- Abstract
Indonesia palm oil plantations have an area 15.08 million hectares in 2021 which provide huge potential of biomass from replanting waste including palm oil trunks. This study aims to determine the characteristics of palm oil trunks and its potential for co-firing fuel with coal in power plant. The palm oil trunks were analyzed and evaluated by theoretical prediction calculation to find the risk potential of slagging, fouling, corrosion, abrasion, and agglomeration. AFT analysis result of the three parts of palm oil trunk samples were showed low values. It was due to the high SiO2/Al2O3 and K2O composition which made the ash melted easier. Furthermore, high K2O and chlorine contents in palm oil trunks can accelerate the production of ash deposits in convection area, increase the risk of fouling, and enhance high thermal corrosion. In addition, there is also high risk of agglomeration from palm oil trunk due to high K2O contents. Need to consider the coal characteristic for utilization of palm oil trunk as co-firing fuel to minimize the problem especially risk of corrosion and agglomeration.
