PREFACE
Dear Readers,
As part of our ongoing effort to become the only publication that discusses upstream, downstream
and inter-sectoral oil and gas activities in Indonesia and to be published internationally, Scientific
Contributions on Oil and Gas provides the latest research results, which are based on laboratory analysis
activities, as well as in site and survey activities in the oil and gas field. Research and development of oil
and gas technology is a series of sustainable activities which are linked to various branches of science.
In this edition, we present several articles based on Palynology analysis, which provides results in
the form of sedimentary rock age and depositional environment interpretation of outcrops that were
exposed at the Sungai Merangin, Muara Jernih and Mengupeh. Meanwhile, the further research in
the article Hydrocarbons Potential of Tolo Bay, Morowali Regency: Qualitative Analysis has proposed
using the latest seismic data which has been conducted by PT TGS-NOPEC and PT ECI-PGS, in order
to reduce the risk of the presence of source rock and the posible reservoir as well.
The research entitled Investigation of the Risk of Introducing Produced Water into Fresh Water
System is about finding a method to reduce the risk of loss oil recovery. It found that using an injection
of a mixture of 50% of fresh water with 50% produced water will result in a decrease in oil recovery
of up to 16 %, when compared to using only fresh water which resulted in oil recovery of 46.1%.
In relation to government policies that require the use of substitute fuel oil to diesel fuel with a
presentation of a minimum of 20% bio diesel, the research in the article The Influence of Biodiesel
Blend (Up to 20%) for Parts of Diesel Engine Fuel System by Immersion Test was conducted in order
to identify the components of non-metallic materials with test FTIR, DSC and XRD and XRF test for
metal components of vehicles.
In this issue we are also presenting the results of research into mercury element contained in natural
gas, which has become a serious environmental concern due to its high volatility and toxicity content.
This research is outlined in the article Effect of Activation Temperature and ZnCl2 Concentration for
Mercury Absorption in Natural Gas by Activated Coconut Carbons.
The Editorial Board and the Council Publisher would like to thank the reviewer, editor and all the
authors who have contributed the results of their research to this latest edition of Scientific Contributions
Oil and Gas (1st edition April 2015). It is hoped that this publication will be useful not only for the
readers but that it also makes a positive contribution to science and technology, both in Indonesia and
internationally, especially in the field of oil and gas technology.

ABSTRAK
Studi palinologi di Sub-cekungan Jambi,
Sumatera Selatan dilakukan untuk menyusun
biostratigrafi formasi batuan terpilih yang telah
diidentifikasi. Analisis palinologi ini memberikan
hasil berupa umur batuan sedimen serta interpretasi
lingkungan pengendapan. Penelitian dilakukan pada
percontoh permukaan (outcrops) yang tersingkap
di Sungai Merangin, daerah Muara Jernih dan
Mengupeh. Umur sedimen daerah penelitian
berkisar antara Miosen Awal sampai Miosen
Tengah. Batas atas umur Miosen Tengah ditandai
oleh kemunculan polen Florschuetzia levipoli dan
Florschuetzia meridionalis, sementara batas bawah
umur Miosen Awal dicirikan oleh kemunculan
nanoplangton Sphenolithus compactust. Batuan
sedimen di Sungai Merangin dan daerah Muara
Jernih yang diperkirakan sebagai Formasi Talang
Akar, diendapkan di lingkungan lower delta plain
sampai delta front selama umur Miosen Awal. Di
daerah Mengupeh, lingkungan pengendapan Formasi
Talang Akar ini bergeser ke arah darat menjadi upper
delta plain sampai lower delta plain pada umur
Miosen Tengah.

ABSTRACT
The palynological study of the Jambi Subbasin, South Sumatera is carried out to construct
biostratigraphy of the identified formation. The
palynological analysis provides an age interpretation
as well as environment of depositional interpretation.
The study uses outcrop samples which were collected
from Merangin River, Muara Jernih and Mengupeh
areas. The age of the studied sediment ranges from
Early to Middle Miocene. The top Middle Miocene age
is identified by the occurrence of pollen Florschuetzia
levipoli and Florschuetzia meridionalis, whilst the
base of Early Miocene is marked by the appearance
of nannoplankton Sphenolithus compactust. The
studied sediment cropping out at the Merangin River
and Muara Jernih area interpreted as Talang Akar
Formation was deposited in a lower delta plain to
delta front during Early Miocene. In the Mengupeh
area, this sediment shifted landward into upper
delta plain to lower delta plain environment during
Middle Miocene.

HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL OF TOLO
BAY MOROWALI REGENCY: QUALITATIVE
ANALYSIS
vii
ABSTRAK
Teluk Tolo terletak diantara Lengan Timur
dengan Lengan Tenggara Sulawesi, kedalaman
mencapai 3500 meter di bawah permukaan laut.
Secara regional daerah ini termasuk dalam Cekungan
Banggai yang terdapat beberapa lapangan migas yang
telah berproduksi. Lapangan yang terdekat adalah
lapangan Minyak Tiaka yang berjarak sekitar 125
km di sebelah Barat Laut daerah kajian. Kaji ulang
geo-science dilakukan untuk mengetahui potensi
keberadaan migas di daerah kajian. Berdasarkan data
penelitian terdahulu, makalah ilmiah dan data bawah
permukaan yang diperloleh dari Direktorat Minyak
dan Gas Bumi, blok ini terletak pada kawasan
benturan Lempeng Mikro Banggai – Sula dengan
Sulawesi. Benturan ini diperkirakan terjadi pada
Akhir Kapur dan Miosen Tengah. Pada fase drifting
terjadi proses sedimentasi pada muka Lempeng
Mikro Banggai-Sula, dengan kondisi sama dengan
passive margin. Sedimen ini berpotensi sebagai
batuan induk dan batuan reservoir. Sementara
wilayah kajian pada fase ini diduga terletak di sisi
Selatan Lempeng Mikro Banggai-Sula. Perbedaan
lokasi tektonik ini akan mempengaruhi terbentuknya
jenis batuan sedimen sehingga keberadaan batuan
induk dan batuan reservoir di bagian ini tidak jelas.
Akibat keberadaan batuan induk dan reservoir yang
tidak jelas maka kegiatan eksplorasi migas di blok ini
mempunyai resiko yang sangat tinggi. Dalam rangka
mengurangi tingkat resiko eksplorasi maka diusulkan
untuk melakukan studi geologi dan geofisika dengan
menggunakan data seismik terbaru yang proses
surveinya dilakukan ole PT. TGS- NOPEC dan PT
ECI-PGS.

ABSTRACT
Tolo Bay is located between East Arm and
Southeast Arm Sulawesi, reaching a water depth
of up to 3500 meters below sea level. Regionally,
this block is situated within Banggai Basin where
some gas and oil fields are already in production.
The closest field is Tiaka Oil Field located about
125 kilometers northwest of the study area. A geoscience review has been conducted to clarify the
potential existence of hydrocarbon in this block.
Based on previous reports, papers, and subsurface
viii
data from the Directorate General of Oil and
Gas, the study area is located within the collision
area between Banggai-Sula Microcontinent and
Sulawesi. This collision occurred during Late
Creataceous and Middle Miocene periods. During
drifting phase a sedimentation process occurred at
the front of the Banggai-Sula Microcontinent.. This
sediment is potentially source rock and reservoir
rock. Meanwhile, during the drifting phase the study
area is interpreted as located at the southern part of
Banggai-Sula Microcontinent. This different tectonic
setting will impact on the type of sedimentary rock,
hence source rock and reservoir rock occurrence in
the study area is still unclear. As source rock and
reservoir rock within the study area are unclear,
hydrocarbon explorations will be very risky. In order
to reduce exploration risk, it is proposed to conduct
geological and geophysical studies using the latest
seismic data that was surveyed by PT. TGS – NOPEC
and PT. ECI – PGS.

Analyzed of pore throat size in conjunction with
particle size of water samples suggests the need for
using a filter less than 11 micron to avoid permeability
decline imposed by solid particles. Waterflood
experiments showed an ultimate recovery factor of
46.1% of original oil in place obtained from
freshwater injection. Introducing 50% of produced
water caused an oil recovery loss by 16% compared
to freshwater injection alone. This lost oil recovery
representing a quantitative effect of formation

THE INFLUENCE OF BIODIESEL BLENDS
(UP TO B-20) FOR PARTS OF DIESEL ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM BY IMMERSION TEST
Scientific Contributions Oil & Gas, April 2015,
ABSTRAK
Pemerintah Indonesia akan menerapkan
kebijakan kewajiban penggunaan campuran Bahan
Bakar Minyak jenis Minyak Solar dan Biodiesel
dengan persentase minimum 20% (B-20) dimulai
pada tahun 2016. Dari sudut pandang teknis,
masalah kompatibilitas komponen menjadi salah satu
perhatian industri otomotif. Karakteristik biodiesel
sebagai pelarut dikhawatirkan akan menjadikannya
bereaksi dengan komponen sistem bahan bakar
kendaraan mesin diesel, terutama elastomer.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi
material penyusun komponen sistem bahan bakar,
meliputi komponen logam dan non logam, dengan
kompatibilitas yang baik terhadap B-20. Identifikasi
material penyusun komponen non logam dilakukan
dengan uji FTIR dan DSC,dan uji XRD dan XRF
untuk komponen logam. Uji perendaman selama
2500 jam dilakukan untuk membandingkan pengaruh
5 (lima) campuran bahan bakar (B-0, B-5, B-10,
B-15 dan B-20) terhadap perubahan sifat fisika
komponen logam dan non logam sistem bahan bakar
kendaraan mesin diesel. Sifat fisika yang diamati
adalah berat spesimen komponen uji. Hasil yang
diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa perubahan berat
komponen logam diperoleh pada rentang 0.007%
hingga 0.595%. Perubahan berat yang lebih besar
diperoleh pada komponen non logam antara 0.001%
to 13.85%. Perubahan berat yang lebih rendah terlihat
pada komponen logam jenis material CuO, Al2O3 dan
SiO, sedang untuk komponen non logam perubahan
x
terendah diperoleh dari polimer jenis fluoroviton
A. Pengamatan terhadap komposisi bahan bakar
sebelum dan sesudah uji perendaman komponen
dengan FTIR menunjukkan tidak ada perubahan yang
signifikan dan efek dari sifat pelarut bahan bakar
campuran ini dapat diabaikan.

ABSTRACT
The Government of Indonesia will implement
the mandatory policy on the use of Diesel Fuel and
Biodiesel mixture with minimum 20% volume of
biodiesel (B-20) start from 2016. From technical
point of view, compatibility issue becomes one of the
problems to be considered by automotive industries.
The concern relate with solvent characteristic of
biodiesel, which cause the biodiesel and its blends
react with the parts of fuel system, especially the
elastomers. This work is aimed to identify the material
constructed the fuel system parts, including metal
and non-metal parts, which has good compatibility
to biodiesel blends up to B-20. Identification of the
parts material was done by FTIR and DSC for nonmetal parts and by XRD and XRF for metal parts.
The immersion test is used to compare the effect of
five biodiesel-diesel fuel blends (B-0, B-5, B-10,
B-15, and B-20) to the physical change of metal and
non-metal parts of diesel fuel system in a 2500 hours
test period. The physical change being checked is
the weight of the parts. The result obtained that for
immersed metal parts, the change of weight occurred
in the range of 0.007% to 0.595%. The higher weight
change obtained by non-metal parts in the range of
0.001% to 13.85%. The lowest change was shown
by metal parts consists of an alloy of CuO, Al2O3
and SiO, whether for non-metal parts was shown
by a polymer type of Fluoroviton A. Through FTIR
analysis we also observed that fuels composition
before and after immersed with the tested parts
were not change significantly means that effect of
solvent characteristic of biodiesel in the fuel mixture
is negligible.

ABSTRACT
Elemental mercury from natural gas has
increasingly become an environmental concern due
to its high volatility and toxicity. Activated carbon
adsorption is an effective mercury control method.
Mercury content in natural gas should be removed
to avoid equipment damage in the gas processing
plant or the pipeline transmission system. This
research describes the process of mercury removal
from natural gas by coconut active carbon
impregnated with ZnCl2. Activation temperature
and ZnCl2 solution concentration are significant
affect the mercury adsorption capacity. Charcoal
was prepared from coconut shell and activated at
500, 700 and 900oC in constant flow of nitrogen.
The effect of activation temperature and ZnCl2
concentration for mercury adsorption on adsorbent
show that the adsorption ability of adsorbent is
affected by increasing activation temperature up
to an optimum temperature of 700oC. Ability
of adsorption increases with increasing ZnCl2
concentration and mercury adsorption was optimum
at 7% concentration of ZnCl2. The results indicated
that the adsorption capacity of mercury in natural
gas by activated carbon-impregnated chlor is very
significant. The conclusion of this paper is that
optimum activation temperature 700oC and 7%
ZnCl2 impregnated on adsorbent can improve the
mercury adsorption in natural gas.

