Description
Summary:Efficiency of steam power plants are significantly influenced by a variety of things, among others influenced by the condenser pressure rises due to biofouling which causes a decrease in cooling capacity of the condenser. <br /> <br /> <br /> In the primary cooling system, because it uses sea water fluid will occur due to biofouling absence of treatment to overcome these biofouling. This review is expected to see an overview of losses are the result of the impact of biofouling. So we are aware and can make improvements so that loses does not happen again. Damage arising because of the biofouling film layer formed in condenser tubes that lead to narrowing of the tube condenser that will cause a decrease in the volume flow of cooling condenser backpressure will increase due to the turbine increasing condenser pressure or decreasing condenser vacuum. Because the vacuum that this drop will result in cost to plant operations will increase due to fuel consumption will need more.
