Scaling and corrosion are two major problems in operation of the Small Scale Geothermal Power Plant. This paper discusses some results of the study that was conducted to assess the scaling formation in the Kamojang 3 MW Small Scale Geothermal Power Plant. The result of the study concluded that scaling occurred on the nozzle and steam turbine blade where the main minerals contained in sample A (solid) are Tridymate (SiO2), Pyrite (FeS2) and Chlorite (ClO2). While in sample B (sand) where the main mineral contained in the sample is Tridymate (SiO2), Pyrite (FeS2), Plagioclase (Na,Ca)(Si, Al)4O8 and Chlorite (ClO2). The analysis of this scaling was done by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) method.  Scaling of the nozzle of the steam turbine causes the steam flow rate to decrease, thus lowering the power that the Small-Scale Geothermal Power Plant generates because the power generated by the Small-Scale Geothermal Power Plant is directly a function of the steam flow rate and the enthalpy difference between the inlet side and the outlet side of the turbine. However, scaling does not occur on the exit side of the wellhead KMJ 68 because the concentration of silica is very small that is 0.05 ppm at geothermal steam temperature 200.5°C.Keywords: geothermal steam, scaling, corrosion, Small Scale Geothermal Power Plant ABSTRAKScaling dan korosi merupakan dua masalah yang sangat serius ditemukan pada pengoperasian PLTP Skala Kecil. Tulisan ini membahas sebagian hasil studi yang dilakukan untuk mengkaji pembentukan scaling pada PLTP Skala Kecil Kamojang 3 MW dan pengaruhnya pada daya listrik yang dihasilkan oleh PLTP Skala Kecil. Dari hasil kajian dapat disimpulkan bahwa scaling terjadi pada Nozzle dan sudu-sudu turbin dimana mineral utama yang terdapat didalam sampel A (berupa endapan/padat) adalah Tridymate (SiO2), Pyrite (FeS2) dan Chlorite (ClO2). Sedangkan pada sampel B (endapan lepas/pasiran) dimana mineral utama yang terdapat didalam sampel adalah Tridymate (SiO2), Pyrite (FeS2), Plagioclase (Na,Ca)(Si,Al)4O8 dan Chlorite (ClO2). Analisis scaling ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metoda XRD.(X-Ray Diffraction). Scaling yang terjadi pada bagian nozzle dari turbin uap menyebabkan laju aliran uap berkurang sehingga menurunkan daya yang dihasllkan PLTP Skala Kecil karena daya yang dihasilkan PLTP Skala Kecil secara langsung merupakan fungsi dari laju aliran uap dan perbedaan entalpi antara sisi masuk dan sisi keluar dari turbin. Akan tetapi, tidak terjadi scaling pada sisi keluar kepala sumur KMJ 68 karena kosentrasi silika sangat kecil yaitu sebesar 0,05 ppm pada temperatur uap panas bumi 200,5oC .Kata kunci : uap panas bumi, scaling, korosi, PLTP Skala Kecil,

Renewable energy development for power generation is in line with the government's program toincrease the share of renewable energy in the national energy mix which is relatively small at themoment. BPPT, collaborating with PTPN 5 in the Insinas Flagship program, built a pilot plant for biogasproduction from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) with a capacity of 700 kW. The reactor used in this pilotproject is a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) which is the most important operating unit forproducing biogas from POME. Therefore, the selection of the CSTR foundation is crucial since themain process occurs in the reactor. The scope of this activity is to realize the final design into theconstruction of a CSTR pilot plant. Several types of foundations were studied, starting from shallowfoundation type such as tread foundation, deep foundation, until combining shallow foundation typewith deep foundation type. The evaluation of existing data and design review indicates that the use ofMat Foundation is not suitable due to soil condition at a depth of 0–5m which is in the form of sandyloam soil with an NSPT value of less than 20. The selection of Piles is based on the calculations usingtotal vertical load of 3035,37 ton and total horizontal load of 542,57 tons. Considering the availability ofmaterials and time concern, the recommended foundation type is pile with a diameter of 600 mm typeB and a length of 12 m.