ABSTRACT
The palynological study of the Jambi Sub-basin, South Sumatera is carried out to construct biostratigraphy
of the identified formation. The palynological analysis provides an age interpretation as well as environment of depositional interpretation. The study uses outcrop samples which were collected from Merangin
River, Muara Jernih and Mengupeh areas. The age of the studied sediment ranges from Early to Middle
Miocene. The top Middle Miocene age is identified by the occurrence of pollen Florschuetzia levipoli and
Florschuetzia meridionalis, whilst the base of Early Miocene is marked by the appearance of nannoplankton Sphenolithus compactust. The studied sediment cropping out at the Merangin River and Muara Jernih
area interpreted as Talang Akar Formation was deposited in a lower delta plain to delta front during Early
Miocene. In the Mengupeh area, this sediment shifted landward into upper delta plain to lower delta plain
environment during Middle Miocene.

I. INTRODUCTION
It has been known that most hydrocarbons
trapped into the Tertiary reservoir rocks in the South
Sumatera Basin were mainly expelled from terrestrial
to fluvio-deltaic shales and coals of Talang Akar
Formation, where the sandstones of this formation are
acting as reservoir rocks. On the other hand, in some
areas, based on geochemical and geological data,
shales of Miocene Gumai Formation also display
characteristics and capability of both potential and
generating source rocks.

Geological survey of hydrocarbon potential in
the Jambi Sub-basin has been done by LEMIGAS
Stratigraphy Group to collect the sedimentary
outcropped samples which are predicted as potential
source rock for generating hydrocarbon, for
determining age and depositional environment
of sedimentary rock series of the selected rocks.
Meanwhile, the occurrence of older formation in
this basin such as shales and coals of the Permian
Mengkarang Formation can be considered as other
possible source rock.
The study area is located at the Muara Bungo –
Bangko which is administratively situated in Bungo
and Merangin Regency, Jambi Province (Figure 1).
This area is geologically included into Jambi subBasin which is located in the northern part of South
Sumatera Basin.
MuaraBungo
This study has been undertaken to understand
the stratigraphy of the Muara Bungo – Bangko area
of the Jambi Sub-basin, South Sumatra. The purpose
of this study is to determine biostratigraphy of the
identified formations especially those which are
predicted as potential source rocks. The palynological
analysis will provide a zonal subdivision to determine
age of the sediment and also the depositional of
environment interpretation. The result of this analysis
is cross-checked by the foraminiferal and calcareous
nannoplankton analyses and integrated with the
previous works done by LEMIGAS with the target
of Talang Akar Formation.
Target locations are located in the northern and
southern parts of the studied area. Muara Bungo area
is a southern target, whilst Merangin/Mengkarang
River and Muara Jernih area are the northern targets.

samples were processed using standard palynological
preparation technique applied in the Stratigraphy
Laboratory of LEMIGAS, Jakarta.
Geology of the Jambi Sub-basin
The South Sumatra basin is located in the
southern part of Sumatra Island, which is regarded as
a back-arc basin bounded by the Barisan Mountains
in the southwest and by the Pre-Tertiary Sunda Shelf
to the northeast (de Coster 1974).
The South Sumatra Basin is separated from the
Central Sumatra Basin by the Tigapuluh High. To the
east the Lampung High separates it from the Sunda
Basin at the Java Sea (Figure 2). The basin was
formed by the extension of “pre-Tertiary basement”
rocks on “pre-existing faults” and the subsiding
graben in the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene (Barber
and Crow 2003). In Williams et al. (1995), the
South Sumatra Basin has been divided into five subbasins as follows: Jambi, North Palembang, Central
Palembang, South Palembang and Bandar Jaya.
In contrast, Clure (1991) divided South Sumatera
Basin into two sub-basins including Palembang
and the Jambi. Three tectonic events have formed
the South Sumatra Basin. Firstly, the Paleocene to
Early Miocene extension grabens, which trend in a
north direction and were later filled with sediments
of Eocene to early Miocene. Secondly, the inactive
Late Miocene to Early Pliocene normal fault. Thirdly,
3
the Pliocene to Present compression of the basement
rocks with the inversion of basin and reverse normal
faults that formed anticline related oil traps.
Generally, the South Sumatra Basin consists of
“semi-connected NNW-SSE trending synrift basins”
(i.e. the Jambi Sub-basin and the Palembang Subbasin). Figure 3 shows the Jambi Sub-basin and the
Palembang Sub-basin with the basement faults and
anticlines. This region has also being divided according
to the stacking patterns “tectonostratigraphy”
(the pre-rift, the horst and graben stage and the
transgression and regression stage) of the Tertiary
sediment that filled the basins (Barber 2000).
The Jambi Sub-basin is oriented in a NE – SW
direction. It is smaller and more proximal to the
source than the Palembang Sub-basin (Doust and
Noble 2008). It has an area of many faults that are
closely spaced (fault zones) called the Tembesi Fault
(Figure 3). The Tembesi fault trends in a southwest
to northeast direction and also forms the northwest
edge of the Jambi Trough (Hutchison 1996).
Stratigraphy
The general stratigraphy of the South Sumatera
Basin is shown in Figure 4. basement of the South
Sumatra Basin is pre-Tertiary rocks, comprising
various igneous and low grade meta-sediments. It is
overlain unconformably by the Eocene-Oligocene

Lahat (Kikim) Formation consisting of purple green
and red brown tuff, tuffaceous clays, andesite, breccia
and conglomerate.
In turn, the Lahat Formation is unconformably
overlain by the Oligocene-Miocene Talang Akar
Formation, composed of medium to coarse grained
sandstones and coal seams in the lower part; and
calcareous grey shale and sandstone with coal
seams in the upper part. Thickness of the Talang
Akar Formation is approximately (up to) 900 m.
Locally, the Talang Akar Formation was deposited
in a terrestrial to paralic environment, resting
unconformably on top of the pre-Tertiary basement.
The Talang Akar Formation is conformably overlain
by the shallow marine calcareous shale and limestone
of the Baturaja Formation. Moreover, the Baturaja
Formation is conformably underlain by the Gumai
Formation composed of marl, claystone, shale, and
silty shale, with occasionally thin limestone and
sandstone intercalations. The Gumai sediments were
deposited in a deeper open marine environment. In
turn, the Gumai Formation is conformably overlain
by the littoral to shallow marine Air Benakat
Formation comprising sandy and marly claystone,
5
with intercalations of glauconitic sometimes
calcareous sandstone. The deposition of Talang Akar
Formation up to Air Benakat Formation occurred
during Oligo-Miocene time.
Subsequently, the Late Miocene-Pliocene Muaraenim Formation conformably overlying the Air
Benakat Formation which is divided into Member
a (interstratified sandstone and brownish claystone
with principal coal seams) and Member b (greenish
blue claystone with numerous ligniteous coal seams)
deposited in a brackish environment (Suwarna 2006).
The youngest unit is the Kasai Formation,
consisting of gravel, tuffaceous sands and clays,
volcanic concretion, pumice, and tuff. This formation
conformably to unconformably overlies the MioPliocene Muaraenim Formation. The deposition of
the Kasai Formation coincided with volcanic and
magmatic activity occurring in the area. This activity
formed some igneous intrusives intruding the coal
layers such as found in the Bukit Asam coal mine.
II. METHODOLOGY
The study area is situated within the Geological
Maps of Muara Bungo Sheet (Suwarna et al. 1992) and
Sarolangun Sheet (Simanjuntak et al. 1994). These
maps are used for basic reference in knowing the
distribution of the Permian Mengkarang Formation,
Talang Akar Formation, Gumai Formation, Air
Benakat Formation, and Muaraenim Formation. The
study focuses on the sedimentary rocks series which
represent the target formations including Mengkarang
and Talang Akar Formations. These formations are
predicted to be potential source rocks. However,
a view sample was collected from the younger
sequences of the Air Benakat Formation in order
to validate the palynological analysis of the target
formations. Eventually, each formation was selected
for a representative section, which was followed
by collecting rock samples for laboratory analysis
purposes. Systematic sampling was performed to
obtain reliable analysis. For palynological analysis,
it is preferable to have a fine grain sample with dark
colour such as shale and coal.
A total of 21 samples were collected for this
study consisting of 7 samples from Mengkarang
Formation, 11 samples of Talang Akar Formation and
3 samples representing Air Benakat Formation. All
samples were processed using standard palynological
6
preparation technique in the Stratigraphy Laboratory
of LEMIGAS including HCl, HF and HNO 3
macerations, which were employed to get sufficient
recovery of plant micro-fossils for palynological
analysis. These acid treatments were followed
by the alkali treatment using 10% KOH to clear
up the residue. Sieving using 5 microns sieve
was conducted to collect more palynomorphs by
separating them from debris materials. Finally,
residue was mounted on the slides using polyvinyl
alcohol and canada balsam. The fossil examination
was taken under the transmitted light microscope
with an oil immersion objective and X 12. 5 eye
piece. The result of examination is recorded in the
determination sheets and used for the analyses. As
this study applies quantitative analysis, it is required
to count 250 palynomorphs in each sample. The
percentage abundance of palynomorphs from every
sample was plotted onto a chart to illustrate temporal
abundance fluctuations of each palynomorph type,
using astatistically viable population (=count
number) of palynomorphs in every sample. All
analysed samples are integrated into a chart according
to their stratigraphic position defined on the basis
of field observation. Age interpretation is based
on palynological zonations which were proposed
by Rahardjo et al. in 1994. On the other hand, the
environmental classification used in this paper refers
to the deltaic environment modified by Winantris et
al. (2014).
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In general, the studied sections provide low
to moderate pollen assemblages with moderate
preservation. Palynomorphs occurring in these
sections derived from various vegetations including
mangrove, backmangrove, riparian, peat swamp,
and freshwater. Some selected palynomorphs which
significantly appear in these sections are Zonocostites
ramonae (mangrove pollen), Florschuetzia trilobata
(back-mangrove pollen), Marginipollis concinus
(riparian pollen), Sapotaceoidaepollenites type
(peatswamp pollen) and Callophyllum type
(freshwater pollen) (Figure 5). The significant
occurrence of fresh water pollen indicates the
development of freshwater vegetation under
wet climate condition. In addition, considerable
appearance of peatswamp pollen strongly supports
wet climate indication.
Figure 5

A. Age Interpretation
Palynological zonation of the studied area is
assigned to Early to Middle Miocene age. The sedimentary rocks taken from the Merangin River and
the Muara Jernih area can be dated as not younger
than Early Miocene as indicated by the appearance of
biomarker Florschuetzia trilobata along the samples
MRG-4c, MRG-2b, MRG-2a and MJ-12 and MJ-15
(see Figure 1 for sample location). Moreover, the
sediment crouping out in the Mengupeh area also
represents Early to Middle Miocene age as marked by
the presence of index pollen Florschuetzia trilobata,
F. levipoli and F. Meridionalis in samples MGP-1,
MGP-4 and MGP-7 (see Figure 1 for sample location).
Most studied samples show lack of nannoplankton
assemblage. However, some index nannoplankton
occur to indicate the age of the analised samples.
Basically, nannoplankton analysis confirms the age
interpretation based on palynomorphs as suggested by
the occurrence of Sphenolithus compactus in sample
MJ-15 of the Muara Jernih area. It is supported by
7
the existence of Sphenolithus moriformis at sample
MGP-3 of the Mengupeh area suggesting zone NN9
to zone NN12 which equals to Early Miocene age
(Bown 2012).
The foraminiferal assemblage yields poor recovery along the analysed sections. However, the
presence of Globigerinoides subquadratus in the
Mengupeh area indicates the top Early Miocene
(BouDagher-Fadel 2012).
In light of the above discussion, it is concluded
that the sediment situated in the studied intervals is
assigned to Early to Middle Miocene.

