Alternative energy for electricity

Alternative energy for electricity

From Bisnis Indonesia

The high world oil price will certainly raise the cost of power production by state electricity company (PLN), whose cost components are 25 percent composed of fuel oil.

Therefore, PLN should adopt a new policy to replace fuel in its power production with any of the other alternatives available in Indonesia. In 1989, I handled a research project on alternative energy production technology.

This technology is specially designed to change organic waste into heat and solid fuel within a short time, which can be operated throughout the year.

The reactor used for this purpose is effective for processing waste from the industries of palm oil, coconuts, sago, cane sugar, paddy, corn, saw dust, household garbage and peat.

The heat produced by the reactor reaches 1,000 degrees centigrade and can be utilized to turn out high pressure steam for power generating turbines and steam power plants.

Active carbon is the reactor's main product, which is most needed by the industries of food/beverages, drinking water, pharmacy, chemistry, petrochemistry, gas, rubber, metallurgy, military, electronics, mining and industrial waste filters.
