Abstract

Bioremediation, as a relatively new technology, is expected to be able to remediate the hydrocarbon contaminated soils which are often found in almost all areas of the petroleum industries activities. The bioremediation experiment had been conducted in a laboratory scale. The oil uncontaminated soil and parafinic oil samples are taken from an oil field. The soil is mixed with more than 5% hydrocarbon concentration in order to obtain an artificial oil contaminated soil. Indigenous microorganisms can grow on this oil contaminated soil. During incubation times, microbial cells grow rapidly, then followed by drastic decline of hydrocarbon contents on soils. It indicates that the indigenous microorganisms are capable to degrade petroleum hydrocarbon. On the addition of the organic fertilizer treatment, the highest degradation of hydrocarbon occurs. During four months of treatment, the hydrocarbon content on soil decreases more than 54%.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to find a cost effective nutrient that will stimulate the growth of in-situ microbes in Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI) oil fields to create sufficient biological products to plug high-permeability reservoir thief zones. If successful, injection fluids may be diverted into unswept regions of the reservoir, increasing the sweep efficiency und extending the production life of watered- out oil fields. This paper describes how a wide range of nutrients were researched and tested in the laboratory to achieve the objective. The primary findings of this study show that several primary nutrients were successful at creating bioproducts at high temperature, low salinity, reservoir conditions, and that molasses may be the most cost effective nutrient for all three CPI waterflooded reservoirs tested: Balam South, Bangko, and Minas fields. As a result of this work, laboratory studies were started to see to if the microbial growth created in laboratory test tubes can be recreated within reservoir core plugs to achieve sufficient permeability reduction to justify field trial (s). The core flood process and techniques will be presented in a separate paper.

Abstract

Oil recovery can be increased through the activities of microbes in a process known as Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR). MEOR technology has been implemented in a number of oil producing companies and has proven to have a good prospect, environmentally friendly and low cost. The microbes which proliferate in Indonesian oil fields should be subjected to laboratory identification. Samples of formation water, oil, and soil were taken from various oil fields. These oil fields were selected on account of their reservoir temperatures which promise optimum growth of microbes. In order that MEOR can be applied in these oil fields, the existing microbes in their oil wells were isolated and identified. Based on the results of isolation and identification activities several indigenous bacteria species were obtained from the oil well environment. The potential of each bacteria species for use in MEOR process depends on their ability to live and grow in the reservoir environment as well as the bioproducts produced, such as biosurfactant, bioacid, and biosolvent. The bioproducts produced depend on the inherent capability of the isolate as well as the support of the medium and environmental condition. From the tests of their capability to grow in hydrocarbons, and live in semianaerobic condition, 12 isolates, were selected and some isolates were found to produce such bioproducts. The selected microbes and nutrient have been experimented by using microbial core flooding apparatus. The result has a good prospect for implementation in the oil field.

Abstract

B. stearothermophillus was isolated from among microbes recovered from a formation water from an oil field in Indonesia, where the temperature was 55°C Laboratory experiment was conducted to measure the growth, and to study the effects of its activity on the physical characteristics of reservoir rock and crude oil in an oil well.

Abstract

Nypa palni is the among the few palms that groiv -well in mangroves. The tapping fromfruit of nypa palm that produces the sap is a good substance for alcohol fernientation dueto its high sugar and loiv ash contents. The iniplementation of alcohol fernientation by nypa palm sap -was conducted in labo-ratory scale. The result shows that the sap of nypa palm is a good feedstock for fennentedalcohol. The best yield is obtained by fernientation of feedstock containing 25% starter,4% NPK solution, and 5% bread yeast. The yield of alcohol concentration is about 77%(88% alcohol content) of feedstock

Abstract

Kinerja suatu katalis mempunyai keterbatasan. Selama pemanfaatan berlangsung, secara bertahap akan terjadi penurunan kemampuan kerja katalis. Katalis akan diganti dengan yang baru bila kinerja katalis tidak efektif lagi. Katalis bekas tidak dapat diaktifkan kembali, selanjutnya bahan tersebut berubah fungsi menjadi limbah. Limbah yang berasal dari katalis TA-4 bekas berupa butiran-butiran kecil yang keras dan berwarna hitam. Selama kegiatan kilang berlangsung, secara periodik limbah katalis akan selalu dihasilkan. Dari kegiatan suatu kilang di Pertamina, produksi limbah yang berasal dari katalis TA-4 dapat mencapai 12 ton per tahun. Sebagai limbah hasil kegiatan suatu industri migas, katalis TA-4 bekas tidak boleh langsung dibuang atau dimanfaatkan. Penanganan limbah tersebut, harus mengikuti ketentuan seperti yang tertuang dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia nomor 85 Tahun 1999 (PPRI 85/1999). Penanganan diawali dengan identifikasi limbah, yaitu untuk mengetahui apakah limbah eks katalis TA-4 terdaftar dalam kategori limbah Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun (B3) atau tidak. Kemudian kajian dilanjutkan ke arah karakteristik limbah. Dalam hal ini pengujian limbah secara kimia-fisika diikuti dengan uji biologi. Apabila hasil analisis tidak memenuhi kriteria sebagai limbah B3, maka terhadap limbah katalis tersebut dapat dilakukan penanganan lebih lanjut. Limbah dapat dibuang di suatu lokasi yang terkontrol atau dapat pula dimanfaatkan menjadi produk lain. Dalam kegiatan ini, limbah katalis yang telah memenuhi kriteria untuk dibuang diusahakan untuk tidak langsung dibuang tetapi dikaji pemanfaatannya. Selama masih dapat dimanfaatkan, limbah tersebut perlu dimanfaatkan menjadi produk yang berdaya guna. Sehubungan dengan pendayagunaan limbah bekas katalis TA-4, dicoba mengkaji pemanfaatan limbah tersebut sebagai bahan campuran pembuatan paving block.
