Analysis of the ambient air environment of the steam power plant industry

Abstract

Abstract Steam power plants is one industry that produces electrical energy needed by the community, electrical energy is needed to improve the welfare of the wider community. The negative environmental impacts caused by this industrial activity include the impact of environmental pollution, both the physical-chemical, biological, economic-socio-cultural and public health environment living around the industrial activity site. The negative impact is mainly caused by the use of coal fuel which emits entropy which can affect the quality of the environment. In this research, we want to know the negative impact of the activities of the steam power industry on ambient air quality around the location of the activity. The experimental research method was conducted to determine the effect of coal use on the quality of the ambient air environment quantitatively. Methods of environmental quality analysis using laboratory tests and matching test results with national quality standards. Possible cause of the low levels of entropy in the steam power plant industry is the suitability of the type of electric power steam engine that is still classified as the latest technology with low rank coal used by the industry.
