"This study is to verify the usage of DME as an alternative fuel and its production routs. As it is clear the energy, its supply and consumption is a very important concern. Countries are developing and as a result of that the energy consumption is increasing. Growing energy consumption is directly related to the depletion of fossil fuels particularly petroleum based fuels. So the world has to think of using other fuels which have at least the same performance and its production is cost-effective. One of these fuels is Dimethyl ether (DME). DME is very promising fuel and research on its characteristics and efficiencies show that it can be considered as a future fuel as it is cheap, environmental friendly and has good efficiency. Another advantage of DME production is that it has different applications and is a versatile fuel. Furthermore, similarity of its physical properties to LPG makes DME handling, storing and transportation easy however DME has low viscosity and lubricity. These mentioned disadvantages which are solvable may cause problems if enough attention is not paid to them. Typically DME is produced from natural gas as a feedstock although coal and biomass are also other possible feedstock to be utilized. To produce DME, natural gas is first converted to synthesis gas via ATR method (Auto thermal reforming) and then is converted to DME through direct method. This research aimed to be done to investigate about the possibility of using DME as a future fuel by discussing about its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, its various production pathways has been talked about and tried to compare them in different aspects."

"Untuk mengantisipasi ketergantungan impor LPG, perlu dilaksanakannya studi pemanfaatan energi alternatif subtitusi LPG. Salah satu alternatif subtitusi LPG adalah Dimetil Eter (DME) yang dapat dihasilkan dari gas alam (CH4). Proses produksi Dimetil Eter (DME) dari gas alam (CH4) dilakukan melalui 3(tiga) tahapan yaitu: sintesis gas, sintesis DME (direct method), dan pemurnian DME. HYSYS process simulation software model-based sebagai representasi pabrik DME digunakan untuk menganalisis 3(tiga) tahapan produksi DME. Teknologi yang diterapkan untuk memproduksi DME ialah teknologi direct method dimana dengan umpan gas alam sebesar 70 MMscfd mampu menghasilkan DME sebesar 658,9 ton/hari dengan tingkat kemurnian 99,99%. Perolehan produksi pabrik DME ini mampu mengurangi ketergantungan impor LPG di Indonesia sebesar 7% pada tahun 2018. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan keekonomian diperoleh biaya kapital (CAPEX) pabrik DME sebesar $57.818.702 dan biaya operasional (OPEX) sebesar $148.232.914/tahun. Dengan asumsi harga beli gas $6/MMBtu dan harga jual DME $833/ton (10% dibawah harga jual LPG), maka didapatkan IRR sebesar 44% dan NPV sejumlah $64.012.840 dengan masa pengembalian selama 5 tahun. Dari perolehan IRR dan NPV tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa pabrik DME ini layak untuk didirikan dikarenakan nilai IRR (44%) lebih besar dari MARR (20%) dan NPV bernilai positif. Dari analisis sensitivitas diperoleh bahwa parameter harga jual DME bersifat sensitif terhadap NPV, dan parameter harga beli gas bersifat sensitif terhadap IRR dan PBP.

To anticipate the LPG import dependency, required a study to look for an alternative energy as subtitution of LPG. One alternative is substituting LPG with Dimethyl Ether (DME) which can be produced from natural gas (CH4). The production process of Dimethyl Ether (DME) from natural gas (CH4) is done through three stages, namely: synthesis gas, DME synthesis (direct method), and DME purification. HYSYS Process simulation as a representation of the modelbased DME plant is used to analyze 3(three) stages of DME production. The technology applied for DME production are direct method technology where with feed natural gas (CH4) of 70 MMscfd are able to produce DME at 658,9 tonnes/day with a purity level of 99,99%. DME yield from this plant is capable to reduce import dependency of 7% in 2018.

Based on the economical analysis calculation, the total capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operasional expenditure (OPEX) of this DME plant are $57.818.702 and $148.232.914/year respectively. Assuming gas purchase price $6/MMBtu and DME sale price $833/tonnes then obtained an IRR 44% and NPV $64.012.840 with 5 years of payback period. Hence it can be concluded that this DME plant is feasible due to IRR (44%) is greater than MARR (20%) and NPV value is positive. Sensitivity analysis of DME plant showed that DME selling price variable are sensitive NPV. In addition, gas purchased price variable are sensitive to IRR and PBP (Payback Period)."

