The headquarters, managed from Indonesian PT PLN (Lost), feed three turbines and succeed in to burn than 15 million cubic feet more standard to the storage gas day (mmscfd). The addition of the system for storage will return headquarters in a position to following the characteristic cargo peak of the hours evening. The storage system will be connected, through an escape and income channel, to the gas pipeline that feeds headquarters so as to supply an immediate feeding in the moments of demanded maximum being taken advantage of, for the operation, accumulated reserves.
The RINA has explained that I use it of the natural gas for the feeding of an electric power plant with a 300MW power it involves a every day saving on the cost of the fuel of about 130 thousand euros respect to headquarters of pairs fed power to diesel engine and moreover allows to limit the emissions of 254.000 tons of co2, 126,5 tons of SO2 and 2,500 tons of NO2 every year.
"the RINA - it has emphasized Angelo Lo Nigro, general managers Energy Solutions of the Italian company - is one of the leaders in the field of the technologies to Cng and between the little that can boast an only and direct experience in the use of the compressed natural gas in marine field, developing specific norms for ordering of I use it future. Such experience represents a remarkable added value also in the field of the Power Generation". "This - it has specified the Nigro - is not our first project in market Cng. The RINA already was charged by PT PLN (Lost) in order to supply technical assistance for the realization of first marine project Cng to the world, dedicated to the gas transport from Gresik, East Java, to the island of Lombok in Indonesia. The transported gas will serve to guarantee the feeding of a central small during the peaks of energetic question. The contest for the award of contract EPC (Engineering Procurement Construction) is currently in course".
The plan of investments of the Indonesian PLN previews the construction of other systems of storage to support of headquarters of Tambak Lorok and Muara Tawar, always in Indonesia, promuovendo I use it of the natural gas for the energy production.
