Impact of Sulphur Content on Coal Quality at Delta Plain Depositional Environment: Case study in Geramat District, Lahat Regency, South Sumatra
Get PDFThe research was conducted in Geramat District of Lahat Regency, South Sumatra. An evaluation of the geological condition of the research area shown that the coal deposits were found in Muara Enim Formation as a coal-bearing formation. The method used was literature study, field observation and the laboratory work includes proximate and petrography analysis. The aim of this research is to determine the environmental condition of coal based on the change of total sulphur content and to know the relation between ash content to calorific value. As the result of proximate analysis conducted on five samples of coal, the research area obtained total sulphur (0,21-1,54% adb), ash content (3,16 - 71,11% adb) and gross calorific value (953 - 5676 cal/g. adb). Based on the result of maceral analysis showed the maceral percentage of coal in research area composed by vitrinite (77,8-87,4 %), liptinite (0,6 %), inertinite (8,0 – 17,6 %) and mineral matter concentration in the form of pyrite (1,6-4,6 %). The average reflectance value of vitrinite (Rv) of coal in the research area (0.54%). the results analysis shows that the coal in Muara Enim Formation on the research area is in the transitional lower delta plain depositional environment phase. Any changes in the sedimentary environment affected by sea water will be followed by changes in total sulphur and the higher ash content, on the contrary, the lower calorific value of the coal
Mapping Of Vegetation And Mangrove Distribution Level In Batam Island Using SPOT-5 Satellite Imagery
Get PDFMangrove is a plant that plays a significant role in the balance of the ecosystem and coastal environment. Batam Island which is one of the island in Batam island become one of the areas rich in mangrove plants. As time goes by, mangrove forests are getting worse. This research uses SPOT-5 imagery data in analyzing mangrove density value in Batam island with MSAVI (Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) method. The results of this study have mangrove density in Batam Island which is divided into four classes, which is very tenuous, tenuous, medium, and very tightly where Batam Island is dominated by a class of density. Theoretically, NDVI values range from -1 to +1 but the mangrove vegetation index values are generally in the range between +0,1 to +0,7. NDVI values greater than this range are associated with a representation of a better level of vegetation health in the islands of Batam

Evaluation Study of Boundary and Depth of the Soil Structure for Geotechnical Site Investigation using MASW
Get PDFThis study reviews the correlation between the experimental Rayleigh dispersion curve and the Vp & Vs ground model versus depth. Six samples of stations A , B , C , D , E and F were used in the experiment.The geophone spacing used was set 1 m and total length of each line was 23 m. The result shows positive significance (best fit) of R2 that ranges from 0.80 to 0.90. The fk (frequency-wave number method) dispersion curves analysis confirmed that the soil structure investigated is divided into three zones: (1) Unsaturated soil zone (clay soil), in which the layer is dominated by soil with typically alluvial clayey silt and sand. The Vp ranges from 240 m/s to 255 m/s at a depth of 2 to 8 m. (2) The intermediate zone (stiff soil), in which the layer is dominated by sand, silt, clayey sand, sandy clay and clay of low plasticity. This structure is interpreted as partially saturated soil zone, the soil is typically very dense. It contains soft rock typically fill with cobble, sand, slight gravel and highly weathered at depth of 18 to 30 m with Vp of 255 to 300 m/s. (3) Saturated soil zone at a depth of 8 to 18 m with Vp of 300 to 390 m/s. There is a very good agreement between wave-number (k) and phase velocity (Vw) produced. Both the two parameters shows similar pattern in the topsoil and subsurface layer, which constitute boundary field of soil structure. Moreover, relationship between phase velocity versus wave-length shows best fit of model from inversion with measured value (observed) in implementation of the boundary and depth of each layer
Review: Marine Seismic And Side-Scan Sonar Investigations For Seabed Identification With Sonar System
Get PDFMarine seismic reflection data have been collected for decades and since the mid-to late- 1980s much of this data is positioned relatively accurately. Marine geophysical acquisition of data is a very expensive process with the rates regularly ship through dozens of thousands of euros per day. Acquisition of seismic profiles has the position is determined by a DGPS system and navigation is performed by Hypack and Maxview software that also gives all the offsets for the equipment employed in the survey. Examples of some projects will be described in terms of the project goals and the geophysical equipment selected for each survey and specific geophysical systems according to with the scope of work. For amplitude side scan sonar image, and in the multi-frequency system, color, becoming a significant properties of the sea floor, the effect of which is a bully needs to be fixed. The main confounding effect is due to absorption of water; geometric spread; shape beam sonar function (combined transmit-receive sonar beam intensity as a function of tilt angle obtained in this sonar reference frame); sonar vehicle roll; form and function of the seabed backscatter (proportion incident on the seabed backscattered signal to sonar as a function of the angle of incidence relative to the sea floor); and the slope of the seabed. The different angles of view are generated by the translation of the sonar, because of the discrete steps involved by the sequential pings, the angular sampling of the bottom
Development of Funginite on Muaraenim and Lower Members of Telisa Formations at Central Sumatra Basin - Indonesia
