Abstract

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) can be processed using anaerobic digestion technologies to produce biogas. Biogas, that was produced from the anaerobic digestion process from POME, contained a high impurity CO2 30% - 45% and H2S around 1500 - 3000 ppm. In this research, a feasibility study was conducted to develop an anaerobic digestion facility from POME and biogas upgrading facility using absorption-based technologies: water scrubbing and amine scrubbing. The technical study was carried out using Aspen Plus software with a biogas flow rate of 0.8 MMCFD and methane content in biogas of 65% mole fraction. The target biomethane product contains CH4> 95%, CO2< 5%, H2S < 10 ppm and water content<10 lb/MMscf. The investment and operating costs for an aerobic digestion facilities use data from previous biogas projects that have been registered in the UNFCCC CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) project in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the biogas upgrading facility's investment cost is obtained from the simulation results using Aspen Plus software. An economic study was conducted to calculate the gas price of biomethane with an expected internal rate of return of 12%. The purity level of biomethane from water scrubbing facilities reached 97.38% and from amine scrubbing facilities reached 99.93%. From the simulation and calculation result, the lowest gas price of biomethane was $ 13.06/MMB tu using amine scrubbing technology.

印尼棕榈油厂废水厌氧消化沼气升级装置的可行性研究

棕榈油厂废水(POME)可以处理使用厌氧消化技术，以产生沼气。由POME厌氧消化过程产生的沼气含有高杂质CO2 30% - 45%， H2S约1500 - 3000 ppm。在本研究中，对POME厌氧消化装置和沼气升级装置进行了可行性研究，采用基于吸收的技术:水洗涤和胺洗涤。采用Aspen Plus软件进行技术研究，沼气流量为0.8 MMCFD，沼气中甲烷含量为65%摩尔分数。目标生物甲烷产物CH4> 95%， CO2< 5%， H2S <10 ppm，含水量<10 lb/MMscf。一个好氧消化设施的投资和运营成本使用了以前在印度尼西亚的UNFCCC清洁发展机制项目中注册的沼气项目的数据。同时，利用Aspen Plus软件对仿真结果进行了计算，得出了沼气改造设施的投资成本。在预期内部收益率为12%的情况下，进行了一项经济研究来计算生物甲烷的天然气价格。水洗涤装置的生物甲烷纯度达到97.38%，胺洗涤装置的生物甲烷纯度达到99.93%。从模拟和计算结果来看，采用胺洗涤技术，生物甲烷的最低天然气价格为13.06美元/MMB。