B. Paleoenvironment Analysis
The study shows that the analysed sediment
was formed in various deltaic environments ranging
from upper delta plain to delta front (Figure 6).
The sequences found in the Merangin River and
the Muara Jernih area considered as Talang Akar
Formation were possibly deposited in upper delta
plain to lower delta plain (littoral). Meanwhile,
the sediment of the Talang Akar Formation in the
Mengupeh area was formed in lower delta plain to
delta front (littoral-inner neritic).
High abundance of brackish pollen Zonocostites
ramonae appears in Early Miocene indicating
the influence of marine environment during
sedimentation (Figure 5). The studied sections are
marked by significant occurrence of some freshwater
pollen produced by peatswamp and freshwater
swamp vegetation such as Cephalomappa type,
Campnospermae type and Sapotaceoidaepollenites
spp. Riparian elements regularly appear as shown
by Marginipollis concinus and Myrtaecidites spp.
Review Of Previous Works
The secondary data used in this study is part of the
result of South Sumatra Basin research, which was
done by LEMIGAS Stratigraphy Group, Exploration
Division in 1993–1995. The data was generated
mainly from the field samples along some measure
sections in the Mengupeh – Bukit Kerendo area,
Jambi which are close to the study area (see Figure
1 for location).
The palynological analysis of the Talang Akar
Formation obtained from the Mengupeh – Bukit
Kerendo sections exhibits low to moderate pollen

assemblage. It is dominated by fresh water pollen
including Pometia sp., Marginipollis robustus
(riparian), Durio type and Garcinia cuspidata
(peatswamp) (Figure 7). In this area, the Talang Akar
formation is predicted to have an age of not younger
than Early Miocene. This is based on the occurrence
of pollen index Florschuetzia trilobata along the
sample MK24 to sample MK26.
Foraminiferal investigation shows that most of
the analysed samples are barren. Referring to the
appearance of some index of planktonic foraminifer,
the sediment of the Mengupeh-Bukit Kerendo sections
possesses the age ranging from Early to Late Miocene
as indicated by the occurrence of Globorotalia
birnageae, Globigerinoides bispaericus, Globigerina
leroyi and Globorotalia acostaensis. The Early to
Middle Miocene sediment is marked by the last
occurrence of Globorotalia birnageae at the top
suggesting the existence of the Gumai Formation. In
addition, the presence of Globorotalia acostaensis in
the upper section suggests that the sediment within
the upper section is attributed to the Late Miocene
age (Figure 8).
Similar to foraminiferal analysis, most studied
sediment is barren of nannoplankton assemblage.
Calcareous nannoplankton mostly distributed
within the lower part of the studied section. The last
occurrence of Helicosphaera ampliaperta and the
occurrence of Sphenolithus heteromorphus indicate
zone NN5 which is equivalent to Middle Miocene
age. Meanwhile, the occurrence of Helicosphaera
ampliaperta at the lower part of this section defines
the age of not older than zone NN2 (Early Miocene)
as seen in Figure 8.
By using data integration of their benthonic
foraminiferal and palynological assemblages,
paleoenvironment of the studied sediment is
reconstructed. In addition, this reconstruction also
considers the presence of planktonic foraminifera,
calcareous nannoplankton, other fossils and
the existing lithology (inferred from cutting).
Paleoenvironment of the studied area occurs in
littoral which gradually shifts seaward into inner
neritic and continuing to shallow middle neritic.
Littoral environment is characterised by barren
foraminifer. Litologically, it contains sandstones,
clay with intercalations lignit and coal, and sediments
structure of laminations and cross bedding. Inner
neritic environment is represented by benthic forms
of Haplopragmoides and Bolivina (Adisaputra et
al. 2010). Meanwhile, the shallow middle neritic
environment is indicated by the appearance of
Bolivina, Planulina, Pseudorotalia, Ammonia and
Cancris sp. supported by common foraminifer and
calcareous nannoplankton.
After all, it can be concluded that the previous
works conducted by LEMIGAS Stratigraphy Group
suggest the age of Early Miocene for the Talang
Akar Formation. This formation shows transgressive
sucession as indicated by gradual change from
transition (littoral) into shallow marine (inner neritic
to shallow middle neritic). Due to the locations
being close to the study area, this result is useful for
reference of the current study.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
This study shows that the studied sediment
mostly provides low to moderate pollen assemblages
with moderate preservation. Palynomorphs are
assumed to derive from various vegetations including
mangrove, backmangrove, riparian, peat swamp
and freshwater. The studied sediment has an age of
Early to Middle Miocene which may be attributed
to the Talang Akar Formation. Top Early Miocene is
defined by the first occurrence of pollen Florschuetzia
levipoli and the occurrence of F. trilobata supported
by the occurrence of planktonic foraminiferal species
Globigerinoides subquadratus. Meanwhile, the
Middle Miocene age is indicated by the occurrence
of pollen F. levipoli and F. meridionalis.
Paleoenvironment of the studied sediment
initially occur in upper delta plain to lower delta
plain (littoral) during Early Miocene at the Merangin
River and Muara Jernih area. It subsequently shifts
into lower delta plain to delta front (littoral to
inner neritic) at the Mengupeh area during Middle
Miocene. This interpretation is supported by the
previous study done by LEMIGAS Stratigraphy
Group during 1993 to 1995.

Teluk Tolo terletak diantara Lengan Timur dengan Lengan Tenggara Sulawesi, kedalaman mencapai
3500 meter di bawah permukaan laut. Secara regional daerah ini termasuk dalam Cekungan Banggai yang
terdapat beberapa lapangan migas yang telah berproduksi. Lapangan yang terdekat adalah lapangan Minyak
Tiaka yang berjarak sekitar 125 km di sebelah Barat Laut daerah kajian. Kaji ulang geo-science dilakukan
untuk mengetahui potensi keberadaan migas di daerah kajian. Berdasarkan data penelitian terdahulu, makalah
ilmiah dan data bawah permukaan yang diperoleh dari Direktorat Minyak dan Gas Bumi, blok ini terletak
pada kawasan benturan Lempeng Mikro Banggai – Sula dengan Sulawesi. Benturan ini diperkirakan terjadi
pada Akhir Kapur dan Miosen Tengah. Pada fase drifting terjadi proses sedimentasi pada muka Lempeng
Mikro Banggai-Sula, dengan kondisi sama dengan passive margin. Sedimen ini berpotensi sebagai batuan
induk dan batuan reservoir. Sementara wilayah kajian pada fase ini diduga terletak di sisi Selatan Lempeng
Mikro Banggai-Sula. Perbedaan lokasi tektonik ini akan mempengaruhi terbentuknya jenis batuan sedimen
sehingga keberadaan batuan induk dan batuan reservoir di bagian ini tidak jelas. Akibat keberadaan batuan
induk dan reservoir yang tidak jelas maka kegiatan eksplorasi migas di blok ini mempunyai resiko yang
sangat tinggi. Dalam rangka mengurangi tingkat resiko eksplorasi maka diusulkan untuk melakukan studi

ABSTRACT
Tolo Bay is located between East Arm and Southeast Arm Sulawesi, reaching a water depth of up to
3500 meters below sea level. Regionally, this block is situated within Banggai Basin where some gas and oil
fields are already in production. The closest field is Tiaka Oil Field located about 125 kilometers northwest
of the study area. A geo-science review has been conducted to clarify the potential existence of hydrocarbon in this block. Based on previous reports, papers, and subsurface data from the Directorate General of
Oil and Gas, the study area is located within the collision area between Banggai-Sula Microcontinent and
Sulawesi. This collision occurred during Late Creataceous and Middle Miocene periods. During drifting
phase a sedimentation process occurred at the front of the Banggai-Sula Microcontinent. This sediment is
potentially source rock and reservoir rock. Meanwhile, during the drifting phase the study area is interpreted
as located at the southern part of Banggai-Sula Microcontinent. This different tectonic setting will impact
on the type of sedimentary rock, hence source rock and reservoir rock occurrence in the study area is still
unclear. As source rock and reservoir rock within the study area are unclear, hydrocarbon explorations
13
will be very risky. In order to reduce exploration risk, it is proposed to conduct geological and geophysical
studies using the latest seismic data that was surveyed by PT. TGS – NOPEC and PT. ECI – PGS.

I. INTRODUCTION
In Indonesia energy consumption trends increase
in line with economic growth. That energy is
dominated by oil and gas energy, therefore its
resources and reserves must be preserved. In order
to substitute oil and gas reserves, exploration activity
must be conducted continuously, so production and
discovery are in balance. Unfortunately during the
last ten years, a reduction in available blocks has
led to a reduction in oil and gas discovery. In early
2011, the oil and gas sector of the Energy and Mineral
Resources Ministry held a meeting with an agenda to
increase investor interest in hydrocarbon exploration
in new working areas. This meeting decided on a few
strategies to improve the situation. One decision was
to assign LEMIGAS to conduct a geo-science review
over selected available blocks.
The study area is located offshore of Southeast
Sulawesi Arm, at Tolo Bay with water depth up to
3500 meters below sea level. This area is included
within Banggai Basin, where some gas fields are
already in production. The closest field is Tiaka Oil
Field located about 125 km North West of the interest
area (Figure 1).
This review will evaluate hydrocarbon occurrence
within the interested area by considering petroleum
system elements based on available data. Several
in-house research reports from LEMIGAS and
a scientific paper from the Indonesia Petroleum
Association were used as the main information.
Fifteen seismic lines from Petra Nusa Data can’t
be used as they are of poor quality. Well reports on
#Dongkala-1 and #Tolo-1 show limited information.
Regional maps i.e.: free air gravity, heat-flow unit,
bathymetry, sedimentary thickness, seepages and
field maps are considered as support data. Qualitative
assessment of each petroleum system elements are a
guide to the probability of hydrocarbon occurrence.

Tectonic Elements of Banggai-Sula (Rudyawan A. & Hall R. 2012).
Tectonic Setting
The study area is situated within Banggai Basin
where it is believed to be controlled by three major
plates, i.e. western side is Eurasia, eastern side is
Indo-Australia, and north-eastern side is Pacific
(Figure 2).
There are some models that have been suggested
by researchers. Audley-Charles et al. (1972) in
Rudyawan and Hall (2012) linked the Banggai-Sula
block with Misool Island which is located 300
km east. Hamilton (1979) and Norvick (1979) in
Rudyawan and Hall (2012) suggested that BanggaiSula sliced from the Bird’s Head Papua, meanwhile
Pigram et al. (1984) and Garrard et al. (1988) in
Rudyawan and Hall (2012) suggested that this block
had traveled from Central Papua. All interpretation
is based on stratigraphic similarities.
Hall et al. (2009) and Spakman & Hall (2010)
suggested that Banggai-Sula was not from New
Guinea, but was part of Sula Spur which collided
with the Sulawesi North Arm in Early Miocene
and has fragmented by extension since the Middle
Miocene due to subduction rollback into the Banda
embayment.
The study area is separated by South Sula Fault
into northern and southern parts. The northern
part lies on the microcontinent terrain, whereas
the southern part lies on an offshore extension of
the microcontinent terrain. Some major structures
occurred in the surrounding area i.e.: Batui-Balatak
fold and thrust belt, Tolo Thrust, Palu-Koro Fault,
Kolaka Fault, Lawanopo Fault, Hamilton Fault, and
Matano Fault (Figure 3).
Satyana A.H. (2006) applied the docking
and post-docking tectonic escape theory in the
15
Banggai-Sula Area. This theory explains the effect
of collision between two plates and earth lateral
motion after collision. Early Cretaceous – Early
Tertiary (70-50) ma, South Sulawesi is part of Sunda
Platform, as island arc and melange as a result
of oceanic plate subduction over the continental
plate. Early Eocene – Middle Miocene (50 – 10)
ma, stress from east continued and rifting occurred
in Makassar Strait, Bone Gulf, Gorontalo Gulf,
subduction to continent plate occurred several times
and revealed magmatism and volcanic forms in
West Sulawesi. During Middle Miocene – Pliocene
(15 – 5) ma, significant tectonic events occurred,
Banggai-Sula collided with Sulawesi East Arm,
and Buton-Tukangbesi collided with Sulawesi from
the southeast. This collision revealed that Sulawesi
Southeast Arm rotated in an anticlockwise direction,
hence wider bone basin, Sulawesi North Arm rotated
clockwise, and hence produced Gorontalo Basin.
Recent (0-5) ma, at the finalization stage, after collision of the Banggai-Sula and Buton-Tukangbesi to
Sulawesi, tectonic escape occurred, such as the major
transform fault which caused Sulawesi to become
cracked and slide. In general, sliding is eastward to

free oceanic edge. These faults include Palu-Koro,
Matano, Lawanopo, Kolaka, and Balatak. This
tectonic activity also manifested in Banggai-Sula
and in the Buton-Tukangbesi area.
According to Rudyawan and Hall (2012),
the Banggai-Sula area is divided into five zones,
Continental-Oceanic Transition, Oceanic Crust,
Sorong Fault, Extensional, and Gravitational
Structure. The northern part of the study area is
included within Extensional and Continent-Oceanic
Transition; meanwhile the southern part of this block
is a part of Gravitational – Structure (Figure 4).
Stratigraphy
Ferdian (2010) defined stratigraphic of the
Banggai-Sula Island from older to younger as
follows: Metamorphic/basement, Mangole Volcanic,
Banggai Granit, Bobong Formation, Buya Formation,
Tanamu Formation, Salodik Formation, Pancoran
Formation, and Peleng Formation. (Figure 5).
The oldest rock is metamorphic rock of
Carbonaceous or greater age, intruded by Permo-
Triassic granites associated with acid volcanic rock of
similar age. This rock unit is equal with “A” seismic
unit. Bobong Formation is equivalent with Kabauw
Formation (Triassic – Middle Jura), unconformity
above basement, and it is suggested it consists of
continental canalized red bed and coarse sedimentary
rocks. This rock unit is interpreted as equal with “B1”
seismic unit. Buya Formation (Middle Jura – Lower
Cretaceous), unconformity above Bobong Formation/
Kabauw Formation, consists of marine sediments
including quartz-rich sandstones, shales and
limestone. This rock unit is considered equivalent
to “B2” seismic unit.
Tanamu Formation (Upper Creataceous –
Paleocene) was unconformably deposited above
Buya Formation, and this rock unit is interpreted
to be deposited at a deeper marine environment,
and interpreted as equal with “B3” seismic unit.
Salodik Formation (Eocene – Miocene), which is
unconformity above Tanamu Formation, consists
of carbonate platform, marls, and locally reef that
are based by siliciclastic rocks. Salodik Formation
17

