ABSTRACT

Production activities CPO (crude palm oil) in palm oil mill (PKS) PT. Inti Indosawit Subur Asian Agri, produce
wastewater (palm oil mill effluent) that is utilized as an alternative fuel power plant biogas which will be
channeled into the plant and sold to PLN through anaerobic processes. Anaerobic process produces methane gas
(CH4 ) are inserted into the scrubber was intended as a purification gas produced from anaerobic processes. To
operate the generator biogas. Concentrations of methane and other gases contained in biogas such as (CH4 )
hydrogen sulfide, Carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, hydrogen, ammonia, oxygen must be according to the
standard of PLTBg. Concentrations gas - the gas is already well in PLTBg PT. Inti Indosawit Subur Lush,
because according to the standard quality of fuel, methane gas concentration in PLTBg PT. Inti Indosawit Subur
by 60%. Standard of methane gas concentration of 50% - 70% and the concentration hydrogen sulfidein PLTBg
PT. Inti Indosawit Subur of 80 ppm. Because the syntax ofhydrogen sulfides hould be below 200 ppm. In
operating the gas engine needs to do maintenance or care to always obtain an efficient result. Calculation of
efficiency using direct methods. The result of the calculation of average efficiency reached 38.71%. This shows
that the generator is working on a good efficiency for the gas engine which was good at 30% - 50%.
