Abstract

Riau Province is one of the largest palm oil producers in Indonesia. Pome of biogas is one form of renewable energy that can be utilized through biogas power plants. One of the biogas power plant in Riau is a Rama-Rama biogas power plant in Kampar. As a first step to improving power plant efficiency, this plant has been identified as the location of the largest loss in power plant by energy analysis. Energy analysis were performed for a gas engine with multiple cylinder on biogas power plant 835 kW otto cycle. The data from the plant’s record books using for this analysis. The result, each gas engine cylinder has different efficiency values. The highest and lowest energy efficiency of gas engine found in cylinder 11 and cylinder 7, respectively 56,12% and 56,02%. That different efficiency value occurred due to the fact that there are large temperature differences between the combustion process every cylinder and the working fluid