Get PDFPetrography analysis of coal is the study organic and inorganic components of coal bearing formations. This research conducted observation method under microscopic of thin incision to identify organic maseral group. The organic composition of coal from Muaraenim Formation is known to average for vitrinite maseral group 79.30%, inertinite 10%, liptinite 3.4%, and non-organic 7.3%. While the composition of coal from the Bottom Members of Telisa Formation for the average of vitrinite maseral group 66.4%, mineral matter 30.32%, inertinite 3.26%. The liptinite maseral group is not present as a coal component in the study area. The funginite development of the Muaraenim Formation is quite abundant 2.8% indicating peat swamp ecosystem in wet-dry conditions in ph 3 -5. In contrast, the development of funginite Lower Members of Telisa Formation is known to be absent which is replaced by the presence of frambiodal pyrite and indicates peat ecosystem in wet conditions at ph 6 - 7
The Metamorphic Rocks-Hosted Gold Mineralization At Rumbia Mountains Prospect Area In The Southeastern Arm of Sulawesi Island, Indonesia
Get PDFRecently, in Indonesia gold exploration activities are not only focused along volcanic-magmatic belts, but also starting to shift along metamorphic and sedimentary terrains. The study area is located in Rumbia mountains, Bombana Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This paper is aimed to describe characteristics of alteration and ore mineralization associated with metamorphic rock-related gold deposits. The study area is found the placer and primary gold hosted by metamorphic rocks. The gold is evidently derived from gold-bearing quartz veins hosted by Pompangeo Metamorphic Complex (PMC). These quartz veins are currently recognized in metamorphic rocks at Rumbia Mountains. The quartz veins are mostly sheared/deformed, brecciated, irregular vein, segmented and relatively massive and crystalline texture with thickness from 1 cm to 15.7 cm. The wallrock are generally weakly altered. Hydrothermal alteration types include sericitization, argillic, inner propylitic, propylitic, carbonization and carbonatization. There some precious metal identified consist of native gold and ore mineralization including pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), hematite (Fe2O3), cinnabar (HgS), stibnite (Sb2S3) and goethite (FeHO2). The veins contain erratic gold in various grades from below detection limit <0.0002 ppm to 18.4 ppm. Based on those characteristics, it obviously indicates that the primary gold deposit present in the study area is of orogenic gold deposit type. The orogenic gold deposit is one of the new targets for exploration in Indonesi

Characterization of Basement Fracture Reservoir In Field ‘X’, South Sumatera Basin, Based On The Analysis of Core And FMI Log
Get PDFBasement reservoir is a reservoir that is located in the basement rock, comprised of either igneous rock or metamorphic rock that has secondary porosity, resulting in its capability to store oil and gas. The research was conducted at field 'X' that is located at South Sumatra basin and it is a part of Jambi Sub-Basin. The study was focused on discussing hydrocarbon potential in Fields 'X', particularly at the basement metamorphic rock. The study was conducted at two wells in the field. The secondary porosity system of the basement is fracture porosity. Fracture analysis as secondary porosity system was performed on two wells, HA-1 and HA-2, by using FMI log interpretation. Based on the analysis of fracture on HA-1 well, the trend of fracture system is Northeast - Southwest (NE-SW) with a fracture porosity of 1.49%. On a different note, the trend of fracture system on HA-2 wells is East Northeast - West Southwest (ENE-WSW) with a fracture porosity of 0.888%. The effect of rock properties itself has little influence on the number of fractures as opposed to the effect of surrounding tectonic forces. The fractures are controlled by geological structures following Jambi pattern that has an orientation of Northeast - Southwest (NE-SW). Although the fracture porosity is relatively small, it is enough to storing hydrocarbons in economical quantity
Development of Government Schools in Orangi Town, Karachi: A GIS based Case Study
No full textThe primary school system in Pakistan needs improvement in order to provide the basic right of education to all. Government schools are not enough to cater the needs of increasing population of the country. The main goal of this study was to present a methodology for the development of government schools based on geographical information system (GIS) through a case study of Orangi Town in Karachi. In this study, first the adequacy of government schools in the study area was evaluated and then the need for additional schools with their suitable locations were identified. Data regarding school locations and students enrollments were collected from Sindh Basic Education Program of a non-profit NGO iMMAP. School building footprints were digitized from 2001 and 2013 Google Earth archived images. Population in 2013 was estimated by projecting 1998 census data downloaded from the website of the Census Bureau of Pakistan. An educated assumption of 20 % of the total population of Orangi Town was used to calculate number of primary school-aged children. Study results showed that schools existed in 2013 were not sufficient to serve all these children. This study also revealed that new schools were built during this time period, but the population growth rate was much higher than the growth rate of schools that created a big supply-demand gap. The most progressive Union Council (UC) of Orangi Town was Haryana Colony where 17 new schools were constructed between 2001 and 2013 though the required number of schools still fall short. New sites for schools were also proposed to optimally serve Orangi Town’s residents using GIS proximity analysis
