Wärtsilä continues to ensure reliable electricity supply at Indonesian power plant
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 10 October 2017 at 10 am EEST
The technology group Wärtsilä has renewed its contract with the mining company
PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTAM) to improve the efficiency and operational
reliability and lower the emissions of its power plant in Indonesia. The
agreement for the optimised maintenance now extends to condition based
maintenance and provides the customer with advice and recommendations based on
real-time operational data.
The new five-year agreement, signed in the second quarter of 2017, reinforces
Wärtsilä's strong relationship with the state-owned ANTAM. Wärtsilä has worked
with ANTAM for over 15 years to ensure reliable power plant operations. In
addition to remote monitoring, stationary Wärtsilä field personnel will be
working with ANTAM in an advisory role. The agreement also includes full power
management system (PMS) with spare parts supply for engines and auxiliaries.
Through the cooperation, ANTAM benefits from the latest design and upgrade
information, expert technical advisory, analysis and audits as well as
improvement recommendations for the installation.
Dual fuel engines enable increased efficiency and reliability
The base load power plant, situated in Pomalaa in Southeast Sulawesi, is powered
by Wärtsilä 50 engines. The plant has an output of some 137 MW and it supplies
60% of the electrical energy needed at the ANTAM ferronickel mine and ore
processing plant in Pomalaa. The plant engines were converted to operate on dual
fuel in 2016, leading to fuel flexibility and lower emissions as well as
increased efficiency and reliability.
"We were looking for a solution to increase efficiency without compromising on
the risk management of the plant. We are happy to continue our proven
cooperation with Wärtsilä, who were able to provide us with a solution tailored
to our needs. The continuous monitoring of the power plant's condition gives us
a holistic view that helps us make knowledge-based, predictive decisions to
ensure the plant's reliability and efficiency. Wärtsilä as a maintenance and
advisory partner will support us in maintaining sustainable growth," says Mr.
Hendra Wijayanto from ANTAM VP Operation Support.
"We are very pleased to continue and strengthen our long-standing business
cooperation with ANTAM. With our expertise, we can ensure the reliable
electricity supply for ANTAM's ferronickel mine and ore processing plant in
Pomalaa. At the same time, we help ANTAM to increase their operational
efficiency and cost predictability," says Erwin Vanderkerff, Managing Director,
Wärtsilä Indonesia.
ANTAM is a vertically integrated, export-oriented, diversified mining and metals
company. With operations spread throughout the mineral-rich Indonesian
archipelago, ANTAM undertakes all activities from exploration, excavation,
processing through to marketing of nickel ore, ferronickel, gold, silver,
bauxite and coal.
