- Abstract
PT. Gree Energy Hamparan has revolutionized the use of tapioca wastewater, transforming it into biogas, which is then converted into fuel for power generation. Collaborating with PT. Hamparan Bumi Mas Abadi, the tapioca factory that produces the wastewater, and PT. PLN as the recipient of electrical energy, the company has encountered factors hindering the operation of the biogas power plant, resulting in its low effectiveness in meeting the installed and contract capacity with PT. PLN. This case study identifies the key factors contributing to the inefficiency which are limited availability of biogas fuel, customer unpreparedness to receive energy, human resources, and power plant reliability. The analysis reveals that the two most critical factors are the limited availability of biogas fuel and customer unpreparedness. To address these issues, the tapioca factory must process wastewater routinely to produce the necessary biodigester reactor wastewater required by the power plant. Additionally, PT. PLN must improve its medium-voltage network service to minimize energy loss. Urgent action is needed to address these issues and improve the effectiveness of the biogas power plant at PT. Gree Energy Hamparan. The study showed that the lack of biogas raw materials and translated to lack of biogas power plant energy output (only 70% of contract to PT. PLN) and also the unpreparedness of PT. PLN as the energy recipient.
