Natural gas is definitely a viable option in bridging our energy gap to the next century of average speed of
renewable energy. Natural gas is recognized as a safe and environmental responsible fuel and has LNG chain if we
reduced emissions in many parts of the world. Liquefied natural gas (LNG), being a denser fluid, is an
economical way to transport and store natural gas, whether via LNG cargo ships or trucks from remote
locations to the consumers. LNG continues to increase its share of year-on-year growth in the global Gas conversion t
natural gas trade and remains one of the fastest growing sectors of the energy industry. 100 MMSCFD =

The LNG supply chain extends from upstream production, LNG production plant, shipping,
storage, and regasification to supply to sales gas pipelines and power plant users. LNG production is 1.Calculation of
capital intensive and the recent costs have deterred the commitment of most investors, and any future
LNG production plant owners must reevaluate the current technologies for a “fit-for-purpose” design to Demand per day
reduce the life cycle costs. (M, Saeid. 2014)

On this assignment, we will do a calculation and plan about LNG supply from loading terminal to
electricity power plant. Three alternative by truck, by pipeline and by barge transport will be calculate
here. The one of advantage condition will chossen from this alternative.

Capacity of ship = 19,100 x 21.20 MMBTU = 404,920 MMBTU

404,920
From 1 ship's capacity can supply LNG needed in PLTG at (days) = = 9

 From 1 ship's capacity can supply LNG needed in PLTG at (days) = = 9

So, to meet the needs of LNG for PLTG Grati just used one 1 ship
Scenario:

Bontang
3 days
Loading time = 1.5 day
Unloading time = 1.5 day

3 days Total time = 9 days

Gresik Supply by 1 ship

Investment cost calculation:

It is assumed that the price of LNG Carrier per MMBTU = US $ 10 / MMBTU
Investment for LNG Carrier = Capacity of LNG Carrie x Price per MMBTU x total ship
= 404,920.00 x 10 x 1
= US $ 4,049,200

3.5 Calculation for storage tank capacity

Safety stock = 9 days
Tank Capacity = 1,800 x 9 = 15,574 m3 = 15,573,846 liters
BOG rate = 0.15% x 15,574 = 23 m3

Storage tank specification

15,573,846
So, the min. total required tank =
50,000
= 311 tanks

Investment cost calculation:

Price of 1 tank = US $ 9,000
Investment for storage tank = Total requred tank x price of 1 storage tank
= 311 x US $ 9,000
= US $ 2,803,292

Total truck calculation:
Distance Assumption mean of truck velocity = 60
Trip duration =
Truck velocity
98
= = 1.63 hours

Loading time = 2 hours
Unloading time = 2 hours
Capacity/truck = 50 m3
Total cap. Needed in PP 1,800
Total truck needed = = = 36 units
Truck capacity 50
Time for one truck = 2 + 1.63 + 2 + 1.63
= 7.26 hours
If per truck 2 x trip per day, so need: 15 hours per day
36
So, total truck needed = = 18 units

Investment cost calculation:

Investment for trucks = total trucks x price of one truck
= 18 x 45,000
= US $ 810,000
Regasification unit = US $ 200,000
High pressure pump = US $ 28,000
Low pressure pump = US $ 26,500
BOG compresssor = US $ 25,000 +
TOTAL COST = US $ 1,089,500

Transportation cost calculation:

Fuel cost = US $ 0.5 / liter
Fuel consuption = 0.4 liters/km
Distce. of Gresik - Grati = 98 km
Distce. One truck / day = 98 x 2 x 2 = 392 km
Total fuel cost = 392 x 18 x 0.4 x 0.5
= US $ 1,297 / day
= US $ 473,397 / year

Maintenance cost estimation:

Page 5 of 10
 Estimate = US $ 200 , for maintenance one truck per year
So, maintenance cost for total truck per year = 200 x 18
= US $ 3,600

Driver's salary calculation:

Driver = 18 persons
Monthly salary = US $ 280 / person
Total driver's salary = 18 x 280
= US $ 5,040 / month
Total driver's salary/yea = US $ 60,480 / year

LNG price calculation:

LNG price = US $ 4.9 / MMBTU
Total LNG / day = 46,800 MMBTU
LNG price / day = 4.9 x 46,800 = US $ 229,320
Total LNG price / year = 365 x 229,320 = US $ 83,701,800

Income calculation in 1st year:

Income = LNG price – (Investment cost + transportation cost + maintenance cost +
driver's salary)
= US $ 82,074,823

