This paper uses a preventive maintenance approach in improving the performance reliability of critical boiler components at the Nagan Raya Steam Power Plant (PLTU Nagan Raya). PLTU currently has a strategic role in the electricity system in Indonesia, one of which is PLTU Nagan Raya which is located in Aceh. In its implementation, PLTU Nagan Raya often experiences interference in its production system. The boiler is one part that often experiences interference, where corrective maintenance is one of the causes of the interference. Evaluation and performance improvement in terms of reliability are needed to minimize future failures. The purpose of this research is to determine the preventive maintenance time based on the reliability value of critical boiler components to increase the reliability value in the future. Preventive maintenance is a preventive activity before a machine breakdown occurs. The reliability value will be calculated in advance before the implementation of preventive maintenance. The results of the implementation of preventive maintenance in an effort to increase the reliability of the nine critical components of the boiler obtained maintenance results ranging from 14 days to 47 days with a reliability value of 60%.

Salah satu pembangkit listrik di Indonesia adalah pembangkit listrik Asam Asam yang terletak di dekat mulut tambang batubara. Setiap pembangkit listrik membutuhkan sejumlah besar air sebagai fluida kerja atau sebagai air pendingin. Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap Asam Asam Batubara menggunakan air sungai sebagai air pendingin dengan mesin pendingin sebagai mesinnya. Pada bulan September 2017, menara pendingin unit 2B dari PLTU Asam Asam Batubara mengalami kegagalan operasi karena spacer rusak dan membuat PLTU Asam Asam Batubara mengalami penurunan dan kerugian lainnya. Tim teknik mendiagnosis kasus tersebut karena ketidakselarasan. Berdasarkan uraian akar penyebab masalah, ada tiga masalah utama yang mungkin terjadi yaitu: misalignment, unbalance, dan rotasi gearbox berat. Misalignment adalah pemicu utama untuk serangkaian masalah yang menyebabkan kegagalan operasi menara pendingin. Maka perlu mempelajari masalah utama yang menyebabkan kegagalan operasi menara pendingin untuk ditindaklanjuti dengan pemeliharaan preventif sesuai dengan kondisi saat ini untuk mencegah kegagalan yang serupa di unit 2B dan unit serupa lainnya. One of the power plants in Indonesia is the Asam Asam power plant located near the mouth of the coal mine. Each power plant requires large amounts of water as a working fluid or as a cooling water. Asam Asam Coal Fired Steam Power Plant uses river water as a cooling water with the cooling towers as its engine. In September 2017, the cooling tower unit 2B of Asam Asam Coal Fired Steam Power Plant experienced an operation failure because of the spacer was broken and made the Asam Asam Coal Fired Steam Power Plant to experience derating and other losses. The engineering team diagnoses the case due to misalignment. Based on the description of the root causes of the problem, there are three main problems that might occur namely : misalignment, unbalance, and heavy gearbox rotation. Misalignment is the main trigger for a series of problems causing failure of cooling tower operations. Then it is necessary to study the main problems causing the failure of the cooling tower operation to be followed up with preventive maintenance in accordance with the current conditions to prevent similar failures in unit 2B and other similar units.

The objective of this work was to enhance the product’s quality by concentrating on the machine’s optimized efficiency. In order to increase the machine’s reliability, the basis of reliability-centered maintenance approach was utilized. The purpose was to establish a planned preventive maintenance strategy to identify the machine’s critical components having a noteworthy effect on the product’s quality. The critical components were prioritized using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The goal of the study was to decrease the ppm time interval for a CNC machine by simulating the projected preventive maintenance time interval. For this purpose, the simulation software ProModel 7.5 was implemented for the current preventive maintenance procedure to choose the best ppm time interval which contributed better norms. Five dissimilar optimization approaches were applied, however, the first approach yielded the prominent total system cost and the shorter ppm interval. The results of the study revealed that there was an increase of USD 1878 as a result of an increase in total system cost from USD 78,365 to USD 80,243. Preventive maintenance costs were reduced from USD 4196 to USD 2248 (46%). The costs associated with good parts increased from USD 8259 to USD 8294 (0.4%) and the costs associated with defective parts reduced from USD 171 to USD 3 (98.25%), respectively.

Abstract As it is well known, deposits in boilers contribute to boiler inefficiency, capacity reductions, and overheated tubes, which lead to tube failures. To improve the heat transfer inside the furnace the fouling deposits obviously should be removed. In order to take fouling into account in the overall furnace and boiler heat balance it is necessary to measure two main parameters — thickness of the deposits and their reflectivity (emissivity) in the wavelength of visible and IR region. In the present paper it is demonstrated how such measurement (see detailed description in Ref [1–3] can be used for on-line automatic sootblowing control. Results of our study demonstrate that dynamics of both parameters (contamination thickness and reflectivity) on the operated boiler can be registered in real time and then interpreted separately. The sootblowing boiler monitoring has been implemented at the 550 MW unit equipped with B&W opposite wall burners. The fouling and thickness sensors (FTR) were installed in different locations of the combustion chamber through its width and height. It was shown that dynamics of thickness and reflectivity variation just after the wall cleaning activation are quite different. Situations have been registered where changes of reflectivity have a significant impact on heat transfer, comparable and sometimes even greater than that of growing fouling thickness. Technique and device exploited in this study appears to be a very useful tool for sootblowing optimization and, as a result, for improvement of boiler efficiency and reduction of water wall erosion and corrosion. The paper presents a strategy to implement a comprehensive automatic control of soot blowing in power plant boilers. The paper will describe the existing installations where individual components are in operation, and describe an integrated system that could combine all these parts to make an integrated intelligent sootblowing system.

An interesting method for “boosting thermal efficiency and/or power output of an existing steam power plant is repowering through the addition of gas turbines. The forced draught fan is replaced by a gas turbine and the air heater by low-temperature economisers. This conversion will change the performance of the installation significantly. Therefore the design of the existing installation has to be reviewed based on new unit performance calculations. Since the conversion has to be economical, it is important to find a good compromise between investment and improvement of performance. This paper describes the change in performance of the installation created by the conversion in general and a number of design possibilities based on the experience gained with the realisation of a number of conversion projects. These projects show a possible efficiency increase of over 10% and a power increase of up to 30%.