is considered equal with “C1” and C2” seismic
units. Pancoran (Middle Miocene – Pliocene),
is interfingered with Salodik Formation and
lithologically similar. Pancoran Formation is
suggested to be equal with “C2” seimic unit. Peleng
Formation/Luwuk Formation(Pliocene – Recent), is
unconformity above Pancoran/Salodik Formation,
consists of conglomerate with coral fragments,
molluscs, algae, and foraminifera.
Petroleum System
In Banggai Basin it is suggested that potential
source rock occur in several stratigraphy intervals,
such as coal and marine clay of Triassic and Jurrasic
age; claystone and limestone of Paleogene age;
and limestone, coal, and marine clay of Early to
Middle Miocene age. Geochemical analyses from
seepages and wells show high sulfur percentage and
biomarker related with Miocene age (LEMIGAS,
2007). Reservoir rock also suggested they come
from several stratigraphic levels, such as clastic
sediment and reef limestone of Middle Jurassic to
Upper Jurassic age and limestone and sandstone of
Eocene to Miocene age. Cap rock suggested at fine
grained sedimentary rock of Middle Jurassic – Upper
Jurassic, fine sedimentary rock of Late Cretaceous
age, and sedimentary rock of Pliocene age. Trapping,
it is suggested, occurred as stratigraphic traps (pinchout and reef) and structure trap (anticline), and
migration through fault plane that connected source
rock to reservoir rock.
II. METHODOLOGY
These qualitative analyses for hydrocarbon
potential in Tolo Trough applied several data sources,
such as bathymetry, air gravity anomaly, heat-flow
map, seismic section, well data, scientific papers,
and reports from previous study. According to Smith
and Sandwell (1977), the bathymetry map is created
based on satellite remote sensing data of Geosat
and ERS-1 (http://marine.csiro.au/). The air gravity
anomaly can be downloaded at http://topex.ucsd.
edu/cgi-nin/get. The cgi data is recorded by remote
sensing satellite of Geosat (http://marine.csiro.au/).
The Heat-Flow map sources are from PPPTMGB
LEMIGAS Database, and seismic data and well data
19
source are from Petra Nusa Data and the Directorate
of Oil and Gas. Because the processed seismic data
is not able to show a layer of rock, the subsurface
mapping cannot be conducted. Interpretation is
conducted based on the published information in
scientific publications.
Data processing of the bathymetry shows
sea depth within the study area, hence support to
identified technical risk during drilling. The air
gravity anomaly processing shows the depth of the
basement rock, hence sedimentary thickness can be
interpreted for identification of the potential source
rock location. Processing of the Heat-Flow shows
heat-flow distribution trend, and it can be a guide to
identify statues of hydrocarbon maturity.
A comprehensive analysis is conducted
simultaneously over the gathered data and supported
by petroleum geology knowledge hence reveal
petroleum system statues of the study area.
IV. DISCUSSION
The study area on the Topography and Bathymetry
map is located at offshore area with water depth of up
to 3500 meters below sea level, the deepest located
in the eastern area. The air gravity anomaly value
varies between (-100) mgal to (+100) mgal, hence a
low area is located in the western area. A low area is
usually potentially a kitchen area (Figure 6).
Based on a regional Heat-Flow map, the study
area located on the Q HFU value varies from 1.0 to
2.0, where the high value lies on the western part
(figure 7). This medium Q HFU value shows a source
rock likely to be mature for hydrocarbon generation.
According to Pertamina and Unocal (1977), sedimentary thickness in Banggai Basin is up to 4000 meters.
Sedimentary thickness and its distribution is shown
at figure 8. Hydrocarbon seepages are not identified
within the Study area, but along eastern Sulawesi located about 50 kilometer west of study area some gas
and seepages have been already mapped (Figure 9).
Overlying analyses over gravity map, heat-flow
map, and sedimentary thickness map shows the
western part of the study area as low area, thick
sedimentary up to 4000 meters, and high Q HFU
value up to 2.0. That condition supports hydrocarbon
generation from existing source rock.

21
The study area is located within the collision
between Banggai-Sula and Sulawesi, hence
exploration will refer to existing oil and gas field
within the collision area (figure 10). Sedimentary
rock that was deposited in front of the microcontinent
possibly act as source and reservoir rock, and
subduction of source rock will improve rock maturity
and then be covered by molasses sediment (figure
11). During the drifting phase, environmentally in
front of the microcontinent equivalent with passive
margin, hence sedimentation produce intercalation
coarse grain and fine grain.
The northern part of the study area is included
within Extensional and Continent-Oceanic Transition,
meanwhile the southern part is included within
Gravitational – Structure. A thrust fault seen on the
east edge, with basement rock overlaid oceanic plate
and sediment thickness around 1.5 second only. There
is a gravitational collapse structure identified within
basement and between “A” and “B” (Figure 12).
Hence, considering the sediment thickness and heatflow unit, the probability of hydrocarbon occurrence
in northern parts is higher compared to the southern
parts. These seismic sections show thick Mesozoic
sedimentary rock, therefore these sections can be an
s exploration target for the near future.
Tectonic setting between the Study area with
existing oil and gas field, such as Tiaka Oil Field,
Mentawa Gas Field, Minahaki Gas Field, and Senoro
Field is deferent. All existing oil and gas fields
located in front of Banggai-Sula Microcontinent
during drifting and collision phases, while the
study area is located at the southern area. Hence,
source rock and reservoir rock occurrence is
unclear. Structure trap and cap rock from Sulawesi
molasses may have occurred in the study area.
Since two element petroleum system in this block
at unclear statues, hence exploration will be risky.
Before deposited Salodik Formation a regional
unconformity is identified, it means uplift occurred,

so if hydrocarbons already mature at this time will
migrate and no hydrocarbon is trapped. This condition increases exploration risk.
V. CONCLUSIONS
The hydrocarbon potential analyses of the study
area that were conducted are based on scientific
publications, LEMIGAS internal studies, and seismic
and wells data from the Directorate General of Oil
and Gas. Based on references studied, the study
area is located within the collision area between
Banggai-Sula Microcontinent and Sulawesi at Late
Cretaceous and Middle Miocene. Regionally the
study area is an interesting area for exploration, as
some oil and gas fields are already productive and
some oil seepages are found just west of this block.
Unfortunately, this area during collision and drifting
is on the south side of the microcontinent, different
to the Matindok, Minahaki, and Tiaka areas that are
located in front of the Banggai-Sula Microcontinent.
Therefore, source rock and reservoir rock within the
study area are still unclear. New seismic data shows
better quality compared to the old data. These data
penetrate more than 6 seconds and show sediment
rock that is interpreted as from the Mesozoic age.
Hence, the Mesozoic sedimentary rock may be an
exploration target in this study area. In order to reevaluate the petroleum system element of the study
area, it is suggested that a geology and geophysical
study be conducted by applying the latest seismic
data that was surveyed by PT. TGS - NOPEC and by
PT. ECI – PGS.

ABSTRACT
Mixing of waters from different sources may exacerbate the risk of formation damage and can impact
on oil recovery. A case study is presented to demonstrate how to assess these risks. The study relies on
laboratory-based work. Appropriate materials, methods, and procedures to assure the quality of test data
and derive technically valid risks potential interpretations are discussed. The risks for potential plugging,
25
scaling, permeability reduction, and oil recovery loss caused by introducing produced water are identified. Plugging is caused by bacterial growth and solid particles present in produced water. Bacterial
growth is categorized as high. Solids Concentration is also high with its mean diameter larger than the
non-damaging particle size. The CaCO3 scale is likely at reservoir temperature due to high concentration
of HCO 3 in the produced water. Mixing of untreated produced water and treated freshwater caused
significantly reduction in permeability. For the 25% PW and 75% FW mix, the permeability decreases
by about 80% of its initial permeability. Adding 2000 ppm of biocide and filtered using 11 micron filter
paper improved the quality of produced water. For the same mixing fraction, the permeability decreases
only 47%. Analysis of pore throat size in conjunction with particle size of water samples suggests the
need for using a filter less than 11 micron to avoid permeability decline imposed by solid particles. Waterflood experiments showed an ultimate recovery factor of 46.1% of original oil in place obtained from
freshwater injection. Introducing 50% of produced water caused an oil recovery loss of 16% compared
to freshwater injection alone. This lost oil recovery represents a quantitative effect of formation damage
on oil production and may be valuable from the economic viewpoint.
Keywords: Produced water, freshwater, formation damage, plugging, scaling, permeability reduction, oil

