Abstract
The new government of Indonesia will activate policy for cutting down of the fuel subsidies. The fuel diesel shortly will increase up to $0.85 per liter for industry. This policy will have high impact on the industries such as PT. PLN to supply electricity to the public. PT. PLN depends a lot on the fuel diesel; which will affect the electricity price upon increase. PT. Noor Amalindo Indonesia would like provide a solution with the Biopro Fuel Saver (BFS) Additive Biocatalyst Fuel. BFS Biocatalyst Fuel is produced by converting waste from used cooking oil (UCO) by biochemical technique. It is an attractive alternative for blending with fossil fuel for any application in which commercial diesel or petrol is used such as transportation, industrial applications and power electric generator. Case study using BFS Additive Biocatalyst Fuel compared to diesel fuel with electric generator, PT. PLN Power Plant at PLTD Setia, BlangPidie, Aceh, Indonesia shows that fuel consumption reduce from 0.286 L/kWh to 0.22 L/kWh, while power loaded increased from 600 kW to 800 kW. Temperature radiator of engine reduce from 82o C to 88o C, oil lubricant pressure 5.2 bar constant, resonance noise response (RNR) engine reduce shows that fluctuated high resonance response to lower flat resonance response and the emission shows that reducing of carbon monoxide (CO) on the chimney from 300.2 mg/m3 to 249,2 mg/m3, respectively. Biopro fuel saver is biocatalyst fuel additive are increase engine power capacity, sustain condition operation and environmental friendly and saving of budget to produce energy up to 17% and break event point at 700 kW load of power. Power plant at Setia, BlangPidie will save budget of fuel of diesel per year of $ 1.72 Millions.