"Teknologi proses Thiopaq rencananya akan dikembangkan pada lapangan gas alam X.

"Pengembangan sebuah lapangan gas bumi memerlukan perencanaan akurat dalam rangka menentukan laju produksi gas yang merupakan salah satu tantangan utama dalam menentukan kelayakan proyek gas. Laju produksi gas optimum ditentukan tidak hanya oleh karakteristik cadangan gas dan reservoirnya, tetapi juga oleh persyaratan konsumen terkait tekanan gas jual, jangka waktu kontrak penjualan gas dan harga gas. Penelitian ini mengembangkan model optimisasi produksi gas yang didasarkan pada pendekatan biaya marjinal untuk memaksimumkan keuntungan ekonomi dengan menggunakan studi kasus lapangan gas bumi Blok Matindok di Sulawesi Tengah. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa meningkatkan tekanan gas jual dan harga gas meningkatkan laju produksi gas optimum dan meningkatkan keuntungan maksimumnya. Sementara itu, peningkatan jangka waktu kontrak penjualan gas akan mengurangi tingkat produksi gas optimum dan mengurangi atau menaikkan keuntungan maksimumnya tergantung atas cadangan gas dan karakteristik reservoirnya. Karena keterbatasan cadangan dan karakteristik reservoir gas, maka peningkatan harga gas membatasi laju produksi optimumnya hingga batas laju maksimum reservoirnya, namun keuntungan maksimumnya akan naik terus mengikuti kenaikan harga gas. Hasil riset ini dengan jelas menunjukkan hubungan yang kuat antara persyaratan kebutuhan konsumen gas dan laju produksi gas optimum, yang merupakan bagian penting untuk negosiasi harga gas dan perencanaan produksi.

The development of a gas field requires accurate planning, in order to determine the gas production rate which is one of the main challenges in determining the gas project feasibility. An optimum gas production rate is determined not only by the gas reserve and reservoir characteristics but also by the consumer’s requirements of the sales gas pressure, duration of the gas sales contract and gas price. This paper presents a gas production optimization model using marginal cost approach to maximize economic profit with Matindok Block as field data.

The results reveal that increasing the sales gas pressure and gas price raises the optimum gas production rate and maximum profit. Meanwhile, increasing the duration of a gas sales contract will reduce the optimum gas production rate and reduce or increase the maximum profit depending on the gas reserve and reservoir characteristics. Due to limitation of gas reserves and reservoir characteristics, then an increase in gas prices limit the optimum production rate up to reservoir maximum rate limits, but the maximum profit will continue to follow up the gas price hike. This work clearly shows the relationship between the user's requirements and optimum gas production rate, which is an important piece of information for negotiating the gas price and planning production."

