Analysis of Damage to the Fresh Water Maker (Reverse Osmosis) in the Fresh Water Production Process on the MT.SENGETI Ship
Keywords:
Reverse Osmosis, High Pressure Pump, CavitationAbstract
This study aims to analyze the causes of damage to the reverse osmosis freshwater maker system in the freshwater production process on the MT. Sengeti vessel. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with direct observation, interviews, and documentation studies of maintenance and damage reports. The results showed that the most common damage occurred in the high-pressure pump valve adapter due to high pressure, excessive vibration, and material fatigue, as well as cavitation and lack of routine maintenance. Repair efforts included component replacement, adjustment of working pressure, and improvement of crew operational understanding to optimize RO system performance.
