determine its characteristics. Coal quality is also influenced by geological conditions at the mining site, which affect the quality and amount of carbon in the coal. To ensure consistency, it is necessary to implement coal quality control based on physical and chemical parameters from the mining process in the pit to storage in the stockpile. Analysis of the effect of total moisture and ash on the calorific value of coal is the purpose of this study. The method used is a ROM (Run of Mine) coal sample located at the stockpile location. The relationship between Total Moisture and the calorific value of coal shows a negative linear correlation where the influence value for a 1% increase in Total Moisture is -71.343 kcal/kg and so is between Ash and the calorific value of coal 1% increase in Ash is -82.588 kcal/kg, which shows a negative linear correlation. Total Moisture increases by 1%, reducing the calorific value of coal by 71 kcal/kg, and increasing Ash content by 1% reduces the calorific value of coal by 83 kcal/kg.
