Abstract

Combustion is a chemical process called exothermic reaction, where all chemical reaction involves energy to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds form in products. The combustion process that occurs in the incinerator is an exothermic reaction where hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce heat, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor. However, in general combustion process that occurs is usually an imperfect reaction that creates harmful gas emissions. In this research, the author uses an electrostatic precipitator to filter emissions produced by the incinerator. An incinerator is a furnace used to treat solid waste, then turn it into gas, and ashes (fly ash and bottom ash). The experiment compares the combustion emission with the usage of ESP and without ESP. The experiment used a portable gas analyzer to gather emission data. The result of this research shows that ESP can reduce emissions from incinerator by 41% in filtering carbon monoxide (CO),18% in filtering hydrocarbon (HC), and 11% in filtering carbon dioxide (CO2). The oxygen value increases by 8% in ESP turned-on condition.

Abstract

Turbines are one important component in a power plant. The function of the turbine is to utilize the potential energy contained in the steam which is then converted into kinetic energy by the nozzle, then the kinetic energy is converted again into mechanical energy in the turbine blade and shaft rotation. In a rankine cycle after the steam comes out of the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT), the steam will change in phase from gas to liquid by passing through the condenser. The condensate water is heated again through a Low Pressure Heater (LPH) until finally it is heated again to the High Pressure Heater (HPH) before entering the boiler. But whether the performance of the turbine if when the HPH is not operating will decrease. In this study, an efficiency calculation will be carried out between the condition of the HPH operating and the condition of the HPH not operating, as well as finding coal consumption in both conditions. Based on the study, turbine efficiency did not show any significant difference between the condition of the HPH being in operation and the HPH not operating, that is 94.07% for the condition of the HPH to operate and 93.72% for the condition of the HPH not operating. While coal consumption at the time the HPH was operating was 164 Ton / h and at the HPH not operating was 170 Ton /h.

Abstract

In general, coal fossil fuel reserves are the main load in the industry, especially in the use of boiler engines. Coal comprises carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and mineral compounds. A boiler engine is a machine that produces high-pressure water vapor by heating water through fuels such as coal. The water vapor can then be used for various purposes, such as heating oil in the oil manufacturing industry, especially PT. Meadow Rays. Steam is an effective and inexpensive medium for transferring heat to a process. Coal plays an important role in the operation of boiler engines because coal is one of the fuels that is often used in the heating process. The quality of the coal can affect the quality of the steam produced by the boiler engine. Suitable coal shape for boilers at PT. Meadow rays are generally solid or solid, such as chunks, fractional coal, or bituminous coal that has a large coal size that has a mesh size between 3.2 mm to 6.3 mm or about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This is because the solid, dense form of coal has a higher density and lower porosity, so it can retain heat better and provide a smaller surface for the combustion process. Coal users must be provided to PT. Sinar Meadow must have a minimum calorie of 6300 kcal/kg, for the efficiency and safety of the boiler at PT. Meadow Rays. Therefore, paying attention to the coal quality used in boiler engines is important to produce high-quality and efficient steam.

Abstract

Maintenance on the turbine must always be carried out, because if one component of the turbine engine is damaged, it will affect the entire performance of the turbine engine. The function of bearing lubrication in turbines is to prevent direct contact between the bearing and the turbine shaft. Therefore, lubrication is needed. Bearing lubrication on the turbine is a very important issue so that the turbine should not be rotated without lubrication will cause material damage. Preventive maintenance of turbines can be pursued by implementing QCC PM. Adding a portable purifier when excessive water content occurs, adjusting the pressure steam seal serves to prevent main steam from entering the bearing area which can cause high water content due to mixing of oil with water. Making a steam block serves to prevent steam from entering the bearing area lubricated by VG 46 medium oil, causing high water content. And routine maintenance to check the mesh aims to assess the feasibility of the mesh and the suitability of the needs of the cleanliness purifier oil system which can be seen from the CBM data, namely tribology monitoring.

Abstract

Fabrication is the arrangement of work of all components of the material, whether it is plates, pipes, steel, or other metals, that are then formed and sculpted from semi-finished material until it becomes a commodity that can be mounted into a chain of industrial or construction tools. All materials will be managed, received, stored, distributed, traceable and disposed of in accordance with material handling procedures. There are two reviews for the load on rigging, namely the horizontal load and the vertical load. The process of platform manufacturing starts with the process of marking, cutting, assembling, welding, and finishing. After that, the components will be blasted and painted. Once the manufacture is done, you can go straight to the installation stage. To go through the fabrication process requires calculations to match the values allowed to avoid unwanted things. The biggest load on the rigging load is 269.6 MT, which can determine which crane will lift the load allowed or not. The maximum load that can be lifted by a crane to lift a vent boom is 346.71 MT. For permitted thickness a variety of values according to the material used.

Abstract

Ducting is a supporting component of the HVAC system. (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning). In other words, ducting can be used as an air supply, and as a channel for both cold and hot air, air drainage, air absorption, and ventilation. It is used to ensure that the air quality in the room is awakened according to the needs of the room. In the selection of material for ducting, one can consider various aspects. In this journal, the aspects considered are the corrosion rate, ultimate tensile strength, and the material price of the three types of materials, namely BJLS, aluminium, and stainless steel. Based on the results of the test and calculation, BJSL has the highest corrosion rate of about 0.62 Mpy on the 14th day, stainless steel has a corrosive rate of around 0.29 Mpy on the 14th day, and aluminum has the lowest rate of corrosiveness of about 0,27 Mpy at the 15th day.
