Abstract. In the Ciguha mining area which is located at PT Aneka Tambang Tbk, UBPE Pongkor, Bogor Regency, West Java Province, there is a change in the quantity of air in the mine ventilation system. A decrease in air quantity occurs in the auxiliary fan along with the flexible duct which causes a decrease in the air discharge and there is an air leakage in the area around the main fan which causes the air to come back out. The maximum limit for reducing air discharge determined by the company is 15%. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research with the aim of knowing the decrease in air flow in the 37 kW auxiliary fan blower with a new fan condition, 22 kW exhaust 40 m long, and the percentage of air leaks in the main fan area. The research was conducted on mine ventilation components in the form of a 37 kW auxiliary fan type blower with a 40 m long flexible duct located on XC-486 and a 22 kW exhaust fan with a 40 m long flexible duct located on XC-481 as well as for a 132 kW main fan located at CGRB-3, 75 kW main fan located at RM-3 CGT and RM-6 CGS Lower. In this study, primary data were used in the form of air velocity, dimensions of the leakage area holes, flexible duct distance, and tunnel dimension and secondary data in the form of air discharge from the fan specifications. Primary and secondary data processing is caried out in order to determine the air discharge which can later be calculated by the percentage of reduction and the area of leakage on the main fan. The percentage for the air reduction for the auxiliary fan with the 37 kW blower fan located at XC-481 which is 23,96%, and for a 22 kW exhaust fan which is a number 33,40% which based on this value, the two auxiliary fans did not meet the standard values determined by the company. The percentage of air leakage around the 132 kW main fan located at CGRB-3 is 0,23%, the 75 kW main fan located at RM-3 CGT is 0,97%, and the 75 kW main fan located at RM-6 CGS is 0,73. Based on this percentage value, the main fan still meets the standards set by the company.

Abstrak. Pada area penambangan Ciguha yang berada di PT Aneka Tambang Tbk, UBPE Pongkor, Kabupaten Bogor, Provinsi Jawa Barat terjadi penurunan kuantitas udara pada sistem ventilasi tambang. Penurunan kuantitas udara terjadi pada auxiliary fan beserta flexible duct yang menyebabkan adanya penurunan debit udara dan terdapat kebocoran udara pada area sekitar main fan yang menyebabkan udara keluar kembali. Batas maksimal penurunan debit udara yang ditentukan oleh perusahaan yaitu 15%. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian dengan tujuan mengetahui penurunan debit udara pada auxiliary fan blower 37 kW dengan kondisi fan baru, exhaust 22 kW sepanjang 40 m, serta persentase kebocoran udara pada area main fan. Penelitian dilakukan pada komponen ventilasi tambang berupa auxiliary fan jenis blower 37 kW dengan panjang flexible duct 40 m yang terletak di XC-486 dan fan exhaust 22 kW dengan panjang flexible duct 40 m yang terletak di XC-481 serta untuk main fan 132 kW yang terletak di CGRB-3, main fan 75 kW yang terletak di RM-3 CGT dan RM-6 CGS Bawah. Pada penelitian ini digunakan data primer berupa kecepatan udara, dimensi lubang area kebocoran, jarak flexible duct, serta dimensi tunnel dan data sekunder berupa peta administrasi, peta topografi, peta geologi, spesifikasi fan. Pengolahan data primer dan sekunder dilakukan untuk mengetahui debit udara yang selanjutnya digunakan untuk menghitung persentase penurunan debit udara serta area kebocoran pada main fan. Persentase penurunan debit udara pada auxiliary fan dengan jenis fan blower 37 kW m yang terletak di XC-481 yaitu sebesar 23,96%, dan untuk fan exhaust 22 kW sebesar 33,40%. Kedua auxiliary fan tersebut tidak memenuhi nilai standar yang ditentukan oleh perusahaan yaitu 15%. Persentase kebocoran udara pada area sekitar main fan 132 kW yang terletak di CGRB-3 yaitu sebesar 0,23%, main fan 75 kW yang terletak di RM-3 CGT sebesar 0,97%, dan main fan 75 kW yang terletak di RM-6 CGS Bawah sebesar 0,73%. Berdasarkan nilai persentase tersebut untuk main fan masih memenuhi standar yang ditentukan oleh perusahaan yaitu 15%.
