Originally installed in the late 1950s, a national electric power generation plant’s pulverized coal-fired boiler system was in need of a retrofit. The task at hand was the replacement of the steel piping system used to convey pulverized...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released an updated proposal for boiler and emissions standards it originally proposed last March. The proposals were controversial due to concerns that they would add an additional cost burden to industries...
This month the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will issue the final rules on emissions regulations that it introduced in July, and coal-fired power plants across the northeast and Midwest will assess the work that needs to be done and each project’s...
In recent years, many utilities’ thermal generation units, particularly older coal-, oil- and gas-fueled units, have been forced to cycle – often on a daily shutdown or hourly load follow basis. This is partially because of the commissioning...
Responsibility for keeping power plants running falls directly on the shoulders of plant personnel, so they need to understand what can go wrong, receive information on the current condition of the equipment, and fix things when equipment fails or performs...
Deregulation of the global energy market has required power producers to reduce operations and maintenance expenses while simultaneously ensuring high availability and reliability. It is no longer a cost plus business. Availability is directly related...
With a production capacity of more than 1,000 MW, this coal-fired power generator in the Midwest provides dependable baseload power to central and southern Indiana member distribution cooperatives. At full load levels, the plant’s two generating...
At a power generating station in Florida, a severe electrical fault caused such extensive damage to a 40 MW gas turbine-driven generator that a complete replacement of the generator stator was required. An on-site spare generator core was available,...
Industrial facilities often believe they have equipment lubrication covered with existing tools and systems — from spreadsheets to condition analysis to sophisticated preventive maintenance (PM) and corrective maintenance (CM) programs. However,...
When a main steam turbine valve fails to shut properly during an emergency turbine trip or normal shutdown, a turbine overspeed event can take place, resulting in catastrophic failure of the turbine and generator components; as well as endangering the...
Diligent control of makeup water, process water/steam and cooling water quality is a critical aspect at steam generating plants. These fluids must be of proper chemical and physical makeup, and must be conditioned correctly to minimize or prevent corrosion,...
You just applied for a steam turbine systems engineer position, and you start to wonder. What are they expecting? Did I learn enough in school? During my internship? On the farm? What it takes to be a STG systems engineer is a complicated question....
In my work as a pump consultant, I’m often asked, “How do you specify the correct pump into a given service?” It is really quite easy if you can conquer some fears and master a few concepts. Let me explain. When my son was a...
