Considering the depletion of black coal resources, utilization of low rank coal currently is emerging to meet the growing of electricity consumption globally. Some coal fired power plants urge to use the domestic low rank coal due to some financial reasons. They are several coal drying technologies have been proposed. This study analyzes the utilization low rank coal to decrease the electricity cost production at Nagan Raya coal fired power plant. The Coal Moisture Control Fluidized Bed (CMC-FB) technology is selected as a basis for both technical and financial calculation. Based on the pilot project in Fukuoka, this technology is technically feasible and well suited for Nagan Raya power plant. A financial modelling shows that coal drying technology implementation can potentially decrease the electricity cost production for the utility and also make benefits for the investor. Further research is recommended to investigate other proven technologies. Additionally the effect of coal drying implementation to the environment should be noticed.

Abstract Low-rank and medium-rank coal are dominant coal resources in Indonesia. Considering the decisive role of coal in coal-fired power plants, it is crucial to examine the combustion characteristics before burning coal in the boiler. This paper presents the effect of moisture content, heating value, and volatile matter on ignition temperature and burn out of five samples of low-rank coal and five samples of medium-rank coal using TG-DSC analysis which was carried out using LINSEIS High-Pressure STA at atmospheric pressure with an air rate of 25 ml/min and heating rate of 10 °C/min. The investigation results show that low-rank coal with the higher volatile matter has tremendous reactivity and is more flammable, and favours of burning through itself than medium-rank coal. Medium-rank coal has better combustion with short residence time because it has a lower burnout temperature (Tbo) value than low-rank coal. However, medium-rank coal burns more instantly because it has a lower temperature interval than low-rank coal. Medium-rank coal, which has fixed carbon and higher heating value, but lower moisture content, has a higher Rmax value than low-rank coal. In conjunction with these properties, it is crucial to examine the implementation in boilers.

Simulation of low rank coal drying with pore network method in isothermal condition.Indonesia has large coal reserve with most of them are low rank coal. Low rank coal has low energy content (< 4,800 kcal/kg) and high moisture content (> 25%). High moisture content of coal will make a problem for coal conversion processing to be a main energy source such as power plant  so that the moisture of coal must be removed from inside of coal. The moisture content in the coal can be removed by drying based on drying kinetic (drying rate). Drying kinetic is influenced by several variables such as hot fluid velocity and temperature, size and pore structure of material. In this model, sample of low rank coal are analyzed to obtain the data of pore size distribution. The size of pore were used 40 and 100 nm, the pore length was 100 nm. Four different pore structures were simulated by pore network modelling. From pore network simulation, the structure with large pore had long time for drying constant period, but the structure with small pore had short time for drying constant period.Keywords: coal, drying, pore network, moisture, vapour diffusion. AbstrakIndonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki cadangan  batubara yang besar yang dapat digunakan sebagai sumber energi utama untuk industri, tetapi batubara yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia sebagian besar merupakan batubara muda yang memiliki kandungan energi yang rendah (< 4.800 kcal/kg) serta kandungan air yang tinggi (> 25%). Kandungan air batubara yang tinggi menyulitkan dalam proses konversi batubara untuk dijadikan sebagai sumber energi utama seperti pada sistem tenaga. Kandungan air dalam batubara dapat dikurangi dengan pengeringan dengan mengamati data kinetika pengeringan berupa laju pengeringan. Laju pengeringan batubara dipengaruhi oleh beberapa variabel antara lain kecepatan fluida panas, temperatur fluida panas, ukuran partikel yang dikeringkan serta struktur pori-pori dari partikel yang dikeringkan. Beberapa sampel batubara muda dianalisis strukturnya untuk mendapatkan data distribusi pori. Ukuran pori yang digunakan terdiri atas 2 macam yaitu 40 dan 100 nm serta panjang pori 500 nm.  Empat macam struktur pori disimulasikan dengan metode rangkaian pori. Dari simulasi rangkaian pori memperlihatkan bahwa ukuran pori yang besar akan memberikan waktu yang lebih lama untuk laju pengeringan tetap sedangkan struktur pori dengan  ukuran pori  kecil akan memberikan laju pengeringan tetap yang lebih pendek waktunya.Kata Kunci: batubara, pengeringan, rangkaian pori, kandungan air, difusi uap.