= US $ 82,722,663

4. Conclusion
From the calculation about design of LNG supply chain from Bontang - Gresik - PLTG Grati, can
be concluded as several of these statements below:
a. Total LNG Carrier used is one, with its capacity 19.100 m3. The carrier's price is US $ 4.049.200
b. Total storage tank used is 311 tanks, with its capacity is 50.000 liters.
The total storage tank's price is US $ 2.803.292
c. The income comparasionfrom three alternative:
= 1st alternative : 2nd alternative : 3th alternative
= by truck : by pipelines : by barge
= US $ 82,074,823 : US $ 45,127,745 : US $ 82,722,663
The 3th alternative by barge give highest income betwen the other.
So, the transport of LNG from the receiving terminal to the power plant is recommended to by barge.

A power plant having a capacity of 200 MW to be supplied by natural Gas from LNG terminal with the distance of
200 km, if the LNG will be transported by LNG trucks of 20 m3 for each, Design the LNG chain it be assumed the
average speed of trucks 40km/hour. What is the cost of the LNG required by the power plant for 1 year? compare the
LNG chain if we are going transport to LNG barge?

Gas conversion to energy :

100 MMSCFD = 700 MW (typical combined cycle)
100 MMSCFD = 500 MW (typical steam cycle)
100 MMSCFD = 730.000 TPY LNG

Safety stock = 2 days

Tank Capacity = 800 x 2 = 1,600 ton
= = 3,200 m3

BOG rate = 0.15% x 3,200 = 5 m3/day

2.1 Total Cost

Investment for trucks = total trucks x price of one truck
= 40 x US $ 45,000
= US $ 1,800,000

High pressure pump = US $ 28,000
Low pressure pump = US $ 26,500
BOG compresssor = US $Investment

Total Cost = pump+BOG compressor

Fuel cost = US $ 0.5 / liter

Fuel consumption = 0.4 liters/km
Distance = 200 km
Distce. One truck / day = 200 x 2 x 2 = 800 km
Total fuel cost = 800 x 40 x 0.4 x 0.5
= US $ 5,888 / day
= US $ 2,149,120 / year

Maintenance Estimate = US $ 200 , for maintenance one truck per year

So, maintenance cost for total truck per year = 200 x 40
= US $ 8,000

Driver = 40 persons
Monthly salary = US $ 280 / person
Total driver's salary = 40 x 280
= US $ 11,200 / month
Total driver's salary/year = US $ 134,400 / year

LNG price = US $ 4.9 / MMBTU

Total LNG / day = 46,800 MMBTU
LNG price / day = 4.9 x 46,800 = US $ 229,320
Total LNG price / year = 365 x 229,320 = US $ 83,701,800

Income calculation in 1st y = LNG price – (Investment cost + transportation cost + maintenance cost +
driver's salary)
= US $ 79,330,780

Total barge needed = = = 10 units
Barge capacity 80
Time for one barge = 2 + 6.00 + 2 + 6.00

3.1 Total cost
Price of one barge = US $ 50,000
Investment for barge = total barge x price of one barge
= 5 x 50,000
= US $ 250,000
Regasification unit = US $ 200,000
High pressure pump = US $ 28,000
Low pressure pump = US $ 26,500
BOG compresssor = Investment
US $ 25,000
of barge+raragasification unit+high pressure pump+low
Total cost = pressure pump+BOG compressor
US $ 529,500
Fuel cost = US $ 0.5 / liter
Fuel consuption = 0.4 liters/km
Distance = 200 km 108 nm
Distce. One barge / day = 200 x 2 x 2 = 800 km/day
Total fuel cost = 800 x 5 x 0.4 x 0.5
= US $ 736 / day
= US $ 268,640 / year

Estimate for maintenance one barge per year = 10% price one barge.
So, maintenance cost for total barge per year = 10% x US $ 250,000
= US $ 25,000

Crews = 4 persons / barge

Monthly salary = US $ 280 / person
Total Crew's salary = 4 x 280 x 5
= US $ 5,600 / month
Total driver's salary/year = US $ 67,200 / year

LNG price = US $ 4.9 / MMBTU

Total LNG / day = 46,800 MMBTU
LNG price / day = 4.9 x 46,800 = US $ 229,320
Total LNG price / year = 365 x 229,320 = US $ 83,701,800

Income calculation 1st year = LNG price – (Investment cost + transportation cost + maintenance cost +
crew's salary)
= US $ 82,811,460

Barge specification
Length = 20 m
Width = 4.2 m
Depth = 2.6 m
Max capacity = 60 ton
Total installed power = 45 KW
Generator set = 50 KW
RPM = 1,100
