Penajam Paser Utara Regent Hands Over 180 CNG Water Pumps To Farmers
PENAJAM PASER UTARA - Regent of Penajam Paser Utara (PPU) Abdul Gafur Mas'ud handed over 180 units of water pumps to target farmers, which is a package for converting fuel oil (BBM) to fuel gas (BBG).
"This water pump assistance is a program from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and a program from Commission VII DPR RI," said PPU Regent Abdul Gafur Mas'ud (AGM) when handing over the aid in Penajam, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 21.
A total of 180 units of these water pumps are spread over four sub-districts in PPU, in accordance with the submission and completeness of the documents owned by each farmer.
The advantage of the BBG water pump is that it is more efficient than using fuel. However, if farmers are going to use fuel at the water pump, it can also be done, namely by removing the gas line and switching to a fuel tube.
The advantage of the fuel-to-BBG conversion water pump, he continued, is that it can even save fuel costs by up to 30 percent, then it can produce clean energy and does not cause environmental pollution.