I. INTRODUCTION
Injection of water for pressure maintenance and
sweeping oil towards production wells is a common
practice in the oil industry. The main reason behind
using this technique has been that it offers high
efficiency in displacing light to medium gravity crude
oils, ease of injection into oil-bearing formations,
availability and affordability of water, and lower
capital and operating costs, leading to a favorable
economic outcome compared to other improved oil
recovery methods. The possible sources of injected
water are produced water from a reservoir that is
brought to the surface along with oil production and
a suitable source from an external reservoir. External
sources range from seawater, lake water, river water,
to shallow aquifer freshwater. A successful water
injection project can increase oil recovery from 5%
to 25% normally seen under primary recovery, up
to typically a 45% recovery of original oil in place.
At the start of a water injection project, all the
injected water is sourced from an external reservoir.
As oil production continues, the volume of water
produced by a well and a field will increase. Then,
the percentage of produced water reinjected is also
increased. This does come without risks because both
surface and produced waters are usually different in
composition. Mixing of waters from different sources
may exacerbate the risk of formation damage and can
impact oil recovery. Evans (1994) provides a good
description of the different activities required during produced water reinjection project to avoid any
risk associated with the project. They are produced
26
water characterization, plugging, scaling, souring
studies, microbiology, corrosion, coreflooding tests,
and injectivity evaluation.
Most of the recent studies of mixing produced
water with surface water concern the formation
damage caused by plugging, scaling, souring, and
permeability reduction. Ba-Taweel et al. (2006)
investigated the risks of injectivity decline in
water injectors caused by mixing produced water
with seawater using core samples from Arab-D.
Experimental results showed that introducing
different ratios of produced water to the seawater
resulted in permeability loss in core samples.
Bedrikovetsky et al. (2006) has shown that mixing
of cation-rich produced water and seawater with
sulfate anions resulted in a significant decrease in
injectivity even for barium levels at decimal fraction
of parts per million (ppm). Mackay (2007) studied the
scaling risks at production wells due to injection of
mixture of seawater and produced water. The scaling
tendency at the production well through precipitation
of barium and sulphate was investigated using the
STARS reactive transport finite difference reservoir
simulator. Zuluaga et al. (2011) studied the risk
of both scaling and souring when produced water
reinjection is supplemented by seawater in a field
scale. Mahmoud (2014) investigated the damage
caused by deposition of calcium sulfate precipitation
by use of the material-balance method. Core flood
experiments were performed to assess the damage
and a computed-tomography scan used to locate the
damage inside the core. The results of experimental
3. Investigation of the Risks of Introducing Produced Water into Freshwater Injection System
(Usman)
data showed reduction of permeability of 20% from
its initial value after seawater injection, caused by
calcium sulfate precipitation.
Plugging risk is controlled by bacterial growth,
oil content, and solid material in the water injected.
Bacteria can plug rock pores by liberating H2S,
which causes precipitation of iron sulfide flocs,
and by creation of bacterial slimes (Lappan and
Fogler, 1995). The severity of plugging by oil will
depend on oil droplet size and concentration. Large
oil droplets can plug the pore throats. Increased oil
saturation around the wellbore results in lowering the
relative permeability to water and reduces injectivity
(Ba-Taweel et al. 2006). Factors which control the
plugging by suspended solid particles are particle size
and solid concentration (Ochi et al. 2007). Suspended
solids with large size will create an external filter
cake and cause face plugging. The accumulation of
the deposited particles inside the core reduces the
pore sizes, blocks thin pore throats, and leads to
permeability reduction.
Scaling may be induced by incompatible fluids.
Two waters are called incompatible if they are
mixed and interact chemically to form a solid that
precipitates minerals. Mineral scales can be both
calcium carbonate and or iron sulphide formation
arising from produced water itself and sulfate scales
arising from the comingling of barium, strontium, and
calcium contained in produced water with freshwater
(Zuluaga et al. 2011). Another mechanism of scaling
is induced by pressure or temperature changes.
Decrease in pressure and or increase in temperature
of water leads to a reduction in the salt solubility,
leading to precipitation of carbonate.
Proper mitigation of formation damage requires
knowing the type of damage occurred, since treatment
is damage-specific. A case study is presented to
demonstrate how the potential risks of plugging,
scaling, permeability reduction, and oil recovery loss
caused by mixing produced water with freshwater
are assessed. Loss in oil recovery is provided to get
insight into how the damage affects economic field
life. The field is a sandstone reservoir with current
production supported mainly by freshwater injected
into main zone reservoir for pressure maintenance
and reservoir sweeping. The freshwater is taken from
shallow aquifer formations in the same structure of
the oil reservoir through several dedicated water
producer wells. Currently, the produced water is
disposed in the river after being treated to reduce
oil content below the maximum allowable by the
government requirement. Having high produced
water disposed in the river, replacing freshwater with
produced water for water injection has emerged from
the water management strategy viewpoint.
II. METHODOLOGY
This work relies on a laboratory-based study.
Appropriate materials, methods, and to procedures
are needed to assure the quality of test data and to
derive technically valid risks potential interpretations.
Details of these issues are described in the following
subsections.
A. Experimental Materials
Water Properties. Water samples representing
both freshwater and produced water were collected
from different sampling points. Freshwater samples
were taken from three points: one at the gathering
network and two samples collected at freshwater
producer wellheads. Produced water samples were
collected at the Oily Water Treatment Unit (OWTU)
outlet flotator. Sampling was conducted daily for ten
days at different times, namely morning, afternoon,
and evening. There was no sampling on the seventh
day owing to rain. The samples were stored in a lab
fridge to prevent bacterial growth over time.
Reconciliation of water properties were obtained
by averaging over the geochemical analysis of
samples taken during ten consecutive days. Table 1
gives the average value and corresponding properties
for each type of water. Produced water is warmer
and contains higher concentration of total dissolved
solids (TDS) compared to freshwater. Given TDS of
1,644 and 2,920 mg/L for freshwater and produced
water, both waters are classified as brackish slightly
saline water.
Cores Selection and Preparation. Four
tubes of full diameter cores were obtained from a
sandstone reservoir. Different laboratory tests were
performed to select consistent core samples in terms
of petrophysical properties as well as homogeneity.
These include full diameter core X-ray computerized
tomography (CT) scan, core plug CT scan, and
routine core analysis. The analysis of X-ray CT
scanning was performed on the well-site core tube
27
to provide an initial non-destructive control over
internal geological features before further analysis.
The full diameter cores were scanned at 0o and 90o
to help in selecting core-plug samples that have
sedimentary bedding planes parallel to the flow
direction.
Ten horizontal core plugs have been cut from
full diameter cores based on the results of full
diameter CT scan. Core plug dimensions are 1.5
inch in diameter and 3 inch in length. The core
plugs were then CT scanned to screen out any core
with fractures or permeability barriers. Routine core
analysis includes porosity, air permeability, and
grain density determinations were carried out for
the selected cores at 4292 psig of confining pressure
and temperature of 80oC. Brief lithology descriptions
were also provided. Porosity was measured using
helium gas porosimeter. Permeability was determined
through the use of nitrogen gas permeameter. Table
2 lists the porosity permeability measurements and
lithology description of the selected cores. Core plugs
are grouped according to their porosity permeability
and lithology characteristics for further coreflooding
experiments. The first group consists of core plugs
#1 and #2 will be used to assess the risk of injected
water on reservoir permeability. The second group of
core plugs #3, #4, and #5 are for an oil recovery study.
Mineral composition of rock samples were
also investigated with the help of X-ray diffraction
(XRD). XRD chipped samples were taken at the end
site of core plugs #1 and #2. The sample materials
are composed of approximately 81% quartz, 9%
kaolinite, 3% illite, 3% siderite, and less than 5%
for other minerals such as plagioclase, pyrite, and
gypsum.

B. Methods and Procedures
Methods and procedures of laboratory testing to
investigate any risks associated with water injection
scenarios are described below.
Plugging. Formation plugging can be impaired
over time by injecting produced water with higher
population of bacteria, oil content, and solid mineral.
All of these can increase the risk of plugging pore
throat in the near-well region where the injected water
first enters the formation.
Bacterial growth was determined using most
probable number (MPN) method by distributing
and separating the microorganisms in liquid dilution
tubes. The MPN for injection water is based on
the API RP-38 method. Optimal growth medium,
incubation temperature, and period are required to
allow any single viable cell to grow and become
quantifiable. Bacteria identification was carried out
by means of purifying monocultures isolates from
bacterial colonies within a dish containing nutrient
agar and then observed using Bergey’s manual. Oil
content in produced water was determined utilizing
the Concawe – 1/72 method. Total suspended solid
(TSS) was measured by use of membrane filter
according to NACE TM-01-73. The sample is pressed
through the filter of 0.45 m at constant pressure
until a certain volume has passed the filter or for a
set time. Test involves determination of the value of
membrane filter test slope number (MTSN).
Degree of plugging potential is expressed by
relative plugging index (RPI) with the following
relationship:
RPI = TSS - MSTN
(1)
As MTSN always has a negative value, then the
RPI is the sum generated from TSS with MTSN.
A guide developed by AMOCO Production Co.
Research Center is used to relate RPI with degree of
plugging as presented in Table 3.
Scaling. Laboratory experimental was carried
out for produced water sample to see the scale risk
if produced water is introduced in the freshwater
injection system. The risk for potential scale
precipitation was investigated at ambient and
reservoir temperatures of 74oF and 94oF, respectively.
Scaling risks induced by calcium sulfate (CaSO4),
barium sulfate (BaSO 4), and strontium sulfate
(SrSO4) are based on solubility calculation using

Here S is solubility expressed in milliequivalents/
Liter (meq/L), Ksp is the solubility product, and X is
excess ion concentration in moles/L. The S is related
to scale formation as follows:
- S > the actual concentration, water is undersaturated
with CaSO4, BaSO4, or SrSO4 and scale is unlikely.
- S = the actual concentration, water is saturated or
in equilibrium with CaSO4, BaSO4, or SrSO4. Scale
layer is neither precipitated nor dissolved.
- S < the actual concentration, water is supersaturated
with CaSO4, BaSO4, or SrSO4 and scale is likely.
where the actual concentration of sulfate compound
in solution is equal to the smaller of the Ca2+ / Ba2+ /
Sr2+ or SO42- concentrations in the water of interest.
The risks posed by calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
scales were investigated by the Stiff Davis Method.
Scaling risk indicated by scaling index (SI) as
follows:
SI = pH (measured) - pHs
(3)
with the pHs is the condition at which water is
saturated in calcium carbonate. Interpretation of SI is:
- For SI > 0, water is supersaturated and tends to
precipitate a scale layer of CaCO3.
- For SI = 0, water is saturated (in equilibrium)
with CaCO3. A scale layer of CaCO3 is neither
precipitated nor dissolved.
- For SI < 0, water is undersaturated and tends to
dissolve solid CaCO3.
Different ratios of produced water to the
freshwater were tested for compatibility assessment
29
using the hot rolling method. Water samples are
first filtered through a 0.45 m filter paper. Put
the samples into the 500 cc sized of stainless steel
cell. Place the cell in a hot roll oven for 24 hours at
reservoir temperature with rotational speed of 50
rpm. After being cooled sample are re-filtered: then
compare TSS formed from the testing of mixed water
with TSS of 100% freshwater and 100% produced
water. If the weight of precipitate minerals of mixed
water is less or equal to the comparator, then the
mixed water is considered compatible and vice versa.
Permeability Reduction. Core plugs #1, #2,
and #3 were used to research the risk of permeability
reduction resulting from injecting the mixed
produced water with freshwater at various volume
ratios. Two tests were undertaken. First, the produced
water without any biocide treatment and filtration
was used with freshwater for the water injection
system. The experiment was done using core plug #1.
Second, the produced water was treated by adding
biocide and filtered using 11 micron filter paper
before being mixed with the freshwater and injected
into the core plugs #2 and #3. All experiments were
performed under reservoir pressure and temperature
conditions, which are 3600 psi and 60 oC respectively.
The experimental procedures include:
- Load a freshwater saturated core plug into core
holder and put it in the 60 oC oven and applying
confining pressure of 4100 psi.
- Inject freshwater that has been filtered using 11
micron filter paper at pressure of 3600 psi up
to several pore volume (PV) to get stabilized
differential pressure (dP) between inlet and outlet
of injection fluid.
- Inject mix of 25% of freshwater with 75% of
production water up to several PVs and investigate
the reduction trend of both differential pressures.
- If the permeability damage is not severe, then
inject mix of 50% of freshwater with 50% of
production water, 75% of freshwater with 25% of
production water, and finally 100% of production
water.
- Perform a post freshwater injection to see whether
the permeability damage could be recovered back
to its original.
Oil Recovery Loss. Quantitative effect of risks
related formation damage caused by commingling
produced water with freshwater to oil production is
30
expressed by loss of oil recovery. Three waterflood
experiments were conducted to assess the risks.
They are 100% freshwater, 50% freshwater and
50% produced water mix, and 100% produced water
injections. Core plugs #4, #5, and #6 were used in
those experiments. The experimental procedure is
described below:
- Inject freshwater of 3 PV and heat the cell and core
at reservoir temperature of 60oC.
- Measure initial permeability to water, kw@Soi.
- Inject Marcol 52 until the pressure drops across
the core plug is stabilized and no more water
production.
- Measure initial permeability to oil at irreducible
water saturation, ko1@Swi.
- Measure the displaced water volume accurately,
- Inject toluene of 1 PV.
- Inject filtered crude oil of 5 PV and measure initial
permeability to oil at irreducible water saturation,
ko2@Swi.
- Shut-in the cell with pressure and temperature to
restore rock and fluids wettability for one week.
- Perform core waterflooding and calculate the oil
recovery factor versus water injection volume.
Risks which arise when introducing produced
water into the freshwater injection system for
pressure maintenance and sweeping oil in a sandstone
oil field studied are discussed below.
A. Plugging
Table 4 gives the average RPI values for
freshwater and produced water measured during the
ten consecutive days both onsite and in the laboratory.
Test results shown that produced water rated poorly in
term of RPI, indicating faster plugging of the filter. It
means that a high potential plugging may arise when
produced water is introduced into the freshwater
water injection system without any treatments. The
RPI becomes more severe when it tested again in the
laboratory due to the increase in value of MTSN and
TSS as seen in Figure 1. Meanwhile the fresh water
in general rated as excellent with a few having a
quality rating good to fair. MTSN and TSS measured
in laboratory and onsite are relatively unchanged as
depicted in Figure 2.

The variation of MTSN and TSS is
controlled by bacterial growth, oil content,
and solid particles material. Microbiological
analysis indicated that both produced water
and freshwater generally contain insignificant
anaerobic bacteria with population less than
10 cell/mg. Specific anaerobic bacteria include
sulfate-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) and sulfatereduction bacteria (SRB) were also found in
an insignificant number. But aerobic bacteria
in the produced water were generally found
to be high density of 10,000 – 99,999 cell/
ml. Oil content in produced water measured
during the ten consecutive days ranged from
0.5 up to 5.0 mg/L with the average value is
1.9 mg/L, a very low level compared with
the standard dischargeable value of less than
30 mg/L (Arthur et al. 2005). Bacteria can
produce biofilm. Oil and solids particles
entrained in produced water may be trapped by
the developing bacterial biofilm. This explains
higher MTSN value from the laboratory tests
compared with the onsite tests. The increasing
of TSS was triggered by the bacterial content
since they add the actual weight of filter paper.
Another source of plugging comes from
the particle size and solids concentration on
waters related to the pore throat distribution.
Non-damaging particle size distribution should
not be larger than 1/10th – 1/7th of pore throat
size (Ba-Taweel et al. 2006). Table 5 gives a
summary of pore size distribution measured
from four core samples. It showed that pore
aperture diameter of 10-30 m around 39%
and 1-10 m about 25%. For an average (D50)
pore throat size of 10 m, the non-damaging
diameter for the invading particle has to

is larger than the non-damaging particle size. Solid
concentration in produced water is also much higher
than freshwater. The increase in solid concentration
will increase the risk of plugging.
The above results indicate that plugging risk
will increase by injecting produced water into the
freshwater injection system, but levels are expected
to be manageable through the use of suitable biocide and filters. Appropriate biocide with optimal
concentration is generally effective in reducing the
number of bacterial cells. Waters should be screened
using filter below 10 m to ensure removal of fine
particles greater than 5 m in order to reduce the
risk of plugging.

