| Abstrak | Steam is water in vapor condition with certain temperature and pressure that produced in boiler. Steam is widely used as an energy transfer media in many industries because steam has several advantage such as flexible and easy to control and can be produced efficiently and economically. Another advantage of using steam as energy sources is cheap and easy to distribute to user point and the energy is easy to be transfer to the industrial process. To reach the user points, steam need to distribute through distribution lines that consist of pipeline, flanges, steam traps, valves, joins, etc., including insulation system. Poor maintenance in steam distribution is one of the source of significant energy loses. Repairing of steam distribution system in a paper industry with replacing/ repairing more than 160 steam traps, pipelines, condensate leaking and pipelines insulation can reduce the consumption of steam about 5% of total steam consumption or about 30,517 tons per year and can give financial saving about Rp. 3,295,280,000,-. The natural gas consumption reduces about 45,887.64 tons per year and reducing greenhouse gas emission about 311,163 tons CO2. This activity need an initial investment about Rp. 1,800,000,000 and the payback period is 0.55 year. |
