Steam Power
Plant, Steam Power Plant is a power generation system with relatively low
operating costs because the working medium uses air. Boiler is a device that
functions to convert air into superheated steam which has high temperature and
pressure. One of the obstacles that occur at Power Steam Plant itself is a
decrease in boiler performance caused by the slagging phenomenon that forms on
the walls of the boiler. This phenomenon arose because of the replacement of
coal carried out by power steam plant. This practical work report describes the
handling of the slagging phenomenon in the boiler by using additive coal
injection in the boiler. The Coal Additive used is based on Magnesium, which is
useful for increasing the AFT value, because it can weaken the inter-particles
so that the particles that have reached AFT will turn into dry ash. There are
two parameters taken for the successful use of Coal Additives, the first is
clinker hardness which is the result of combustion in the boiler. Furthermore,
for additional parameters, it is seen from the value of NPHR (Net Plant Heat
Rate) which is an indicator of the reliability and efficiency of a thermal
generator, especially power steam plant. The smaller the NPHR value, the more
efficient it is.