Table 7 presents the average values
of scaling index tendency calculations
from 27 produced water samples that were
taken three times a day for nine days. The
highlighted cell indicates a condition that
is interpreted high risk for potential scale
precipitation. Precipitation of CaSO 4 ,
BaSO4, and SrSO4 are not likely because
the produced water is under saturated with
those sulfate mineral scales. The S values
calculated for CaSO4, BaSO4, and SrSO4
are higher than actual concentration both
at the ambient and reservoir temperatures.
Cation and anion levels present in the
produced water are found not sensitive to the
temperature change in forming precipitation
of sulfate mineral scales.
The risk for potential sulfate mineral
scales is further investigated through
compatibility test. Different ratios of
produced water to freshwater are tested.
Table 8 presents the results for the mixing
fraction that were used in the compatibility
test. PW refers to produced water, while
FW refers to freshwater. The results show
that the weight of precipitation formed after
mixing according the scenarios is below the
average weight of proportional precipitate.
It means that no precipitation from the
mixing of two waters is expected. Scaling
index calculations and compatibility tests
are found consistent with the geochemical
analysis reported in Table 1. Less amounts of sulfate mineral
scale-associated ions in the produced water leads to a low risk
for potential scale precipitation.
The laboratory testing of 27 water samples indicated that there
is a tendency for CaCO3 to precipitate at ambient temperature,
although unlikely on average. At reservoir temperature, the
tendency for CaCO3 scale is likely. In other words, CaCO3 scaling
risk increases with temperature. Increases in temperature leads
to a reduction in the solubility of the salt. Decreasing solubility
caused the compounds precipitate from solution as solids. Level
of dissolved bicarbonate HCO 3- concentration which appeared
in the produced water samples is likely sensitive to the
temperature change in forming CaCO3 scale. Cooling the injected
water temperature by increasing fraction of freshwater may

decrease the risk of CaCO 3 scale.
Mitigation through scale inhibitor
squeeze treatments can also be performed
to remove accumulations of this type of
scale.
After finishing freshwater injection,
the mixed of 25% produced water and
75% freshwater began to be introduced
into the core. Results are shown by
green lines in Figure 3. The differential
pressure is inversely proportional
to the permeability. Sharp increases
of differential pressure up to 5 PV
injected resulted in sharp decline in
core permeability. Average permeability
decreases quickly and sharply from 125
mD to 72 mD after 5 PV of injection.
This suggested a fast damaging rate in
the core. Then, the differential pressure
decline is proportional to the cumulative

Core plug #1 was used in this
experiment. The base permeability was

Then, the mixed produced water and

sample. A post freshwater injection was
performed at the end of the experiment.

did not cause any damage to the core
permeability. The water permeability is
relatively constant with an average of

damage to the flow system along the

Figure 5
Permeability reduction after injecting 17 PV of various
mixtures of treated produced water and filtered freshwater
volume injected and permeability reduction decreases gradually to
finally stabilize at around 25 mD after 27.4 PV of injection. It means
that the core loses 80% of its initial permeability. This severe reduction
in permeability is probably caused by high bacterial counts and TDS
present in the produced water. Since the core suffered substantial
permeability reduction, injection with mix of water containing more
than 25% of produced water was not further evaluated.
A post freshwater injection was carried out to further evaluate
the damage characteristic. Results are depicted by blue lines in
Figure 3. No improvement is observed after injecting 8.5 PV of
freshwater shown by relatively constant differential pressure and
permeability. Average permeability of around 20 mD suggested that
the permeability losses cannot be recovered. Untreated produced
(Usman)
water caused permanently permeability impairment,
which is attributed to the entrainment of bacteria
and solid particles with high concentration in the
produced water. The in-situ secretion of bacterial
slimes can be a cause of substantial permeability
impairment.
Test 2: Treated production water
Produced water was treated by adding 2000
ppm of biocide and filtered using 11 micron filter
paper. Figure 4 depicts the differential pressure and
permeability profile as a function of PV injected
for mixture of treated produced water and filtered
freshwater using core plug #2. Increasing differential
pressure resulted in decreasing permeability.
Results of freshwater injection show a similar
trend observed in Figure 3. Both differential pressure
and permeability are relatively constant during
the injection. An average permeability is around
135 mD after 22 PV freshwater being injected.
However, a different trend was observed for the
mixed water injection. Introducing produced water
caused a gradual decline in core permeability and the
decline is linear to the PV injected. The permeability
impairment is significantly improved using treated
produced water. Mixing 25% volume of produced
water with freshwater resulted in the improvement of
core permeability losses from 80% for the untreated
to 47% for the treated produced waters after injecting
the same PV of mixed water. This improvement
is attributed to the effectiveness of biocide in
suppressing the bacterial growth. The observation for
28 days shows that there was no bacterial growth in
the produced water after added 2000 ppm of biocide.
Figure 5 shows the reduction in permeability
which resulted from mixing freshwater with different
fraction of produced water after injecting 17 PV.
Increasing the fraction of produced water causes an
increase in the severity of permeability reduction.
However, the permeability reduction was observed to
reach a saturated value when the fraction of produced
water increased more than 50% of PV. A higher
permeability reduction of 55% was reached when
50% of produced water was injected. The severity of
permeability reduction decreased when the volume
of produced water increased more than 50% volume.
For example, 75% and 100% volume of produced
water caused reduction in core permeability by 44%
and 40%, respectively. Post freshwater injection at
the end of the experiment did not show significant
improvement in permeability. After 17 PV mixed
water was injected, the permeability is relatively
constant at 80 mD or corresponding to 42% in permeability loss.
The major source of permeability impairment for
this test 2 was induced by the solid particles. The solid
particles passed the 11 micron filter paper migrate and
block mechanically within the pore throats, which
have the size less than 11 m. The mean diameter of
solids in produced water and freshwater are 5.4 and
5.5 m, respectively. Therefore, there is a high risk
for the potential bridging of solids within the core
and caused permeability reduction. In addition, high
concentration of TDS in produced water resulted
in more severe permeability reduction imposed by
mixing waters compared to the freshwater alone.
The severity of permeability reduction observed
in both tests can be related to the fraction of pore
throats having a diameter of less than 11 m. When
the fraction becomes larger, the water permeability
tends to decrease. This is supported by the results
obtained from the freshwater injection into the core
plugs #1 and #2. Even though the core plug #1 has
higher absolute permeability, its average water
permeability is less compared to the core plug #2.

D. Oil Recovery Loss
The risk of oil recovery loss induced
by mixing produced water with freshwater
presented was evaluated through three
waterflood experiments performed on
core plugs # 3, 4, and 5. The basic data
for those experiments derived during
coreflooding are given in Table 9. The
permeability varied from 808 to 2270 mD
representing the reservoir heterogeneity.
Produced water and freshwater were
treated the same as that used in test 2 of
the permeability measurement.
Figure 6 depicts the oil recovery
factor which resulted from the waterflood
experiments. The results show a higher
ultimate recovery factor of 46.1% of
original oil in place obtained from
freshwater injection as expected. When
the 50% PW/50% FW mix is considered,
the ultimate recovery factor decreases to
38.7%. The recovery factor of produced
water injection reaches 30.6%. Contrary
to permeability reduction, the 50%
PW / 50% FW mix gives a good result
compared to the 100% produced water.
This is probably due to the fact that
permeability of core plug #4 used in
the 50% PW / 50% FW mix experiment
is significantly higher compared to
permeability of core plug #5 used in the
100% produced water. Knowing that
the average permeability used in the
freshwater injection is approximately 836
36
mD, the waterflood result that consider the permeability of 2270 is
very conservative in terms of oil recovery loss. An important result
from this experiment is to demonstrate the quantitative effect of risks
related formation damage to oil production caused by introducing
produced water into the freshwater injection system. Introducing
50% of produced water caused oil recovery loss of 16% compared
to freshwater injection alone. This reduction of oil recovery is
consistent with the previous experiment results.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
Risks which arise when introducing produced water into the
freshwater injection system were investigated through laboratory
experiments. The field case study demonstrated that there is a risk
for potential plugging, scaling, permeability reduction, and oil
recovery loss. Plugging is caused by bacterial growth and solid
particles present in produced water. Bacterial growth is categorized
high. Solids Concentration is also high with its mean diameter larger
than the non-damaging particle size. The CaCO3 scale is likely
at reservoir temperature due to high concentration of HCO 3- in
the produced water. Plugging and scale resulted in permeability
reduction as well as oil recovery loss, even though that scale plug
was considerably less due to the fact both waters are compatible.
Mixing of untreated produced water and treated freshwater caused
significant reduction in permeability. For the 25% PW and 75%
FW mix, the permeability decreases by about 80% of its initial
permeability. Adding 2000 ppm of biocide and filtered using 11
micron filter paper improved the quality of produced water. For
the same mixing fraction, the permeability decreases only 47%.
This improvement attributed to the effectiveness of biocide in
suppressing the bacterial growth. The permeability decline is
triggered by high concentration of solids with particle size greater
than non-damaging particles size. Analysis of pore throat size in
conjunction with particle size of water samples suggests the need
5)22,3
This is due to the fact that the core plug
#1 contains pore throat size of 1-10 m
about 27.4% of PV, while the core plug #2
has only 21.4%, as revealed in Table 5. It
means that with the same concentration of
solid particles less than 11 m, reduction
in permeability for core plug #1 tends to
be higher than core plug #2. Using a 5
micron filter paper is expected to reduce
permeability reduction induced by solids
particles. Unfortunately, no injection
of freshwater that has been filtered by
filter paper of less than 11 micron was
performed on both tests.

Risk of using produced water on the oil production
is assessed through waterflood experiments. The
results show an ultimate recovery factor of 46.1%
of original oil in place obtained from freshwater
injection. Introducing 50% of produced water caused
an oil recovery loss of 16% compared to freshwater
injection alone. This loss of oil recovery represents
a quantitative effect of formation damage on oil
production and may be valuable from the economic
viewpoint.

ABSTRAK
Pemerintah Indonesia akan menerapkan kebijakan kewajiban penggunaan campuran Bahan Bakar Minyak
jenis Minyak Solar dan Biodiesel dengan persentase minimum 20% (B-20) dimulai pada tahun 2016. Dari
sudut pandang teknis, masalah kompatibilitas komponen menjadi salah satu perhatian industri otomotif.
Karakteristik biodiesel sebagai pelarut dikhawatirkan akan menjadikannya bereaksi dengan komponen sistem
bahan bakar kendaraan mesin diesel, terutama elastomer. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi
material penyusun komponen sistem bahan bakar, meliputi komponen logam dan non logam, dengan
kompatibilitas yang baik terhadap B-20. Identifikasi material penyusun komponen non logam dilakukan
dengan uji FTIR dan DSC,dan uji XRD dan XRF untuk komponen logam. Uji perendaman selama 2500
jam dilakukan untuk membandingkan pengaruh 5 (lima) campuran bahan bakar (B-0, B-5, B-10, B-15 dan
B-20) terhadap perubahan sifat fisika komponen logam dan non logam sistem bahan bakar kendaraan mesin
diesel. Sifat fisika yang diamati adalah berat spesimen komponen uji. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan
bahwa perubahan berat komponen logam diperoleh pada rentang 0.007% hingga 0.595%. Perubahan berat
yang lebih besar diperoleh pada komponen non logam antara 0.001% to 13.85%. Perubahan berat yang
lebih rendah terlihat pada komponen logam jenis material CuO, Al2O3 dan SiO, sedang untuk komponen
non logam perubahan terendah diperoleh dari polimer jenis fluoroviton A. Pengamatan terhadap komposisi
bahan bakar sebelum dan sesudah uji perendaman komponen dengan FTIR menunjukkan tidak ada perubahan
yang signifikan dan efek dari sifat pelarut bahan bakar campuran ini dapat diabaikan.

ABSTRACT
The Government of Indonesia will implement the mandatory policy on the use of Diesel Fuel and
Biodiesel mixture with minimum 20% volume of biodiesel (B-20) start from 2016. From technical point of
view, compatibility issue becomes one of the problems to be considered by automotive industries. The concern
relate with solvent characteristic of biodiesel, which cause the biodiesel and its blends react with the parts
of fuel system, especially the elastomers. This work is aimed to identify the material constructed the fuel
system parts, including metal and non-metal parts, which has good compatibility to biodiesel blends up to
B-20. Identification of the parts material was done by FTIR and DSC for non-metal parts and by XRD and
XRF for metal parts. The immersion test is used to compare the effect of five biodiesel-diesel fuel blends (B0, B-5, B-10, B-15, and B-20) to the physical change of metal and non-metal parts of diesel fuel system in
39
a 2500 hours test period. The physical change being checked is the weight of the parts. The result obtained
that for immersed metal parts, the change of weight occurred in the range of 0.007% to 0.595%. The higher
weight change obtained by non-metal parts in the range of 0.001% to 13.85%. The lowest change was shown
by metal parts consists of an alloy of CuO, Al2O3 and SiO, whether for non-metal parts was shown by a
polymer type of Fluoroviton A. Through FTIR analysis we also observed that fuels composition before and
after immersed with the tested parts were not change significantly means that effect of solvent characteristic
of biodiesel in the fuel mixture is negligible.

