Power Plant Maintenance Services from SVI BREMCO
Power plants are a considerable part of the world's economy. Without power generation, a majority of the world would shut down. As a result, power plants must maintain a clean, functioning facility, as inefficient or malfunctioning equipment can…
Inspection and Repairs in Kentucky: Project Brief
SVI BREMCO completed an inspection of a power plant in Kentucky and repaired an extensive amount of bricks and installed new Hastelloy steel plates.
Common Repairs Performed in Combined Cycle HRSG Plants
Combined cycle power plants are a popular choice in the power industry for electricity production. They offer better efficiency than other options like gas turbines or steams turbines alone. The combined cycle power plant (CCPP) involves two…
Why Do Combined Cycle Gas Plant Silencers Fail?
There are multiple sources of noise within combined cycle gas power plants (CCPP) that have to be addressed so they stay under the maximum noise level that a plant is permitted to have. In CCPPs, like simple cycle power plants, you will find…
How a Simple Cycle Plant Can Run More Efficiently and Get a Better ROI
The availability and reliability of equipment at simple cycle plants have a direct effect on the performance of the plant as a whole. As a result, proper operation of equipment, up to or exceeding its life span, is crucial to maximize the return on…
Maintenance Needs for Your Simple Cycle Plant
At all power plants, staying on top of maintenance is complicated and challenging, but it’s also essential for efficiency and safety. Power plants require comprehensive, organized maintenance procedures to ensure that downtime is minimal, and…
Safety Issues to Watch for in Your Simple Cycle Exhaust System
As with any industrial facility, there are certain safety risks present in simple cycle gas plants that must be monitored and mitigated when there is an issue.
Preventing Downtime at Your Simple Cycle Gas Plant
Do you know how much one hour of unplanned downtime costs your power plant? While the actual number may be different across various types and sizes of plants, its significance and impact are universal. Every second that your simple cycle plant is…
How Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems Work
For centuries, combustion reactions have been an efficient means for creating electricity fit to power anything. They also create a considerable amount of NOx, or nitrogen oxide, which harms the environment because it contributes to the…
The Effect of Inlet Air Cooling on Gas Turbine Efficiency
Gas turbines combust fuel and air to create significant heat. The resulting exhaust gases turn turbine rotor blades and create power. It’s vital to maintain precise conditions to ensure this reaction occurs consistently without unduly taxing the…
Types of Catalysts for SCR Operations
Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are common pollutants that produce a bevy of harmful environmental effects. They, along with sulfur dioxide and other particles, form acid rain that damages many animals’ habitats. Also, nitrogen oxides are one of several…
The Difference Between Steam and Gas Turbines
Power plants create electricity by one of several means. Two common elements used to create electricity are steam and gas, each of which require a different apparatus and operating condition to maximize performance. Here’s a brief guide to the…
