Operasi Sistem BOP (Balance of Plant) Pembangkit Thermal

Background & About the Course
In coal-fired steam power plants (PLTU), the facilities are categorized into Main Power Equipment, Balance of Plant (BOP), and Coal Handling. Main Power Equipment includes the boiler, turbine, generator, transformer, and condenser. BOP encompasses various systems such as the Water Treatment Plant (MED, Mixed Bed, Demineralized Tank), Water Pump House (Service Water Pump House, Raw Water Tank, Portable Reservoir, Sea Water Reservoir), Wastewater Treatment Plant, Start-Up Boiler, Fuel Oil Pump House, Chlorine Plant, and Circulating Water Pump. The scope of BOP equipment may vary depending on the plant’s configuration.
The BOP system is crucial; any issues within it can disrupt the entire PLTU operation. Therefore, operators and technicians must thoroughly understand the operation and functionality of BOP systems. Continuous supervision of BOP operations is essential to maintain the performance of the power plant. This training aims to equip participants with the knowledge necessary for optimal PLTU operations.
Course Objectives
After completing the training, participants are expected to:
- Understand the main components of a PLTU.
