Amid the ongoing global energy transition, every successfully delivered project is the result of countless teams’ dedication and hard work. On 20 October 2024, with the final commissioning task completed, the coal-bunker anti-blocking retrofit for PLTU 3 BANTEN LONTAR Unit #1 was officially concluded. This achievement not only testifies to Datong Longyuan’s technical strength, but also marks a key milestone in our contribution to Indonesia’s power sector.

Teamwork drives success

Throughout the project, Datong Longyuan’s Indonesian team demonstrated professionalism and unity. Confronted by a series of on-site challenges, team members worked tirelessly around the clock. From iterative design reviews to precise equipment installation and meticulous commissioning, every step reflected their commitment and expertise. This sense of responsibility ensured on-schedule delivery and laid a solid foundation for the plant’s reliable operation.

Technology leadership guarantees high efficiency

Datong Longyuan has long focused on the R&D of coal-bunker anti-blocking technologies. The solution deployed at PLTU 3 BANTEN LONTAR employs proprietary hardware and control algorithms. The system continuously adapts its anti-blocking strategies to real-time bunker conditions, eliminating the chronic plugging issues that had hampered operation. After the retrofit, Unit #1’s bunker efficiency has risen sharply, equipment failure rates have dropped, and overall plant output has improved, creating substantial economic benefits.

Plant significance drives regional development

PLTU 3 BANTEN LONTAR (3 × 315 MW) is one of the Indonesian government’s flagship projects aimed at easing national power shortages. Located in Lontar Village, Banten Province, the plant has shouldered the critical task of supplying stable electricity to Jakarta and its surrounding areas. Its reliable output not only meets residential demand but also provides secure energy for numerous businesses, propelling rapid regional economic growth. During construction and operation, the project generated extensive local employment and contributed to social stability and prosperity.

Looking ahead to the next journey

The successful completion of the Unit #1 coal-bunker anti-blocking retrofit injects fresh momentum into Datong Longyuan’s expansion across Indonesia and the broader global energy market. It showcases our specialized capabilities and, more importantly, accumulates invaluable experience for future projects. Moving forward, Datong Longyuan will continue to embrace innovation, enhance technical and service excellence, and actively engage in worldwide energy initiatives. Together with our partners, we aim to foster efficient and stable development of the global energy industry, creating even greater accomplishments and building a better energy future for all.
