Abstract

The karst ecosystem of the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve in Tuban Regency, East Java, plays a vital role as a water reservoir, carbon sink, and biodiversity hub. However, uncontrolled deforestation and human activities have disrupted the ecological balance, threatening the flora and fauna, as well as the local groundwater reserves. This study documents a collaborative restoration program initiated by PT PLN Nusantara Power Unit Pembangkit Tanjung Awar-Awar (UPTA), in partnership with the East Java BBKSDA (National Resources Conservation Agency) and the Tuban Regency Environmental Agency. The program aimed to rehabilitate the karst ecosystem through the planting of 1,000 endemic trees, which are Ficus benjamina and Ficus macrocarpa. These trees were chosen for their high-water absorption capacity and ecological suitability to the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve. We implemented an innovative protection technique called “Ficus in Shield” by constructing cylindrical galvanized sheet metal under the tree trunks. This procedure was implemented to protect the saplings from damage by porcupines. The results show a measurable increase in biodiversity, evidenced by an increase in the Shannon-Wiener Biodiversity Index, and are expected to improve groundwater retention and ecosystem resilience. Beyond the ecological benefits, this initiative emphasizes the importance of public-private collaboration in biodiversity conservation and climate resilience. These findings highlight that endemic-based reforestation, combined with adaptive protection methods, is expected to effectively restore longdegraded karst ecosystems and serve as a model for sustainable conservation both in the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve and elsewhere.

Abstract

In Tuban Regency, East Java, Indonesia, PT PLN Nusantara Power Unit Tanjung Awar-Awar Power Plant was built. There are two 350 MW coal-fired plants in operation. This project was built based on Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No 71 of 2006 dated July 5, 2006 concerning assignment to PT PLN. The company is committed to the environment. They hire a highly skilled team of technicians and engineers to run water treatment plants (WTP). The PT PLN Nusantara Power Unit Tanjung Awar-Awar was able to solve many problems that were caused by the WTP by analyzing data and observing actual conditions. Specially to address concerns such as efficiency, safety, and saving money. A challenge of WTP operation is the limited ability of ion exchange resin (Anion) to remove impure ions from raw water. Hence, PLN introduced an innovative program called "THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 3 IN 1 ANION OPERATION PATTERN". We developed this program because anion beds need to be replaced every so often. The program reduces anion bed component replacement frequency. Due to the WTP's two anion beds, this operating method is possible. The first three days of operation are spent using Anion Bed-A, while Anion Bed-B remains on standby. We're contributing to 1) the anion bed replacement has been cut from once a month to once every three months, 2) significant reductions in waste water pollution load in 2022 of TSS=0,000624 tonnes and CL=0.00000714 tonnes.

Abstract

PT PLN Nusantara Power Unit Pembangkit Tanjung Awar-Awar (UPTA) is a state-owned company that supplies electricity to areas of Java and Bali. Using coal as the main fuel, UPTA currently has two mills that each has capacity of 350 MW in coal-fired mode. Since the last few years, UPTA has been focusing on bringing efficiency into its overall operations, maximizing efforts for an improved output, modernizing machinery, and reducing emissions. After conducting routine inspection and examinations, UPTA decided to improve the air preheating element, so-called air preheater (APH), as an enabling condition to heat both the primary and secondary air to a temperature required for effective combustion in a boiler. To seek for an optimal APH, a redesign project was initiated to primarily change the element profile from a distorted wavy flow path to a linear flow path. The profile surface was coated with an added "enamel" layer, which prevents ash from adhering readily. Our measurements and calculations were based upon the data collected in October 2022 (pre- implementation) and within the periods of February to June 2023 (post-implementation). As a result, the average power consumption was reduced: from over 1740 kWh per month to become around 1377 - 1535 kWh per month, or 11% - 21%, for the induced draft fan (ID Fan) and from over 1900 kWh per month to become around 1450 - 1542 kWh per month, or 19% - 29%, for the primary air fan (PA Fan).
