1. Profile

(1) Project site:

The project is located in the north of western Java, Banten, Indonesia.

(2) Owner:

Genting Energy Limited from Malaysia and SDIC Power Holdings Co., Ltd. from China.

(3) Capacity:

Flue gas desulfurization of 1×670 MW supercritical coal-fired power plant.

(4) Date of operation:

August 2017.

(5) Investment, construction and operation:

The project is invested and operated by the Owner, Harbin Electric International Co., Ltd. is the EPC contractor and Beijing Guodian Longyuan Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. is the construction unit of the desulfurization project.

2. Major environmental problems to be addressed

Emission control of SO₂ in flue gas from the coal-fired power plant.

3. Environmental standards and/or main index limits to be followed

Environmental protection standard for coal-fired power plants in Indonesia: SO₂ emission concentration of flue gas≤750mg/m³.

4. Technological process

The seawater desulfurization process is adopted, which consists of a flue gas treatment system and a seawater treatment system. The flue gas treatment system absorbs SO₂ in flue gas, and the seawater treatment system aerates and recovers the seawater after absorbing SO₂, so that the seawater could be discharged meeting the design requirements.

5. Environmental pollution control effects

The project was newly built, with SO₂ concentration in flue gas at the inlet＜2,200 mg/m³, SO₂ emission concentration after treatment＜450 mg/m³.

6. Social benefits

The project has contributed to the control of flue gas pollutant emissions from the coal-fired power plants. The annual energy production of the power plant is about 4.355 billion kilowatt-hours, easing the power supply shortage in Java, Indonesia. The construction of the power plant has optimized the local energy structure and provided jobs for local people.

7. Economic benefits

The procurement of products and services during construction and operation of the power plant can advance the development of local industries and economy.

Project significance: As the largest economy in ASEAN with a population of more than 258 million (2017), Indonesia suffers from backward infrastructures and power shortage. The power plant is the first and only independent power plant put into commercial operation in the 35,000 MW Program (2015-2019) of Indonesia, a model green power plant in Indonesia as well as a typical project of Chinese electric power environmental protection enterprises in the countries along the “Belt and Road”. The main equipment of the power plant is designed and manufactured by Harbin Electric Corporation, with all of the major participating units from China. It is an iconic project of “Made in China” and “Built in China”.