I. INTRODUCTION
Application of the mixture of diesel fuel and
biodiesel known as B-XX (where XX represent
percent volume of biodiesel) for transportation sector
now become a common policy taken by countries to
solve their dependence on fossil fuel. Combined with
another benefits such as carbon emission reduction,
cleaner gas emission, increasing added value of
some non-productive plants, and decreasing of fossil
fuel imports, the use of biodiesel to substitute diesel
fuel will be accelerated to the contents of 20% from
national demand start from 2016 by Government of
Indonesia (DEMR No/2014). The policy of using
the mixture of diesel fuel and biodiesel becomes a
mandatory since end of 2013 by implementing B-10.
Now, in the next 2 years the content of biodiesel usage
will be doubled to B-20.
Currently, the usage of biodiesel mixture for
automotive still limited to low percentage in the
countries worldwide. In ASEAN countries, Malaysia
has just implement B-10, Thailand reached B-7 and
Philippines use B-5. From the automobile makers
point of view, the recommended blending for diesel
vehicles even lower which only B-5, as stated in the
document of World Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)
2012 edition. It is because some limitation that the
producers of automobile considered biodiesel will
affect engine performance in some ways. Biodiesel
is observed to provide slightly lower power and
torque, and higher fuel consumption (Demirbas
2007). Distinction between diesel fuel and biodiesel
that being attributed to their difference in chemical
nature may becomes the root cause in the technical
problems. Besides the major fatty ester components,
minor constituents of biodiesel include intermediary
mono-and di-glycerides and residual triglycerides
resulting from the transesterification reaction,
methanol, free fatty acids, sterols etc (Knothe 2010).
Due to its unsaturated molecules and compositional
40
effects, it is oxidative and causes enhanced corrosion
and material degradation (Jain & Sharma 2010).
(Fazal et al. 2010) concluded on their paper that
auto-oxidation, higroscopic nature, higher electrical
conductivity, polarity and solvency properties of
biodiesel cause enhanced corrosion of metal and
degradation of polimers.
In relation with non-metal parts compatibility,
(Bessee & Fey 1997) investigated the effect of
methyl soy ester and diesel blends on the tensile
strength, elongation, hardness, and swelling of
several common elastomers. They showed that nitrile
rubber, nylon 6/6, and high density polypropylene
exhibited changes in physical properties while
Teflon ®, Viton® 401-C and Viton® GFLT were
unaffected. Another study by (Haseeb et al. 2011)
conduct a static immersion test for 500 hours of
three different elastomer materials; nitrile rubber
(NBR), polychlorophrene, and fluoro-viton A in
B-0 (diesel fuel), B-10 (blend sof 10% vol. palm
biodiesel and diesel fuel) and B-100 (biodiesel). At
the end of immersion, degradation behavior of the
tested materials was characterized by measuring
changes in mass, volume, hardness, tensile strength
and elongation. On the conclusion, from these
three materials they assure consumer confidence on
using fluoro-viton for biodiesel use. They explained
that less dissolving elastomer has less possibility
to exhibit swelling or cracking. This reveals that
it is important to find such a material having low
solubility in biodiesel or its blends.
Another research focusing on material
compatibility to biodiesel and its blends work on
metal part compatibility. Copper, mild carbon steel,
aluminium and stainless steel are four important
metals widely used in diesel engines. (Enzhu Hu et
al. 2012) immersed four metal strips: copper, carbon
steel, aluminium and stainless steel for two months in
B-0 and B-100 from rapeseed methyl ester (RME).
4. The Influence of Biodiesel Blends (up to B-20) for Parts of Diesel Engine Fuel System by Immersion Test
(Riesta Anggarani, Cahyo S. Wibowo, and Emi Yuliarita)
Characterization of the metal surface were done
using scanning electron microscopy with energy
dispersive X-Ray analysis (SEM/EDS) and an X-Ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). After the study
they conclude that corrosion effects of biodiesel on
copper and carbon steel are more severe than those
on aluminium and stainless steel. Another experiment
was done by (Fazal et al. 2010) where copper,
aluminium, and 316 stainless steel were immersed
in diesel and palm biodiesel for 600 hours and 1200
hours. They found that biodiesel is more corrosive for
copper and aluminium and that copper acts as strong
catalyst to oxidize palm biodiesel. The differences
between research results exist because they conduct
different test conditions and also different fuels.
From the published papers focusing on material
compatibility to biodiesel, the materials used are
specific sheet or strips prepared for the immersion
test, not from the existing fuel system of a vehicle.
A research by (Reza Sukaraharja et al. 2011) conduct
an immersion test using specimen from existing fuel
system parts, both for metal and non-metal parts, on
a diesel (B-0) and B-10 exhibit a swelling behavior
for some non-metal parts. It is not identified on that
research the type of the material that being swollen
or corroded more than the others.
In order to provide useful information for
automotive industries and identification of the current
existing parts material having better compatibilities to
blends of diesel fuel and biodiesel up to 20% volume
(B-20), we conduct an immersion test of the current
fuel system parts. The difference between this work
and other available work on compatibility to biodiesel
is we use the current parts inside fuel system of diesel
vehicles in Indonesia and identify the constituent
components of the parts to select the more compatible
materials than others to B-20. For both metal and nonmetal parts, we cut the specimen into a particular size
in order to facilitate each specimen to be immersed
in tested fuels inside 1 litre HDPE bottle. By doing
this work we expect to provide recommendation for
the government, industries and also public consumers
about the materials compatible to B-20.
II. METHODOLOGY
Before immersion test, fuel samples to be tested
were prepared by blending diesel fuel and biodiesel.
Five fuels consist of pure diesel fuel (B-0) and the
blends B-5, B-10, B-15 and B-20 are used as tested
fuels. Some physical and chemical parameters of
the tested fuels were compared to the diesel fuel
specification in Indonesia. The fuel system part
specimens from 3 types of diesel vehicles marketed
in Indonesia, two from the conventional diesel
engine and one from the common rail vehicle were
prepared for the immersion test. Both metal and nonmetal parts were cut into a particular size in order
to facilitate each specimen to be immersed in tested
fuels inside 1 litre HDPE bottle. The measurements
of the specimen weight were taken before the
immersion. Elemental analysis was conducted using
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to identify
material elements of non-metal specimens and X-Ray
Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
to identify material elements of metal specimens.
The weight of each specimens were observed before
immersed and 2500 hours at the end of the immersion
test. Before taking the weight data, the remain tested
fuels that attached on the surface of the test specimens
were dissolved by using acetone for 2-3 minutes then
put it on a dry cloth to dry it. Soon after the specimen
dry then the weight data was taken directly.
The following results were presented: the
physical and chemical properties of the tested fuels,
elemental analysis of the material constructed the test
specimens and the weight change of the immersed
specimens during 2500 hours of test period.
A. Physical and chemical analysis of the tested
fuels
All of the tested fuels are checked for its physical
and chemical properties in order to ensure its quality
referring to the diesel fuel specification in Indonesia
(called Minyak Solar 48 specification). Table 1 below
shows us the result of all fuel quality testing
From Table 1, all of the tested fuels fulfill the
specification of Minyak Solar 48, except for the limit
of FAME content. This is understandable that in this
study the FAME content for the fuels are varied to
understand the effect of biodiesel content to material
degradation during immersion test. The compliance
between the results and the specification ensure us
that the tested fuels are having good quality.

B. Elemental analysis of metal and non-metal
parts
Different test are conducted to identify the
elements constructing the test specimens that are
grouped to; the metal parts using XRD and XRF
analysis whether the non-metal parts using FTIR
and DSC analysis. Table 2 shows us the result of
42
)XHO,QMHFWLRQ3XPS
elemental analysis for metal parts and Table 3 shows
the result of non-metal parts.
From Table 2 we can observe that for parts in
pump section, material constructing the parts mainly
consist of ferrous alloy in majority or more than 80%
in mass concentration. Other constituents belong to
zinc alloy and aluminum alloy. For fuel injection
pump parts, the materials dominated by
copper alloy followed by aluminum alloy
as the constituent.
The result of FTIR and DSC for
identification of polymer type constructing
the non-metal parts reveals that common
polymer used in the fuel system parts
belong to Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR)
groups, and other polymer identified is the
group of Fluorocarbon type V (Viton A).
By identifying the elements for the test
specimens, we can observe the type of
material that is suitable for biodiesel blends
up to 20% use.
C. Dimension change during Immersion Test
From previous study done in Lemigas by Sukaraharja, we
noted that the effect of biodiesel use to polymeric materials in fuel

compatible material for B-20. The lowest change of
the metal parts immersed in B-20 is belong to parts
of injection pump with the change only 0.048%.
Tracing back to Table 2, it is observed that parts of
fuel injection pump are constructed from the alloy
of CuO and Al2O3 and other elements in smaller
concentration. This observation lead us to choose the
more compatible parts in contact with B-20 is made
from the alloy of CuO, Al2O3 and SiO.
Figure 2 shows the weight change of non-metal
parts during 2500 hours of immersion test. Similar
with the result show on Figure 1, the positive value
in Figure 2 indicate weight increasing of the test
specimens. Higher weight change of the non-metal
line system is observed from the weight increasing
of the test specimen (Reza Sukaraharja et al. 2011).
Graph of weight change as presented in Figure 1
(a), (b), and (c) shows us that after 2500 hours being
immersed in the tested fuels, the change of the metal
specimens weight ranging from 0.007% for the parts
of injection pump immersed in B-0 to 0.595% for
parts of fuel injection tube immersed in B-20. The
positive values of the result show that the weight of
all test specimens increased. Deeper observation over
these 3 figures reveals that weight change happened
in all tested fuels including B-0 or the diesel fuel.
Further observation focusing on the change of parts
immersed in B-20 as our goals is finding the most
D

Figure 2
Weight change of non-metal parts : (a) parts of injection pump,

parts compared to the metal parts can be observed
from Figure 2, where the range of weight change
is from 0.001% for parts of fuel injection pump
immersed in B-0 to 13.85% for parts of injection
pump immersed in B-5. The effect of biodiesel blends
to non-metal parts is higher than metal because
swelling phenomenon occur in non-metal parts.
Swelling occur because the interaction between
biodiesel and polymer constructing the non-metal
parts caused absorption of the biodiesel liquid take
part into the polymer bodies. This liquid absorption
increasing the volume and also affected the weight of
the non-metal parts immersed in biodiesel blends. The
weight change occured for all tested fuels, even in
B-0 swelling also occured. Focusing our observation
to B-20, we could find the lowest weight change is
belong to parts of fuel injection pump. Tracing back
to Table 3, we can find that there are 2 types of fuel
injection pump parts used in this research. From the
identification number of related part, we conclude
that the part with lowest change is the one constructed
from Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton A).
IV. CONCLUSION
Evaluation on the results of present work
focusing on the identification of current fuel system
parts that having better compatibility to B-20 lead us
to conclude the following points:
1. Higher compatibility in the matter of weight
change to the application of B-20 is shown by
metal parts of injection pump constructed from
alloy of CuO, Al2O3 and SiO.
2. For non-metal parts, higher compatibility in the
matter of weight change on the application of
B-20 is shown by parts of fuel injection pump
made from Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton A).

Elemen merkuri yang terkandung dalam gas bumi telah menjadi perhatian serius dari sisi lingkungan
karena sifat volatilitas dan toksisitasnya yang tinggi. Penyerapan dengan carbon yang teraktivasi merupakan
suatu metode mengontrol merkuri yang efektif. Kandungan merkuri dalam gas bumi harus dihilangkan
untuk mencegah terjadinya kerusakan peralatan dalam plan pengolahan gas dan sistem jaringan pipa

ABSTRACT
Elemental mercury from natural gas has increasingly become an environmental concern due to its high
volatility and toxicity. Activated carbon adsorption is an effective mercury control method. Mercury content
in natural gas should be removed to avoid equipment damage in the gas processing plant or the pipeline
transmission system. This research describes the process of mercury removal from natural gas by coconut
active carbon impregnated with ZnCl2. Activation temperature and ZnCl2 solution concentration are significant affect the mercury adsorption capacity. Charcoal was prepared from coconut shell and activated at 500,
700 and 900oC in constant flow of nitrogen. The effect of activation temperature and ZnCl2 concentration
for mercury adsorption on adsorbent show that the adsorption ability of adsorbent is affected by increasing activation temperature up to an optimum temperature of 700oC. Ability of adsorption increases with
increasing ZnCl2 concentration and mercury adsorption was optimum at 7% concentration of ZnCl2. The
results indicated that the adsorption capacity of mercury in natural gas by activated carbon-impregnated
47
chlor is very significant. The conclusion of this paper is that optimum activation temperature 700oC and
7% ZnCl2 impregnated on adsorbent can improve the mercury adsorption in natural gas.

