Expert Allegation: This Is What Triggered the Fire at the Plumpang Fuel Depot
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Oil and gas (oil and gas) researchers reveal a number of possible reasons behind the explosion of the Pertamina Fuel Oil Depot or Terminal (TBBM) in Plumpang, Koja, North Jakarta. The explosion occurred on Friday (3/3/2023) night, which until now is still being investigated.
Main Researcher at the Research and Development Center for Oil and Gas 1985-2015, Oberlin Sidjib, explained the possible causes of the explosion at the Plumpang Depot. Oberlin said several factors could trigger the explosion at TBBM Plumpang.
One of the factors that can cause an explosion is the volatile characteristics of fuel oil (BBM). Followed by mixed oxygen can cause a fire.
“We’ll look at the lightning factor (which was conveyed by the residents), let alone the rumor that there was refueling. Now we know the characteristics of gasoline fuel are volatile, so as a result of this evaporation, the air mixes with the air and if there is lightning this is the problem,” said Oberlin to CNBC Indonesia in the ‘Profit’ program, Monday (6/3/2023).
Indeed, previously there were rumors that when the incident occurred, local residents heard a sound like thunder. Followed before the explosion, at that time the weather in the area was indeed rainy. At the same time, about 30 minutes or 20 minutes before the explosion occurred, there was a strong smell of petrol.
That way, Oberlin revealed that there was a possibility that the filling of fuel and the presence of lightning could cause an explosion and even a fire.
Apart from that, Oberlin also revealed that the presence of exposed electrical wires is also a way to start a fire, causing a fire. So according to him, monitoring of equipment including pipes and electrical cables there must always be done.
“We also have to see if there is any maintenance on the pipes or the fuel filling system at the depot is continuously monitored. Because it can happen if there are electrical cables too, yes, if something opens like that, it can also cause problems,” he said.
Meanwhile, he also alluded to the matter of residents’ settlements which are considered very close to TBBM Plumpang which can also trigger problems. Which Oberlin mentioned in the daily activities of residents relying on fire for cooking, smoking and other activities.
So, he assessed, if there was a pipe leak at that time, it could have been ignited by residents’ activities involving fire in the settlement. “As we know, the characteristic of our fuel is that it is easy to volatilize and it flies meaning into the air. So if this leak occurs, if the settlement is very close, then the settlement has fire, cooking, smoking, and so on, this is a problem,” he concluded.
Pertamina Corporate Communication Vice President, Fadjar Djoko Santoso stated that the Plumpang Depot, which had experienced a fire, had been operating 100% since Saturday morning (4/3/2023).
“It has been operating 100% since Saturday morning, supply and distribution are normal,” said Fadjar to CNBC Indonesia, Monday (6/3/2023).
Fadjar also could not explain why the Plumpang Depot, Pertamina could experience a fire. What is clear, his party supports the steps taken by the Indonesian National Police to conduct an investigation. “We are waiting for the results of the investigation from the police,” said Fadjar.
Previously, after the severe fire at the Oil Fuel Depot or Terminal (TBBM), Plumpang, Koja, North Jakarta owned by PT Pertamina (Persero), the government, especially Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) provided options in this regard.
At least, President Jokowi provided two options for solutions to the fire problem at the Pertamina Plumpang Depot. This was stated by the President during his visit to the Evacuation Post in the Plumpang Children’s Home Integrated Public Room (RPTRA), North Jakarta, Sunday (5/3/2023).
The two solution options mentioned by Jokowi include relocating residents around the Pertamina Plumpang Depot or moving the Pertamina Plumpang Fuel Oil Terminal (TBBM). “It could be that Plumpang was shifted to reclamation or the residents were shifted, relocated,” he said.
Jokowi emphasized that the Pertamina Depot is a dangerous zone that must be far from residential areas. Therefore, there should not be residential areas near fuel depots.
If residents are relocated, then said Jokowi, the area they are currently living in will become the Pertamina Depo buffer zone. The President asked his staff to make a quick decision whether the residents were being relocated or the Pertamina Depot was being moved.
“This will be decided in a day or two by Pertamina & the Governor of DKI so that the solution becomes clear. But indeed this zone should be a water zone,” he added.
According to Jokowi, there must be facilities that protect these vital objects, because the goods stored there are very dangerous when they are close to the community, especially to residential areas.
