Analisa Unjuk Kerja Boiler Kapasitas 45 Ton Uap/Jam Di PT. Rohul Sawit Industri

One of the machines that play an important role in the palm oil production process is the Boiler. Boiler (steam boiler) is defined as a device that can produce steam, for use outside the device. Steam at high temperature and pressure is obtained from the process of heating water to boiling. This steam is the source of power and the source of steam in the processing at the palm oil mill. Apart from driving the steam turbine, steam from the boiler is also used at the sterilizer station (where the Tbs is boiling). This research was conducted to determine the condition of boiler performance at this time and at the beginning of operation and to compare boiler performance at this time with the beginning of operation. The method that the author uses is the method of observation or direct observation to the field to obtain data then analysis is carried out to obtain boiler performance parameters. From the results of this study, it was found that the fuel requirement at the beginning of the operation was 1374.46 kg/hour, while the current fuel requirement was 1235.87 kg/hour, there was a decrease of 138.59 kg/hour. The decrease in fuel demand is caused by a decrease in steam flow, the greater the steam flow, the greater the value of the fuel requirement, and vice versa, the smaller the steam flow, the smaller the fuel requirement in the boiler
