Abstract

In an effort to reduce waste in the city of Medan, the Medan City Government continues to strive to innovate and collaborate with various parties to be able to process waste at the Terjun TPA. One of them is the collaboration between the Medan City Environmental Service (DLH) and PT. Indonesia Power Pangkalan Susu Power Generation Unit in terms of Research and Development of Processing Waste into Solid Fuel for Cofiring Steam Power Plants (PLTU). This collaboration was marked by the signing of an MOU between the Head of the Medan City Environmental Service (DLH) Suryadi Panjaitan and Plt. Senior Manager PT. Indonesia Power Pangkalan Susu Power Generation Unit Trisno Widayat at the DLH Medan City Office, Thursday (16/3). On that occasion, the Head of Medan City DLH, Suryadi Panjaitan, said that this collaboration was a follow-up to the previous collaboration between the Medan City Government and PT. PLN (Persero) regarding research and development of waste management into solid fuel for cofiring of Steam Power Plants (PLTU) which was carried out last year. "This collaboration is in the framework of how we can utilize organic waste, especially those originating from plants in the Terjun TPA, to be used as solid fuel for the cofiring of the Pangkalan Susu Steam Power Plant (PLTU) which is currently managed by Indonesia Power," said Suryadi Panjaitan. Suryadi Panjaitan further said that this collaboration was certainly hoped for by the Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution, who wanted the Terjun TPA to be used for the benefit of the community, nation and state. "With this collaboration we hope to provide benefits to the people of Medan City, because we will be assisted by PLN in fulfilling electricity distribution for the people of Medan City and of course this will also be directly proportional to the increase in Medan City's PAD," he hoped. Meanwhile Plt. Senior Manager PT. Indonesia Power Pangkalan Susu Power Generation Unit, Trisno Widayat said that as PLTU managers, they have an obligation to become a green power plant. One way to make this happen is by using city waste as fuel.