"Lapangan Gas Natuna Timur merupakan lapangan gas terbesar di Asia Tenggara dengan total cadangan mencapai 222 triliun kaki kubik (TCF) dengan persentase CO2 mencapai 71%. Masalah utama dari tingginya kandungan CO2 pada gas Natuna adalah diperlukan proses pemisahan CO2 yang lebih kompleks dan penanganan limbah CO2 yang dapat menyebabkan emisi gas rumah kaca. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penanganan khusus untuk memisahkan CO2 dari gas Natuna. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan simulasi proses pengolahan gas bumi kaya CO2 menjadi LNG dan dimetil eter yang terintegrasi CO2 Sequestration dengan menggunakan dua skema pemisahan CO2 yaitu teknologi controlled freeze zone (CFZ) dan membran. Simulasi proses dilakukan dengan menggunakan piranti lunak Aspen Hysys V11. Keluaran dari studi ini adalah kinerja teknis berupa konsumsi energi, konsumsi gas dan hydrocarbon recovery dan aspek Kekonomian berupa biaya pokok produksi LNG dan dimetil eter. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi, proses pemisahan CO2 dengan menggunakan teknologi CFZ mengkonsumsi energi 0,038 MWh/ton-CO2 dan hydrocarbon recovery mencapai 95,40%, lebih bagus dibandingkan dengan teknologi membran yang mengkonsumsi 0,222 MWh/ton-CO2 dan hydrocarbon recovery sebesar 92,92%. Selain itu, kinerja teknis pada kilang LNG mengkonsumsi energi 0,432 MWh/ton-LNG dan hydrocarbon recovery 94,27% dengan gas umpan dari CFZ, yang menunjukkan performa yang lebih bagus dibandingkan gas umpan dari membran sebesar 0,454 MWh/ton-LNG dan 90,56%. Sedangkan kinerja teknis pada sintesis dimetil eter dengan gas umpan dari CFZ mengkonsumsi gas 0,0412 MMSCF/ton-DME dan konsumsi energi 2,08 MWh/ton-DME, menunjukkan performa sedikit lebih bagus dibandingkan dengan gas umpan dari membran dengan 0,043 MMSCF/ton-DME dan 2,077 MWh/ton-DME. Dari aspek Kekonomian, harga sales gas di Pulau Natuna dengan mempertimbangkan CO2 sequestration sebesar 10,90 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) dan 9,48 US$/MMBtu (membran) lebih mahal dibandingkan dengan tanpa CO2 sequestration sebesar 6,47 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) dan 5,26 US$/MMBtu (membran). Selain itu, biaya pokok produksi LNG dengan mempertimbangkan CO2 sequestration sebesar 14,28 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) dan 12,96 US$/MMBtu lebih mahal dibandingkan dengan tanpa CO2 sequestration yaitu 9,85 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) dan 8,75 US$/MMBtu (membran). Sedangkan pada biaya pokok produksi sintesis dimetil eter yaitu sebesar 13,85 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) dan 12,57 US$/MMBtu dengan mempertimbangkan CO2 sequestration menunjukkan angka yang lebih mahal dibandingkan dengan tanpa CO2 sequestration yaitu 9,42 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) dan 8,36 US$/MMBtu (membran).

East Natuna gas field is the largest gas field in Southeast Asia with total reserves reaching 222 trillion cubic feet (TCF) with a percentage of CO2 contents is about 71%. The main problem is high CO2 contents of Natuna gas so that it requires a more complex CO2 separation process and the handling of CO2 waste which can cause greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, special handling is needed to separate CO2 from Natuna gas. In this study, process simulation of natural gas with high CO2-contents to LNG and dimethyl eter with CO2 sequestration is conducted by using two schemes of CO2 separation: controlled freeze zone (CFZ) and membran technology. The process simulation is performed by using Aspen Hysys V11 software. The output of this study is technical aspects which cover energy consumption, feed gas consumption and hydrocarbon recovery and economical aspects which cover levelized cost of LNG and dimethyl eter production. Based on process simulation,  in technical aspect, CO2 separation using CFZ technology (energy consumption of 0,038 MWh/tonne-CO2 and hydrocarbon recovery of 95,40%) results better performance compared to membran technology (0,222 MWh/ton-CO2 dan 92,92%). In addition, technical aspect on LNG processing (energy consumption of 0,432 MWh/tonne-CO2 and hydrocarbon recovery of 94,27%) with feed gas from CFZ shows better performance rather than feed gas from membrane separation (0,454 MWh/ton-LNG dan 90,56%). Furthermore, technical aspect on dimethyl ether synthesis with feed gas from CFZ (gas consumption of 0,0412 MMSCF/tonne-DME and 2,077 (MWh/tonne-DME) is slightly better performance than synthesis process with feed gas from membrane (0,043 MMSCF/ton-DME and 2,077 MWh/ton-DME). Based on economical aspect, sales gas price in Natuna Island with CO2 sequestration of 10,90 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) and 9,48 US$/MMBtu (membrane) is quite expensive compared to without CO2 sequestration of 6,47 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) and 5,26 US$/MMBtu (membrane). In addition, levelized cost of LNG production with CO2 sequestration of 14,28 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) and 12,96 US$/MMBtu (membrane) is more expensive compared to levelized cost without CO2 sequestration which has value of 9,85 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) dan 8,75 US$/MMBtu (membrane). Levelized cost of dimethyl ether production with CO2 sequestration of 13,85 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) and 12,57 US$/MMBtu is more expensive compared to levelized cost without CO2 sequestration which has value of 9,42 US$/MMBtu (CFZ) and 8,36 US$/MMBtu (membrane)."
