Abstract

PT PLN Nusantara Power Unit Pembangkit Tanjung Awar-Awar (UPTA) is a state-owned company that supplies electricity to areas of Java and Bali. Using coal as the main fuel, UPTA currently has two mills that each has capacity of 350 MW in coal-fired mode. Since the last few years, UPTA has been focusing on bringing efficiency into its overall operations, maximizing efforts for an improved output, modernizing machinery, and reducing emissions. After conducting routine inspection and examinations, UPTA decided to improve the air preheating element, so-called air preheater (APH), as an enabling condition to heat both the primary and secondary air to a temperature required for effective combustion in a boiler. To seek for an optimal APH, a redesign project was initiated to primarily change the element profile from a distorted wavy flow path to a linear flow path. The profile surface was coated with an added "enamel" layer, which prevents ash from adhering readily. Our measurements and calculations were based upon the data collected in October 2022 (pre- implementation) and within the periods of February to June 2023 (post-implementation). As a result, the average power consumption was reduced: from over 1740 kWh per month to become around 1377 - 1535 kWh per month, or 11% - 21%, for the induced draft fan (ID Fan) and from over 1900 kWh per month to become around 1450 - 1542 kWh per month, or 19% - 29%, for the primary air fan (PA Fan).