I. INTRODUCTION
Mercury (Hg2+) is heavy metal in environmental.
Mercury content is found in natural gas as a trace
element. The increased concern by environmentalist
and government on the effect of heavy metals and
attempt to protect public health gave rise to a lot of
research in the development of advance technology
to remove heavy metals from the natural gas as fuels.
The metal adsorption is development of advance
technology to remove of mercury in natural gas
and the adsorption ability of a powdered activated
carbon (PAC) is derived from coconut shell. It was
a more economic and effective adsorbent for the
control of Hg(II) ion in the natural gas industry
(Zabihi & Ahmadpour 2009). Mercury can be
removed from the natural gas through activated
carbons. Activated carbon adsorption is an effective
mercury control method but there are cost limits.
Coconut charcoal may act as a low-cost sorbent used
for controlling mercury levels. In the natural gas
processing industry, activated carbon is frequently
employed for the removal of mercury to protect
aluminum heat exchangers and for a safe working
environment at the plant. Various types of activated
carbons were developed from organic sewage sludge
(SS) using H2SO4, H3PO4 and ZnCl2 as chemical
activation reagents, and the removal of Hg(II) from
aqueous solution by these carbons was effectively
demonstrated (Zhang et al. 2005). Mercury in water
can be removed by using adsorption processes such
as activated carbon that is impregnated with zinc
chloride (ZnCl2), which has been done by Zeng at
al in 2003. That experiment showed that chloride
impregnation with ZnCl 2 solution significantly
enhanced the adsorptive capacity for mercury.
Ademiluyi and David in 2012 had done research
of heavy metals adsorption about the effect of
chemical activation on the adsorption of metals ions
Cr2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ using bamboo, coconut
shell and palm kernel shell was investigated. Bamboo,
coconut shell and palm kernel shell activated at 800oC
using six activating agents. The highest metal ions
adsorbed were obtained from bamboo activated
with HNO3 (Ademiluyi et al. 2010). Similarly, in the
work of Ramírez Zamora et al., petroleum coke was
activated with ZnCl2 and preparation of activated
48
carbon from Neem Husk by chemical activation with
ZnCl2 has investigated by Alau K et al. The degree of
physicochemical alteration was significantly different
for the three carbons obtained after activation
with three chemicals. Activated carbon activated
with H3PO4 being the strongest was able to adsorb
mercury.
Mercury content in the natural gas should be
removed to avoid damaging equipment in the gas
processing plant or the pipeline transmission system
from mercury amalgamation and embrittlement of
aluminium (Crippen & Chao1997). Mercury can be
removed by using adsorption processes such as
activated carbon impregnated with chlor (Yan &
Ling 2003), iodine or sulfur (John & Radisav 1997,
Behrooz & Robert 2002). Activated carbons can be
made from a wide variety of products and are made
from 100% natural products such as hardwoods,
coconut shells, and bamboo. In this paper, activated
carbons were made from coconut shells. Furthermore,
the coconut shells beenwas modified by physical
and chemical treatment. Surface modification of
a carbon adsorbent with a strong oxidizing agent,
generates more adsorption sites on its solid surface
for metal adsorption (Sandhya & Tonni 2004).
The adsorbents are made up of coconut shell (Cocos
nucifera L.), an agricultural waste from local coconut
industries. Surface modifications of it with activator
agents, such as Zinc Chloride respectively, are also
conducted to improve removal performance. Physical
and chemical properties of coconut active carbon
and modified activated carbon were analyzed to
investigate the effect of adsorbate properties and
temperature activation on activated carbon adsorption
performance (Li et al. 2012). Mercury adsorption
was tested by zinc chloride impregnated activated
carbon, which used ZnCl2 solution. In order to
increase the utilization of activated carbon, many
efforts have been made to increase these functional
groups by modifying with compounds of chlorine (
Hu et al. 2009). The effects of activation temperature
and ZnCl2 activator concentration on adsorbent were
studied.

vapor was investigated both in a laboratory and in the
gas demonstration. Their pore structure and surface
chemical properties were characterized by Iodine
number, BET and SEM-ADX (Tan et al. 2011). Textural characteristics of samples were determined by
nitrogen (N2) adsorption with an accelerated surface
area was calculated from the isotherms by using the
Brunauer - Emmett-Teller (BET) equation (Brunauer
et al. 1938). The pore volume was found from the
amount of N2 adsorbed at a relative pressure of 0.99.
The average pore diameter was calculated from three
times of the pore volume over the BET surface area.
The experiment was carried out in the Physical
Chemistry Laboratory and The Gas Demonstration
System Plant of Gas Technology Unit, PPPTMGB
”LEMIGAS” Jakarta.
A. Sample Preparation
Activated coconut carbon that has 70 mesh
size was prepared from coconut shell by physical
activation in a stainless steel reactor with temperature
range of 500 – 900 oC. Nitrogen was passs through a
preheater at the temperature 250-300oC. The products
were washed sequentially with 0.5 N HCl, hot water
and finally cold distilled water to remove residual
organic and mineral matters. Activated coconut
carbons were treated by impregnation with activator
agent of ZnCl2 solution in the a concentration range
of 0, 3, 5 and 7 % (w/v) for 24 hours. Impregnated
activated coconut carbons were dried in an oven at
90oC, cooled down to room temperature and then
stored in desiccators for future use.
B. Sample Characterisation
Characterization of the activated
carbons includes Iodine Number with
standard method of ASTM D 4607-94,
BET surface area was calculated based
on N2 adsorption isotherm by using the
Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) equation
(Brunauer et al. 1938). The average
BET surface area, pore diameter and
total volume pore was calculated three
times (triple calculations). The textural
characteristics of the untreated and
ZnCl2-impregnated activated carbons
was analyzed by SEM-ADX. The
analysis of this data is provided in
Figure 4.
3. Mercury Vapor Adsorption in Natural Gas
The experiment of mercury vapor adsorption
in natural gas is described in a schematic diagram
shown in Fig 1. The working principle of this
mercury removal equipment is to pass the natural gas
containing mercury vapor at known concentration
through an adsorbent. An amount of mercury is
adsorbed and the remaining mercury in the natural
gas will be adsorbed by KMnO 4 solution. The
solution is then analyzed by a Lumex mercury
analyzer. The volume of the flowing gas is measured
by wet test meter equipment. Measurement of

standard mercury and mercury sample is made in
an Outlet Adsorber (AWWA 1975). The natural
gas is flown through mercury stainless steel
reactor adsorber at a temperature of 32oC. The
gas from the outlet of the mercury cylinder is
put into a mercury solution (KMnO4 + H2SO4),
and the mercury concentration is in the solution
is analyzed by a Mercury Analyzer (Lumex 91),
measured in μg/m3.
The experiment of Mercury adsorption was
carried out by using 40 kg activated coconut
carbons. The natural gas as a sample and the
operation conditions were natural gas pressure
of 100 psig, temperature 32oC, and flow 50 Cuft/
hour. Mercury standard solution was known
14570 μg/m3. The natural gas concentration that
was used on performance test was dry gas. It had
flown to the system via a vessel/cylinder that
contained standard mercury. The characteristics
of natural gas is showed in Table 1.
Natural gas composition above was resulted
from analysis of the natural gas sample by
using a gas chromatography instrument with
series number GC-NGA HP 6890 with a TCD
detector. The composition analysis was done by
GPA 2261-00 methods and the heating value
calculated with GPA 2172:2009. The mercury
concentration was analyzed by using ISO 6978
standard and mercury analyzer.
III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
This paper discusses the results of this
research on mercury adsorbent characteristics.
The experiment has data on the effect of
temperature activation and ZnCl2 concentration.
The laboratory testing of the adsorbent involved
iodine number, BET surface area and optimum
adsorption of mercury.
The iodine number is the most fundamental
parameter used in characterizing activated carbon.
It is a measure of activity level and the micropore
content of the activated carbon (higher number
indicates higher degree of activation (Activated
carbon 2012). This result showes that ability of
the activated coconut carbons is different at the
low (500oC) and the high temperature (700oC).
Furthermore, the difference in the iodine number
in the temperature range due the existence of the
suitable temperature for the mercury adsorption.
Iodine number is the ability of the adsorbent to
50
adsorp the adsorbat. When the activation temperature is
at 700°C, the adsorption reached the highest level, due to
the increasing physical adsorption ability, as a result of
increasing the surface area and total volume pore on the
adsorbent. At 900°C, mercury adsorption was lower than
that at 700°C due to desorption making physical adsorption
decrease, so that the total adsorption decreased (Figure
2). Decreasing of iodine number related with decreasing
of mercury adsorption and its reverse. That is indicating
a typical physisorption mechanism due to van der waals
forces between the adsorbate and the adsorbent. Heating
of adsorbent will produce some new pore and increasing
of its surface area.
Impregnation with ZnCl2 concentration 3% up to 7%
showes that the iodine number of adsorbent significantly
increased (Figure 3). That means ZnCl2 impregnation
actually decreased both the BET surface area and the
total pore volume of the activated carbons samples due to
the blockage of internal porosity by incorporated ZnCl2
molecules. Impregnation at a higher temperature promotes
a more uniform distribution of Chlor on the adsorbent pore
structure.
The iodine number result for untreated ZnCl2 was
lower than impregnated ZnCl2. The average pore size of the
activated carbon also increased when increasing the ZnCl2

solution concentration. That means the adsorbent is
blocking micropores, resulting in a drop in specific
surface area and total pore volume. The iodine
number result for non activator and with activator is
shown in Table 2.
Table 3 indicates that BET surface area and the
total pore volume of the activated carbons samples
without activator were higher than activator agent
with concentration 7%. Activated carbon morphology
is shown at Figure 4.
The experiment testing result of mercury
adsorption onto activated coconut carbons indicated
that performance of pilot plant adsorber mercury
adsorption was satisfied. Mercury concentration was
decreasing after the natural gas was flowing to the
equipment system of adsorption mercury and was
able to adsorb mercury vapor with efficiency 99,97%
with natural gas pressure gas 100 psia, temperature
37oC and natural gas flow 50 Cuft/jam.
The mechanism of chemisorption of mercury onto
the Cl-impregnated activated carbons with reaction
ZnCl2 + CnHxOy  Zn + [Cl2-CnHxOy] where
functional group Cl is very important to the process.
Cl atoms which are created by ZnCl2 impregnation,
are involved by probably forming various complexes,
for example [HgCl]+, [HgCl2] and if more of the Cl
concentration, the reaction result [HgCl4] 2-. The
results suggested that Cl-active carbon had excellent
adsorption potential for elemental mercury even at a
relative higher temperature, and the enhancing-effect
was more obvious with increasing Cl content (Lau et
al. 2012). There was an optimum ZnCl2 concentration
for impregnation. The increase of performance
of adsorbent is probably due to the increase of
active sites for mercury adsorption. The kind of Cl
functional groups on the original and ZnCl2-modified
active carbon was found to be different, the latter is of
the active site for mercury adsorption and oxidation,
and for the former it is negligible. There is an
optimum Cl content on the ZnCl2-modified adsorbent
carbon for mercury removal that could be formed
during mercury sorption. These results demonstrate
significant enhancement of activated coconut carbon
reactivity with minimal treatment and are applicable
to mercury removal in natural gas plant facilities.

Morfology of activated coconut
carbons surface area
with activated coconut carbon is now much clearer.
Adsorption by activated carbons, particularly those
impregnated with chloride (Cl) is a technology that
offers great potential for the removal of Hgo from the
natural gas. Chloride impregnation with 7% ZnCl2
solution actually decreased both the BET surface area
and the total pore volume of the activated carbons
samples due to the blockage of micropores by
incorporated chemicals. Zinc Chloride-impregnated
activated coconut carbon showed that it significantly
enhanced the adsorptive capacity for mercury.
The experiment of activation temperature
variation can explain how temperature affects
mercury adsorption performance. The treatment
51
with ZnCl2 impregnation on activated carbon have
been effectively reducing the mercury content in
natural gas.
Physical activation with optimum temperature
o
700 C of adsorbent will produce some new pore
and increase of its surface area until reaching the
optimum temperature. A decrease in the iodine
number results in a decrease in mercury adsorption.
Mercury adsorption in natural gas involves both
physisorption and chemisorptions,
