Root Cause Analysis for PKT Kaltim V Plant Steam Cycle Failure

The Root Cause Analysis for PKT Kaltim V Plant Steam Cycle Failure was a project commissioned by PT Pupuk Kaltim, focusing on identifying the causes of failures within the steam cycle of the Kaltim V plant. The project aimed to investigate operational inefficiencies, with particular emphasis on the corrosion issues affecting the steam turbine, a critical component in the plant's energy production. Ensuring the integrity of the steam cycle was essential to maintaining the plant's productivity and minimizing downtime.

A member from PT Geni Buana Nusantara was responsible for conducting a comprehensive analysis of the steam turbine corrosion. This analysis was based on a detailed study of the steam cycle and the impurities present in the system, which contributed to the turbine's degradation. The investigation provided valuable insights into the factors leading to the failure, and the team member developed recommendations for preventive measures. These recommendations included improvements in material selection, maintenance practices, and system monitoring to mitigate corrosion risks and enhance the long-term reliability of the steam turbine and the plant as a whole.
