| Description |
PT.RPI currently has four diesel-powered generators, each with a power generation capacity of 1.6MW. Normally PT.RPI operates two generators at a time, for an output of about 2.4MW of power. The amount of annual power generation is about 19GWh. The power generated provides all of the electricity used in the plant and the facilities on the grounds, so there is no connection to the power grid, nor any need to purchase power from outside sources for the plant and the facilities on the grounds and also to sale to outside. The equipment introduced under this project will include Biomass power (2.4MW) supplied to the currently existing equipment and facilities, plus the power necessary for running the generators themselves (0.7MW). Consideration has also been given to avoidance of overloads, so the equipment introduced will have a power generation capacity of 4MW. The project plans to use 2,601 tons per month of a mixture consisting of undried offcuts, sawdust, and waste of veneer as fuel. |
