Energy Consultant – Liquid Fuels & Fuel Additives

Octagon Chem Oil Corporation

May 22, 2007 to December 31, 2007 – Completed

This project involves the provision of Combustion & Energy expertise with economic & financial analysis in order to promote the use of an aqua bio-fuel additive developed by a Japanese Inventor that will allow the blending of water with diesel oil and fuel oil (bunker fuel and low sulfur fuel oil).  The addition of bio-fuel additive will reduce emissions of SO2 and CO2 and raise combustion efficiency due to the enhanced atomization of the fuel due to the rapid volume expansion of liquid water into vapor.  The end result is an environmental-friendly and energy-efficient fuel mix that reduces the cost of generating electricity when used in diesel engine generators and cost of steam when used in diesel-fired or bunker-fired steam boilers.  The Consultant prepared the testing procedure and calculation sheets for determining combustion efficiency, generator efficiency, boiler efficiency, flue gas emission in general, emission of SO2 and CO2 per kg of steam or kWh of electricity, and fuel cost per kg of steam or kWh of electricity.  The fuel additives are presently undergoing joint evaluation and review by DOST, DOE and DENR as part of the DOE registration process for fuel additives in the Philippines.

Energy Planning and Project Finance Consultant

Energy & Power Development (consultancy)

June 22, 2007 to December 22, 2007 – Completed, submitted all reports to DOE

This six (6) month consultancy service intends to assist the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) in evaluating Qualified Third Party (QTP) proposals with respect to proposed technology, reliability and availability, equity and debt structure, capital and operating costs, fuel costs, manpower, maintenance and overhaul schedules and requirements, capacity factor, conversion efficiency, economic life and its resulting electricity tariff.  By looking into other technology alternatives, configuration and capacity, the “Best New Entrant” Full Cost Recovery Rate (FCRR) will be recommended in order to ensure adequate, reliable and affordable energy services to the rural communities in the Philippines.  As QTP Consultant, a policy note was prepared to augment the regulatory framework of the QTP Program to include the methodology, calculation procedure and data requirements for determining the socially acceptable retail rate (SARR) that the rural community could afford to pay for the reliable and cost-effective electricity service.  The FCRR was likewise determined from a power plant project finance model using NPC-SPUG’s return on rate base (RORB) tariff methodology which was modified by the QTP Consultant to include capital and reasonable profit recovery (tariff = rate base x WACC + generation cost + profit recovery, revenue = tariff x kWh sales) which allows for sustainable rural electrification. This is a World Bank funded project for Philippine Rural Electrification.
