Japanese firm JFE Engineering Corporation has started works on a waste heat recovery power generation project for PT. Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk., the leading state-own company and the largest cement company in Indonesia.
JFE Engineering has also been entrusted to carry out the feasibility study of the Joint Credit Mechanism (JCM) by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MOEJ) on the project, the firm said in a statement.
The system, mainly consisting of boilers, a steam turbine and a generator, shall be designed and manufactured by JFE Engineering and shall be installed by the local contractors in Semen Indonesia?s Tuban plant in East Java. The commissioning of the plant is scheduled to be at the end of 2014.
The system can generate 28MW of electric power efficiently utilizing the unused waste heat from the cement production process.
?This is the second installation of the system in Indonesia after PT. Semen Padang and the both of them shall be supplied by JFE Engineering. This installation shall be added to the JFE?s abundant track record in Taiwan, China, Europe and Canada In addition to this rich experience, the system has been appreciated by the Indonesia customer for its high efficiency and the flexibility accommodating the wide range of waste gas temperatures from approximately 200 to 400 deg-C,? CEO Sumiyuki Kishimoto said.
JFE Engineering has already launched the feasibility study ?FY 2013 Joint Credit Mechanism Demonstration Project Feasibility Study? entrusted by the MOEJ in this July on this project. Joint Credit Mechanism (JCM) enables Japan to realize Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction through the projects utilizing the low carbon technologies in order to achieve Japans emission reduction target. Indonesia and Japan has signed the bilateral document on JCM on Aug. 26, 2013.
Waste heat recovery power generation system is drastically reducing GHG for it generates the power with only waste heat. The system in this project is expected to reduce some 130,000CO2-tons with full load operation. Upon award as a ?FY 2014 Demonstration Project?, the project shall be supported by the MOEJ in the form of subsidy
JFE Engineering Corporation and PT. Semen Indonesia, on Oct. 23, has reached an agreement on ?Strategic Collaboration Agreement? in the environmental activity field. This will allow the expansion of the cooperation not only on waste heat recovery but also on waste management to in Indonesia and in Vietnam where the cement plants of PT. Semen Indonesia locate through the new collaboration, JFE Engineering will accelerate business activities in the developing countries with its cutting-edge technologies in the environmental field.
